      Pros

      The staff here is nice, all the equipment is newer, everything is automatic if you call that a pro. You work 10-14 hr days. You also get your own truck and the loads are pretty easy. If you get stuck out past your 14 they get you a hotel(rarely happens).

      Cons

      Ohio area has high turn over rate because of the lost coke account over a year ago. All they do now is broker loads and run a small smuckers and water load. They will tell you they are busy during the phone interview but everyone quits after a few weeks because of the small pay checks. Out of the new people we've hired over the past 3 months, no one is here anymore. They give the good loads to their veteran drivers so they won't quit either.

      Pros

      Home Time Is Reliable ,Easy Work (No-Touch Freight).

      Cons

      There is no overtime pay, and the benefits package is limited. Drivers are often required to work 60–70 hours per week at straight time. Routes are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so there is little predictability—you typically don’t know your route until the start of your shift. The equipment is equipped with radar-based safety systems, including speed control and automatic emergency braking, which can be restrictive and take time to adjust to, contributing to a more stressful driving experience.
