Pros

Very good company that helped me and my family get back on our feet. I had a good boss and the work environment was healthy for the most part. The coworkers were decent people without a whole lot of backstabbing. Was the best schedule and paying job I’ve ever had for me and my family. Equipment was good and issues that came up were fixed right away for the most part, wether that meant getting you into another truck or getting yours fixed promptly. Another good thing is that you had your own truck, there was no slip seating.

Cons

There’s not a lot to say about cons other than my schedule changed to being out all of the week instead of 1 or 2 nights a week. This ended up being an issue for me and my family. Unfortunately this happened right around the same time that my boss made pay cuts for guys staying out all week. This brought my pay down about 20-30%. So the job that had the best schedule I’ve ever had and best pay I’ve ever had now made it to where I didn’t have time for my family and I couldn’t pay my bills,so I had to leave. I would have left eventually anyway years down the road to tend to aging parents in another state but we just decided to do it now considering the circumstances

Pros

Driver self routed via computer dispatch. Self scheduling. Direct deposit.

Cons

Long onboarding time for drivers 2-3 weeks before you actually start earning a paycheck. This is considered standard for them. No written job descriptions. For company this size with no written policies and procedures, it's unusual! Continually moving the goal post and asking more of employees without additional compensation. Technology poorly utilized or underutilized the technology in place. Lower level management is technology adverse. No real advancement opportunities. No written or unwritten Open door policy or a way to take issues, ideas complaints higher than local regional management. If local management doesn't agree with you, your idea is dead. In many cases they are acting like a small mom and pop company, when they have hundreds of employees. They utilize every way to not pay overtime via "day pay" or truck driver exemptions? Lower management does not understand legal ramifications of information put out. No standardized pay tracking, sheets are manually filled out and sent in. Very inefficient workflow at times. Dispatched does not understand asset capabilities and requirements. Work overload for some administrative positions given too many responsibilities. Too much email traffic without a specific purpose.
