Pros

People care about each other and the company. Drivers are treated like family. Office is a close knit group that trys to ensure that everyone gets what they need to be successful. FL,TM, and Ops manager ensure that at the end of the day everyone has what they need. Flexible schedule when you need that extra hour. Managers that care about their team and their drivers. Only thing that could get me to leave is a large pay increase.

Cons

Limited earning potential due to set pay scales in the office. Moving ahead requires a terminal transfer as the team in Sumner is set and very good at what they do.
