Pros

Not working directly with someone over shoulder

Cons

Fire you for anything even if it ain’t your fault. Seen one guy get fired bc he laid a truck over trying to avoid plowing over someone that was on coming in his lane. When driving for a trucking company it’s pretty much a lose/lose situation if you make any mistake. Even if it’s the best way out of a difficult situation.

Pros

Good office camaraderie, regular PTO available for long term employees if you stay there long enough, good overall structure in place to deal with most common trucking company/industry issues.

Cons

Management has a tendency to nitpick issues. Everything is goal and growth oriented as a public company so you're always expected to do more with less. During the current trucking market they keep looking for new ways to trim the fat. This was the first year they didn't provide company calendars to employees, and got rid of the yearly floating PTO day as well. 401k contributions also diminished. There were also blatant sexist/transphobic/homophobic remarks made nearly daily and nothing was ever done about it.
