MV Transportation: Steer Clear - Unsafe At Any Speed!
Pros
It's a driving job. Your hours are unlikely going to be regular. You can use the bathroom, but only while off company time. You can eat & drink to re-hydrate, but only off company time. Any qualified driver who applies is likely to be hired; MV Transportation's very high turnover rate means they're always looking for new drivers & they aren't picky. If you don't care about the quality of your work, your co-workers, your principles, or your professional record, then by all means apply.
Cons
Poor, unresponsive & abusive office & corporate staff, including dispatchers. Many clients are drunk, abusing drugs, argumentative & abusive verbally & in some cases, physically. Expect to be assaulted. MV Transportation's pay, compensation & benefits (what little they do offer) plainly suck. Your coworkers are likely to leave your vehicle a mess, requiring you to clean up after them & the MV Transportation's office staff doesn't care. The vehicles are in various stages of disrepair & in some cases, unfit to be driven. Bringing this to the MV Transportation office staff is a waste of time. You'll be required to perform your vehicle inspection report & never given enough time to do it properly, requiring you to falsify a legal document. The Safety Supervisor even tells the drivers to 'pencil-whip' the inspection reports! The safety meetings are a joke & the general manager is nothing but a paper-pushing corporate lackey. The training is rushed, sparse, inconsistent & sub-minimal & the trainers are burnt-out. Many drivers are urged, even required, to drive double shifts. Trying to contact MV Transportation corporate HR is next to impossible. The employee manuals are merely a list of things that both the corporate & local office ignore & violate on a daily basis. It's all about lip-service & maintaining appearances.
