Pros

It was an easy job. Got to see the entire country. in a short time. Got necessary experience. Learned what was needed.

Cons

Not enough miles, sat too much at truck stops, company thinks drivers are all about 12 years old and constantly wants to babysit and talk down to drivers that are smarter than them, I don't need that and can do the job with ease! Getting home time was always difficult due to their lack of planning. Would never get me in to a nice truck and I never had any issues with driving, was always on time and got the job done safely!
