Pros

Good trucks, okay miles, decent pay some times

Cons

Unorganized planners and dispatch, not much concern for drivers when it comes to most situations, pay unreliable some weeks you do great some weeks you do bad even when you push yourself for them. Minimal pay guarantee is rarely guaranteed and rules have been changed to screw more drivers out of pay used to be had to work atleast 5 days now its cant spend more than 48 hrs home after 2 weeks or a month out.

Pros

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PROS

Cons

STAY AWAY AND DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ROTTEN COMPANY AND HELP ME SHUT THEM DOWN!!! THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR DRIVERS OR THEIR WELL BEING, THEY ARE JUST ROBOTS!!! THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR PRECIOUS P.O.S TRUCKS THAT DO NOT EVEN HAVE AIR BAGS, BUT THE DRIVER IS JUST A REPLACEABLE DOORMAT AND IF HE/SHE DIES, OH WELL WE CAN REPLACE HIM/HER AND NOT EVEN SO MUCH AS ASK "ARE YOU OKAY??? INSTEAD, AFTER YOU ALMOST DIED AND ARE IN A HOSPITAL BARELY CONSCIOUS YOU RECEIVE A HEARLESS PHONE CALL TELLING YOU THAT YOU DESTROYED THEIR JUNKY TRUCK (THAT ALWAYS HAD ISSUES) AND CAUSED THAT MUCH DAMAGE, NOT EVEN SO MUCH AS AN ARE YOU OKAY???" I hope this company goes bankrupt, but it will probably get shut down faster for all the scams, lies, unsafe trucks, equipment and mistreatment to their employees. The truck was having issues as far as locking up and something was not right with the computer as it would malfunction and he has asked them SEVERAL times if they could fix it, but they shrugged it off and did not care so the outcome is that they put MANY people in danger and fatal situations!!! If you have one incident that was NOT your fault, they will find a way to blame it on you, make false accusations, terminate you on the spot and cancel the insurance contract within a few hours so that you can die because they don't care (they figure they will find another replaceable robot). These pathetic p.o.s CROOKS will not even cover your medical expenses so BE CAREFUL AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! I don't know why there is no option for 0 stars because they do not even deserve 1. Also they use RETREADED TIRES!!! What trucking company cannot afford new tires for their drivers!!!???

Pros

Not working directly with someone over shoulder

Cons

Fire you for anything even if it ain’t your fault. Seen one guy get fired bc he laid a truck over trying to avoid plowing over someone that was on coming in his lane. When driving for a trucking company it’s pretty much a lose/lose situation if you make any mistake. Even if it’s the best way out of a difficult situation.
