Pros
Day is Over when Route is Complete Pay is 1099 - No Taxes Taken Out - Independent Contractor Off on Weekends (Sometimes work on Saturdays during Peak Season) No Supervisor breathing down your neck Ability to make good money (IF** you own your own truck)
Cons
Long Hours No Overtime Pay - No additional pay for working 60 and 80 hours Dispatchers dont care if you have a life outside CEVA Dispatchers dont care if the route is a feasible route to be inside delivery time windows Unorganized Favoritism with drivers, even if you are working hard, if you arent buddy buddy with the people giving routes, you may not even work some days if its slow 1099 (as a PRO and CON) - You must pay taxes at the end of the year on a job that barely makes ends meet without taxes taken out. As a Helper you get less respect than a driver, and are treated as a disposable commodity instead of an asset to the company.
