Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Central location. Yearly raises.

Cons

Management is always changing. Maintenance is terrible. Mostly young inexperienced techs. Trucks are not properly maintained or kept to DOT standards. No one in upper management seems to know any DOT laws or regulations. Newer drivers get better equipment. It doesn't matter how many decades you've invested into this company, one bad day and they'll send you packing like you never mattered because you don't and never will. Saftey is preached non stop but they will send you out in non road worthy trucks that are a hazard to you and everyone else on the road. If your just starting out in your professional driving career this place is an okay stepping stone to gain experience not some place you want to stay long term.
