Pros

It's a great place to get experience. There in never a lack of loads. Great equipment is supplied. Maintenance is great. Plenty of terminals. My driver manager does a great job at keeping me running and getting the miles.

Cons

The only con I can think of is the idea that Glass Door makes me come up with twenty words to fill in here in the cons box. I hope that this is enough words.

Pros

It gave me the chance and time to get experience after good starter co. lots of miles and good mentors, travel all 48 states.

Cons

The pay after all you time is low and you have to be out way to long to get home time. Also they don't realy get you home on time, and they will let you sit for long periods of time.
