Pros

Good job and people but they don’t care about you. HR is the least caring of everyone.

Cons

Horrible benefits, zero maternity leave or care for women’s/parents situations pre and post birth. You have to pay for short term disability and then only get a percentage of your check for 6-8 weeks. The rest is unpaid and then Cowan asks you for a check to pay them back for unpaid benefits during your time off. They are disgraceful.

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.
