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.
