Pros

New equipment they have pretty good maintenance for the trucks. Twenty word minimum and I'm finished with the pros.and that's my experience

Cons

Did the owner op thing for a while until I found out they have a class action law suit by owner ops. Basically we were just company drivers just footing the bill for them. Managers are extremely rude and disrespectful. And the weekend dispatchers always sounded like they were too busy playing candy cruse to help you.
