Pros

Nice facilities, upper management seems to care and generally everyone is friendly. For a larger company they still have a small company feel. At least the computers stay running which is more than I can say for other jobs I've had. They always seem to be expanding so there's opportunites opening up all the time.

Cons

Health insurance is a bit expensive but I'm told it's due to all the drivers who have a lot of health problems. Makes sense I guess. There are a few departments that have drama but lately they've been weeding out the bad seeds.

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.
