Pros

Everything if you can get on full time. Meeting new people and the different companies you go to every day as a casual driver those days are very far apart I'm going on two months no work!

Cons

City trucks need lots of improvement. RE: JUNK hammy downs from road drivers 6-7hundred thousand miles when city drivers get them. Upper management in a struggle over power.RE office personnel micro manage!

Working on a cold dock in the Winter with do doors. Some workers that don’t appreciate the benifits of working under a Teamster contract.

Pros

Pay is best in the business. $100,000+ first year as a road driver. Year two I made $107,000… and took two months off for cancer surgery. Year three I made $129,000. I average 2-3 nights per week in a hotel. Usually only 1 night out then back home the next day. Frequently running turns (home at end of the run). Insurance is free and EXCELLENT coverage. I paid $1,000 total out-of-pocket for cancer surgery.

Cons

Not much life/work balance. Frustrating spending time on the extra board waiting to get a call to go to work, but with more seniority you get less wait time.
