Pros

No flexible schedule after you been given a flexible schedule. More overtime than you really want and need. Becareful of lack of sleep while doing overtime because sometime you will get a call to report too early after you been told to get 8 hours of sleep. If you like working alone you are your own boss but remember you have to talk on a cell phone walkie talkie at their calls.

Cons

The dispatcher are drama queens ready to start a fight about anything mainly when they want to give too many add on and you have already a overloaded manifest. They are not patience with new driver and hardly make eye contact with you because they know after one day of working with those dispatcher you will hate even hearing their voice. The address always have missing info or misunderstanding info from the clients. The time that indicated on manifest is never honor by the dispatchers without a fight to get off work. The job is working with unprofessional co-workers and unorganized administration. The job behind the wheel is very scarry because you are on your own when looking for help out on those streets. Sometime I felt like they were picking over the manifest to give to certain drivers. As a new driver I was overload because they knew I had driving experience. Environment is not as friendly as you would think a large company like MV should have a good record but it is not as friendly.

Pros

Company does a good job with the training, re-training, reviews etc. Supervisors, Road Supervisors, and Coworkers are encouraging and nice. Trainers are excellent.

Cons

My approved weekly schedule was never honored and I was hired with the false impression that they would work with my school schedule as I was a student. You only get your schedule for the next day by 10pm, so when it doesn't match what your approved schedule is (due to either school or another full time job) you have to wait the next day to either call in or maybe even come in late because your taking night classes until 9:30pm and are scheduled to work at 4:45am. You have to sign papers when this happens, so it makes you look unprofessional and irresponsible, despite the fact that it is because your work schedule keeps changing on a daily basis (even if they agree and approve your schedule for certain hours). I personally did not get enough sleep for my classes nor did I have enough for driving, which is not safe. If you have an open and flexible schedule then you probably will not run into this problem. However, if you are hoping to take classes or have another job, it might be.
