Pros

Nice equipment if your domiciled from a non end of the line location. Uniforms. Newer line haul trailers. Electronic logs.

Cons

Large turn over of supervisors and dispatch planners. Most new people hired to manage are inexperienced and when they begin to understand they get fired or quit. I had seven supervisors in four years. Ccbcc the parent company seems oblivious to the actions of their trucking company. Drivers work an average of two hours per trip for no pay.

Pros

There are none. I would say the 100 days of vacation they give you every year, but you can't take them around the holidays. What's the use of days if you can only take them when they want you to.

Cons

Pay suck and management suck etc....The whole company suck when it comes to running an organization. This is the worse trucking job ever. They say RAISE and cut your pay by at least $150-$250 per week. They are users and want all of the money for the company. Drivers get no respect over here. The president Ron Drogan is a straight up liar. He wanted everybody to go hourly at one point and then months later, the whole company was on mileage which they don't have. Only suck ups get those great runs. If you're good, you may gross $750-$850 per week. They can't pay you right to save their life. There's at least a couple drivers every week short of pay. Their system is a fraud and they don't care. "I will try to put in on next week" is what they always say.

Pros

free drinks is all i can think of

Cons

Pretty much everything is bad with this company. Extremely poor communication. They don't tell their employees anything until the last minute. Figure why every yearly survey they do says communication is the thing they need to work on most. Recently the cut out making commission for sales so almost everyone in sales quit. Who wants to work for less money and no incentive? Pretty much every other company in Charlotte pays a commission to their sales team as it provides incentive for them to work harder and make money. Not here, they believe in you making less money each year. So dont apply for any sales position at this place unless you dont want to make any money. This also has an effect on their brokerage department as they dont have any new customers or cant get any now for them to make money. So brokerage will probably have their commissions cut too. This company is all about seeing how little money they can pay their employees and get away with it. You would think a mass exodus of a department would be a wake up call but nope. The people in charge now no pretty much nothing about transportation so the company felt as it is going backwards rather than growing. They say that most people like it here but their yearly surveys tell a different story. Again terrible communication, dont listen to their employees suggestions, no room for advancement/promotions unless you are in with the little inner circle, pay cuts, same jobs done but vastly different pay, add more to your work load but dont add any pay. I dont know what else i can add to keep you from working here. Pay here is also a joke, not up with industry standards and definitely not up to date with many other companies in Charlotte. No wonder they have high turnover especially in the past year. Everyone has seen the writing on the wall.
