Pros

DROP AND HOOK AT TERMINALS DOES NOT HAVE TO GO TO CUSTOMERS

Cons

We came to Forward Air as Team Owner Operators We talk to company Recruiters they said about 5000 to 6000 miles per week with good home time policy but a lot of times we have to sit at terminals for waiting on Freight and not getting enough miles when we call Dispatchers they said doesn't have freight for Long Haul because Team Drivers appreciate Long Hauls well I think it's a wastage of time and we are planning to leave Forward Air.Anybody want to come on board with Forward Air,please think twice.

Pros

Solid pay with very good benefits and incentive programs; good opportunity to move up within the organization as they continue to grow; top-notch, seasoned middle and senior management professionals who provide an opportunity for employees to learn and develop as professionals. Great culture and great people.

Cons

One of the FA mantra's is "Work hard, play hard; but work always comes first" As a FA employee you will have good opportunity to go above and beyond and advance within the company, but be prepared to work long hours and pay your dues to the company first as that is how the leaders of the company got to where they are today: with many years of hard work beginning at the ground level. For some this could be a con for the work/life balance, but for others this is a positive as each employee will have the opportunity to decide and be in control of their own success with this company.

Pros

Benefits were about the only thing I could say that was a positive. Other than that, there were very few bright spots.

Cons

Management was more concerned with advancing the friends they had in high school than the people that actually knew how to do the job.
