Pros

Very intimate work environment for a large company. Impressed with the management team.

Cons

Like everywhere else, there is less and less concern for employees and more concern for the bottom line. Great management team with good ideas, but team leaders and "mentors" responsible for training really have little experience with training. In their defense, they are expected to carry out their own normal responsibilities AND train new employees. They are spread very thin. It is a high pressure job which involves managing what are often times less than desirable employees.

Driver beware

Pros

They keep you out for as long as you like. They give most drivers a second chance. They have a guaranteed pay system, so if your week is crap, you'll not go broke. They have amazing weather/breakdown pay.

Cons

It seems that you're more of a number then a name to most of the dispatchers here. They seem to cherish their loads over you at times as well. They have a hard time keeping night/weekend dispatchers. So it's hard to get ahold of someone after hours They also seem to be completly unorganized, they will mix up dispatches (if you have multiple from the same facility) and give you some attitude if you call them out to correct it. At times they will not get you home on time, and give a sorry excuse about why. They sometimes fire drivers over very minor accidents. Other drivers will at times leave you with broken down trailers Most other drivers don't care about you. It's everyone for themselves it seems.
