Pros
$10 for food each shift
Cons
They will not provide all safety equipment for the refineries (i.e. side shield glasses that fit over eyeglasses, which refineries require) I had to buy it myself and was not reimbursed. Awful trucks and trailers, sleepers are half size and have no fridge if you do long haul. The truck doesn't shift correctly, has steering issues, and you'll need earplugs for the engine noise while driving. Trailers have spring ride they are that old. They are rusty, corroding, peeling, and falling apart. Issues are constantly reported and Pilot is aware, but does not fix them. I had a hostile and rude trainer. I did 6 weeks of training, and I was told it'd be 4 weeks. I was already carded at several refineries and ready to go solo. I complained the training is going too long and the trainer is negative and rude. Well the trainer decided to complain back about me regarding things he didn't communicate with me about. Also these things were not previously issues but suddenly became issues after I complained. Very childish drama. And they would rather take the hammer down on the new guy than the guy whos been there for 10 years. You're going to continue to waste paying for labor and recruitment of drivers because you don't listen to the drivers you already hired. It's a revolving door at Pilot. I now make more money than I made at Pilot. I haul truck parts around, no excessive training or hazmat risk. I won't be back, thanks
