Pros

Always rolling, a lot of work.

Cons

If you run out of HRs at the shipper you will NOT get paid for detention pay, and if you only have 1 hr left on your clock at the shipper and you sit for 5 hrs you only get paid for only 1 hr. On the weekend do not call dispatch they will not help you, you are on your own. If a load has to be at its destination asap your DM will order you to drive all night,

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.
