Pros

Good trucks, okay miles, decent pay some times

Cons

Unorganized planners and dispatch, not much concern for drivers when it comes to most situations, pay unreliable some weeks you do great some weeks you do bad even when you push yourself for them. Minimal pay guarantee is rarely guaranteed and rules have been changed to screw more drivers out of pay used to be had to work atleast 5 days now its cant spend more than 48 hrs home after 2 weeks or a month out.

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.
