Pros

Minimum pay $1450. Maintenance layover pay. Layover pay. Lots of miles.

Cons

Fleet managers inexperienced. Requirements for minimum pay not explained up front, They do not work with you to get you home by requested times. If you request within the specified time, they lose track of your request even though it was already approved. They kept me out until I missed my wife's medical appointment. They also kept me parked at truck stops without pay for extended periods. I was available to drive but no jobs were coming in on the tablet. I both called and texted through the tablet and was put off every time.

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.
