Pros

Pay and family time was amazing

Cons

In my opinion, working for Transdev, contracted for Waymo self-driving trucks, was nothing short of a nightmare. This company systematically undervalued and mistreated contractors, hiding behind "PC culture" to marginalize anyone they deemed unworthy. The environment was suffused with fear and exclusion, creating a profoundly toxic atmosphere. Contractors faced relentless aggression, pressure, and hostility. The lack of support and respect made it nearly impossible to perform our duties effectively. Now that my NDA is up, I can speak openly about the hostilities, racism, and rampant prejudice that were a daily reality at Waymo. They treated truck drivers and software operators like dirt. It's a disgrace that such open discrimination and hostility are still tolerated. Companies must foster inclusive and supportive atmospheres where all employees are treated with dignity and respect. Calling out such injustices is not just necessary but imperative for creating workplaces that uplift rather than demean. Put one positive note while the contract lasted. We did get paid well and didn't have a high work week. A lot of it was wasted time because upper management did not know what they were doing and could not siphon a schedule that made productivity. They wasted so much money on stuff that should have never been in thought.

Pros

Pay is decent, plenty of opportunity for over time. Management is decent most of the time. Opportunities for advancement and to work at other sights when work is down

Cons

University holidays, breaks, and summer semester create a lot of financial hardships because those days are unpaid. After a year you get a week of PTO. No sick leave. They have a very strict point system. If you call out or leave early you lose points. 2 points per call out. They do not accept doctors notes. If you miss 5 days you're out of a job. The union helps but they have been more focused on pay increases when their is so much wrong. You are not only monitored by AI on the bus along with cameras but also have supervisors onsight that heavily enforce protocol in a way that makes the job highly stressful. You get pulled to the carpet over the most minor stuff. All of this has been from my perspective as driver. Their are better places out there in the industry but for this area you feel the safest here. If you can stomach all of this then try to advance as soon as you can. It gets much more flexible once you are in the office or become a supervisor.
