Pros

Lots of miles but nothing else

Cons

Poor home time/told home every 2 weeks for a reset but get complained to after requesting home time once a month. Breakdown pay they refuse to pay you for and make excuses. Workerscomp (Got injured) and they refused to pay Plus in med bills/etc had to hire a lawyer. They will make your life a living hell by trying to get you to run illegal/or tired. You tell them to send you a qualcom messge to cover your bum and they refuse.
