Pros
Top hourly had gone up to $27.10, pretty decent. I believe that put them near the top among LTL carriers. Coupled with overtime, pretty good checks. I was doing $62-64K my last couple years there. Some guys that volunteered for even more overtime or because where their start time situated them in the days operations made even more. The vetting of prospective employees is very through, end result is a bunch of pretty good people to work with and be around.
Cons
The usual LTL driver complaints. I wonder if anyone's all that happy that does LTL driving. I suspect the same issues are everywhere. But to pick one, inefficient dispatching. Not just a dispatcher issue. One guy doing a huge area. Needed two dispatchers. A software program to help them in planning could have helped them see more clearly how to route people. Supposedly in the works. Company spends a lot on unnecessary money on overtime.
