Pros

Fairly Steady freight. Decent Pay after your first 6-9 months Easiest trucking company to work for. Dont get in a wreck, and if you ARE going to be late, send in a message. Thats it. Do those two things, and you'll never get fired.

Cons

Driver Cameras Going to all Automatic fleet takes a while to learn their system and how to avoid problems You MUST be proactive and stay on dispatchers and planners, or you WILL SIT and make no money.

Pros

Good salary if you keep your truck moving. Many extra load choices if you qualify. Choice of 3 loads delivered on QUALCOMM for you to accept or reject. 3rd party dispatcher for extra loads or help getting out of dead area.

Cons

Very little home time as an owner operator especially if your leasing your truck. Must keep those wheels turning or you will not make it.

Pros

There are some actual analysts that you can learn from more so then management

Cons

Managers remind me if being in HS. They are a clique so if you go to another manager for help/advice they tell your manager. They have people as managers that are not knowledgeable enough for the position and that are not held accountable for their short comings. Tend to spend more time assisting those they favor. They preach open door policy but then they retaliate when anything is brought to their attention that they don't want to deal with. Spends more time helping their friends in other department. Overwhelm their rockstar employees and give them no true compensation that compares to other employees who continually don't pull their own weight. Given all this they then act so baffled as to why there is such a high turn over rate. Solution clean house of management, get rid of lazy and confrontational analyst and promote from within. Your rockstar analysts belong in management because clearly they are doing what it takes to maximise cash flow.
