      Pros

      Fairish pay (decent second company) Must stay with company 6 months or they charge you transportation and hotel you had during orientation (~$400) OTR is 54 cent plus 8 cent priemium pay as Carrot to chase (don't be late and do everything correct)

      Cons

      Reefer industry sucks. Very few drop and hooks. Scan in all you paperwork. Spend 5+ hours getting loaded or unloaded and you have to get you trailers washed out, remember to fuel the trailer before you deliver or receiver will refuse you, and pre cool you trailer. Dry van is way less hassle.. I spent 5.5 hours at a shipper and got $30 detention pay. $6 per hour Have to fight to get paid correctly

      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.
