Pros
There are no pros here. Stay away.
Cons
Rude, arrogant, lying thieves. 1. Flatbed trailers are all beat up. 2. Only $35 breakdown "pay", which you won't get anyway. 3. No scheduled time off. 4. If they know they can bully you they will. No conscience at all. 5. "Training" is joke. You learn on your own. 6. Will run you everyday for weeks on end with no restarts or, have you sit for days with no layover pay. 7.Don't pay short miles. Have had tarped loads as low as 160 miles. Took more time to get loaded, tarped and strapped then to drive. 8. "Fuel solutions". Can only fuel at Pilot/FlyingJ, and only the specific one they tell you. Will make you stop to get as little as 45 gallons. Make you go out of your way to the tightest, most inconvenient ones too. Your time they don't care. 9. "Optimized Idle". When it is hot and you need the AC the optimized idle turns the truck on and off the whole night. When it starts an alarm goes off on the dash. So either wake up every 10 minutes with optimized idle or sleep in an oven. 10. Lowest pay of all flatbed companies. 11. $25 Tarp pay. 2 big heavy 26' lumber tarps. 12. Terminal in Fontana, no showers, no washing machines. The mechanics work under a cheap oversized carport. Trailer mechanics work outside. 13. Nashville terminal. 2 skanky showers. 2 washer/dryers. Driver "lounge", a small concrete block room with some dirty plastic tables and chairs in the mechanics garage and a skanky trailer with some vending machines used by the 100+ people going through orientation everyweek. 14. They split your mileage pay in half, and call half of it "per diem", which it is not. That's to their benefit, so they don't have to pay the proper amount into unemployment, social security etc. 15. Stay away from these greedy despicable thieves.
