Pros

Same start time every day and same 2 days off every week. Compensation is good. There are unexpected perks at times -- gift cards at holidays, generous pay for working holidays, etc.

Cons

Many, many unwritten and confusing policies. Training is good depending on which of the three trainers you get. The unfortunate part is the terminal management is not. It appears that they intentionally omit important information from training so that you frequently have "coachings", which border on abusive and humiliating, when you forget to dot an "i" or cross a "t." There are only 4 trucks that likely can pass a DOT level 1 inspection. Most trucks have 500,000 miles or more and are "safe" barely. Management is rarely onsite although there are 3 managers assigned to the location. Repair requests from pre and post trips go unfulfilled week after week. One great example is if the headlights come on, there is no need to adjust them so you can actually see at night. Worst headlights I have ever tried to use.
