Pros

This is a nice shop, the techs there are great people. I do love the options of shifts allowed.

Cons

Management is very, very, very greedy. You will NEVER get a raise unless you fight like hell for it. I watched this happen to *everyone* - even guys they 'value.' You basically have to go find another job and put in your two weeks before they consider. By that time you just gotta leave. They don't keep promises and the aim is to keep people down. I am not kidding, it's extremely toxic. They push you to sign for other people, for trailers other shifts have completed. I've seen this go wrong, too. If you go to HR about anything there is retaliation. They pay you as little as they can and expect you to run yourself down all shift. Why are we having to be constantly signed into a job even when we are waiting on a trailer and cleaning up? And then whatever you're signed onto is running out of time and they turn around and come at you for your times. (Yes, there is a timer because you click onto specific jobs, like a list where each job times you) it's actually wild and keeps people stressed out. The times keep decreasing, too. Why are you only giving 7min for something? I could go on and on about this. But I won't name names, but wow, I'm appalled by what the company has turned into. These crazy guys are so paranoid they wired cameras all over the shop, even over the lunch room door. They all have microphones. Tell me why that's there?

Pros

Great company who takes care of their drivers. Support is readily available, pay is competitive, and miles are there.

Cons

No cons, got exactly what was sold to me. The majority of people only take the time to review when they have something negative to say

Pros

Good opportunity to gain experience managing major customer accounts, handling high shipment volumes, and learning different areas of transportation and logistics. You get exposure to operations, customer service, carrier management, and problem-solving.

Cons

The workload can be heavy, especially when managing multiple high-volume accounts at the same time. Communication between departments can sometimes be inconsistent, and work-life balance may depend heavily on your team and assigned customers.
