Pros

The new local management is great at working with the drivers. Good coworkers.

Cons

Wage is below average for the industry. Schedule fluctuates on a daily basis. Not enough hours to keep drivers working full-time. Poor dispatching. Promises made are not promises kept. Not a career, more like a stepping stone.
