Pros

co-workers are friendly, make decent money. great benefits, drop n hook,

Cons

bait n switch, they tell you 5pm-1am but is not. more like 5pm-5/6/7am, they purposely route you to max hours (texas 12) which is 15 hours, when they are super busy they mandate that you work 6 days or write you up, but then force you to stay home when its slow, ZERO home life 12-14days are a normal day!!!! if you are supposed to be off tues-weds, they manipulate your schedule be telling you youre off monday but you work tuesday almost every week which now your off days are monday and weds. even though your offer letter says something else. HR doesnt hold anyone accountable. they like people who keep their mouths shut. ...they tell you go in "yard move" so you can work longer. i was personally told to use my 2 other exception rule so they can give me one more store, i said thats illegal and won't do it. i was asked why am i being a "problem", other drivers were told to log into someone else ELD and that they would give them that person user name and password because they were off that day. super shady leaders....super long hours, management is a joke, zero DOT experience telling DOT truck drivers whats in compliance and what isnt. when you correct them, you're considered to be "problem" senior management is worse. they come from the maintenance side of the warehouse to run a trucking business, makes no sense. leadership is very hard to deal with. its a "shut up and do what we say kind of environment". everything is a write up that could lead to being fired from people who know nothing. i pointed out multiple DOT Violations and was told to write it down and pull your trailer. but if you get pulled over for something thats "their fault", you get written up so they can save their own butts. the cons go on n on!
