Pros

Steady work, meager benefits, abundant overtime - can consistently work up to the DOT mandated number of daily/weekly hours.

Cons

Low hourly rate, nearly impossible to get a day off or vacation - uneven distribution of workload - some routes had ridiculous about of freight compared to others - I NEVER got a break during the day, let alone a LUNCH.
