      Worst Employer on my Resume - "Local" Truck Driver Cowan Systems Employee Review

      Pros

      Had a brand new Pete.

      Cons

      Bottom of the pit Dispatching. Corp folks in Baltimore may have completed the 5th grade. The job was tolerable until Company lost Coca Cola accounts in PA & NY to Werner. The "local" position became running like a sleeper driver with a 10 hour break every night. The reviews on their insurance plan is true. Junk. No sick days, no personal days. Gotta work a whole year to get 5 days vacation. If you last that long, make sure you use vacation before you quit because they won't pay you for it after you leave. Never worked for Swift, Schneider, or JB Hunt, but those companies actually look "good" after you try this place.

      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.
