I love the line of work but the companies dont treat their workers well.
Pros
Its a job, youll drive mostly friendly and kind crews that look out for you and get snacks and drinks for yours/their trips but bottom line is, its work. They work with you on things just make sure to put in as much work as you miss, plus they actually do pay time in a half for overtime and holidays
Cons
Grossly over worked (higher pay would make up for this), grossly underpaid, no actual set schedule its all 24 hour on call work. The only incentive you really have is a few 10-15 cent raises, a safety bonus every few months, doesnt really matter how much you work bc the most acknowledgement you get is when your working there for certain amounts of years. This is only my experience with both the companies. The drivers can be friendly but just like others like this, theyll throw each other under the bus to get ahead.
