Pros

Steady paycheck, Other drivers are friendly, you’ll get to know the people you deliver to really well

Cons

Management is just a bunch of sharks. They’ll tell you one thing this week and something else next week and act like they never told you that. They’ll fire drivers on the spot without investigation but have a whole process for someone in the office. Whatever they tell you up front is not how it is. You’re required to do whatever they tell you at any moment even if it makes no sense or you’ll be docked. Their way or the highway.

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.
