Pros

They keep you out for as long as you like. They give most drivers a second chance. They have a guaranteed pay system, so if your week is crap, you'll not go broke. They have amazing weather/breakdown pay.

Cons

It seems that you're more of a number then a name to most of the dispatchers here. They seem to cherish their loads over you at times as well. They have a hard time keeping night/weekend dispatchers. So it's hard to get ahold of someone after hours They also seem to be completly unorganized, they will mix up dispatches (if you have multiple from the same facility) and give you some attitude if you call them out to correct it. At times they will not get you home on time, and give a sorry excuse about why. They sometimes fire drivers over very minor accidents. Other drivers will at times leave you with broken down trailers Most other drivers don't care about you. It's everyone for themselves it seems.

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.
