Pros

I was always moving as long as i wanted, the loads come faster than i could even accept them. Get with the Johnstown Pa terminal. they are great people there.

Cons

some managers don't care night crew doesn't like to work so get set up before night and weekend hits, also some managers only care about themselves. HR doesn't really have your back and once you are let go you don't have access to any of your info
