Pros

This company has a ton of freight and will work you consistently. There are a lot of locations so if you don't like to stay in one place you can relocate yearly. This carrier has a lot of newer equipment. Expect to work 8 hrs to 14 hrs. 5-6 days a week.

Cons

There are not enough trucks or drivers and tons of freight. If you get fatigued or sick plan on having to fight to get a day off without being written up. There is some older equipment that can leave you broke down and if you are paid by the load you do not get compensation until you have been stranded for over 2hrs. Carry some tools for a quick fix and limp it into the closest terminal so you can keep moving. Sometimes wait times for loads or empty trailers can take up to 2hrs. This is unreasonable and when you wait in to many places for to long it drives down pay per hour to below your hourly wage. If a driver is being paid per load they should be compensated for exaggerated wait times.

Pros

Good office in Ocala, FL. Pros end there.

Cons

Really bad software practice. Equally bad managers - no experience and morals. There is active hinderance when trying to do the right thing. If you have any other job offer, take it. This should be your last resort.

Pros

This is probably the easiest job I have ever had, pay is okay for a teenager. Weekends off. Cool people, you pretty much get along with everybody.

Cons

Long hours, my shift is supposed to run from 3-11:30 but since we are low on employees I am obligated to stay until 2:30am. Long hours. Not the best pay at 13.34hr for full time and $14.50hr PT. You get one 30min lunch and no other breaks. The job is easy, and even though I am there for almost 12 hours. It doesn't feel that long. Supervisors are cool until higher management comes around.
