Worst job I've ever had.

Pros

My DM was a legitimately good person.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other companies. Home time is scarce, assuming you can afford to take it at all. Decent paying runs are few and far between; usually followed by extended periods of down time, followed by local runs (garbage for an OTR driver). Trucks are horribly maintained, and maintenance is never in a hurry to fix them, nor are they held to any sort of standard when they get around to fixing them. Takes upwards of an hour to get in touch with anyone in case of an emergency (break downs, accidents, etc). Never seemed to be in a hurry when it came to getting me back for Home Time. Too few DMs when compared to amount of drivers.

Pros

People are nice and leaders do not micromanage. A lot of corporate employees have been there for a VERY LONG time so there is a lot of knowledge of the business.

Cons

Horrible benefits and boring work. People walk around like they do not know each other. A lot of the corporate employees have been there a VERY LONG time so there little room for upward movement. Very stagnant corporate culture.
