Pros

Good Dispatchers and great people to work with. When you needed to get home they dispatch you there with no problem.

Cons

When you have a bad week mileage wise its very bad not even decent miles. If it wasn't for such low miles on a very bad week I would have stayed. If your single with no kids then this is the job for you.

Pros

Great benefits, pay packages are good you get a yearly bonus and they also do CDL reimbursement. The equipment ranges from fair to great so that's a plus.

Cons

On Site Management is not always great. Some only care about the account so the drivers get treated unfair.

Business Outlook

Pros

Newer trucks, routes and fuel stops pre-planned. Great driver-mentors, thorough training for brand new drivers

Cons

Dispatch is horrible, had 5 different driver/managers in less than a year, and none EVER remembered who I was even after 5-6 weeks. Bonuses of any kind are a joke after first quarter. After a year still never received 2, 3, 4, quarter bonuses for previous year, told every excuse in the book. Final straw, out for 5 weeks( never out less than 4, 5 was typical.) put in for 5 days off, AGAIN told I could only have 3. Too bad they couldn't work as hard for me as I did for them! Look long and hard at different companies!!
