Pros

Worked on Costco account. 90% of freight was no touch drop / hook. Friendly support crew at Manteno IL location. Overall a good company to work for.

Cons

*Had to search for empty trailers often. Your search time and miles driven were not paid for. *Their “paid mileage” is determined by zip code, not actual mileage driven. You are paid on average 90% of actual miles driven. *Wait time compensation does not kick in until 2 hrs after arrival / pickup / drop off time.
