not the worst but not the best either

Business Outlook

Pros

newer equipment, many terminals around the nation, some dedicated accounts, some local accounts, depending on where you are.

Cons

depending on where you are there may not be any good dedicated accounts. If you get a truck from a terminal other than your home terminal you my get a piece of junk dumped on you. Some dispatchers (driver managers or DM) act poorly and treat drivers as if they are dispensable. Some DMs act as if they have a hard time understanding the driver's want to be home.

Pros

Good late model equipment that’s in compliance. Good training but move on afterwards!

Cons

Team OTR pay is very bad, lost 56 cpm and dropped to 30 cpm when going team. No detention pay either. Team drivers stay away.

Pros

Nice equipment and fair pay, don't overwhelm you with macros.

Cons

They don't pay by actual miles driven, they pay by like a straight line to your destination. I drive 4 to 8 hours a week for free.
