Pros

They have paid training. They're a relatively easy company to get hired into. Average to relative high pay - you can pretty much stay out on the road as long as you want.

Cons

The training isn't complete comprehensive. The company is so big that sometimes you'll encounter poor service from random departments/people.

Hi, We have local routes that drivers who qualify could apply for. We encourage you to reach out to our placement center to learn more. We are not forced to dispatch. Drivers decide when they move and when they don't. If you have specific examples of your pain points, please submit a VYC so we can address them appropriately.
