Stuck in the Past

Pros

Many, if you're not in the Intermodal Division.

Cons

The Intermodal Division is, my best estimation, stuck about 15-20 years in the past. They do not have an accurate, standard method of pricing and, over the past two years, we've had to reverse-engineer their entire pricing process. The VP in charge is now resting on his laurels, having figured out how to price accurately for their own cost, but doesn't have any interest (his own words and punctuation when asked about modern pricing tools and resources, "NO INTEREST,") in doing anything other than pricing on a day-by-day model that doesn't factor in past or present pricing; only adhering to current capacity and costs. There is also no growth potential in Intermodal, especially in this field.

Pros

Trucking is trucking. I had a good gig at the dedicated routes I have had. The dispatchers and planners in both areas worked to try to get everyone miles and home time. What I do like about this company is that they really are safety focused. If you are tired, they are fully behind you pulling over and getting some rest. And they never force you to drive in weather that is unsafe.

Cons

It's trucking. You are on the road, so limited access to bathrooms, you are away from family and friends, and you have to be able to work all kinds of different shifts.
