Pros

Garunteed paycheck if you’re looking for casual trucking and low pay.

Cons

Company does nothing for its drivers and they nickel and dime everything you do wrong. Any mistake is immediately a preventable accident whether it was legal or not and they fire you after two and leave you stranded from your home state with zero help. Half my check are below 1000 and the other half are barely above. Miles suck even though they promise 70000 a year. Lies. Avoid and do not work here. Find a company that’s employee owned.

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.
