Pros

I came in knowing very little about diesel engines and not knowing anything about working on trailers but I have learned a lot

Cons

Not much room to advance. Not enough pay for the amount of work they want. No bonuses for the mechanics just the wash bay personnel and drivers

Pros

If one wants to work they usually have it. I have made more money here than any other job, but it's mostly due to the fact that I work more than most others. Some terminals have mileage pay while others have percentage. Percentage is better. Management big on safety because we haul deadly stuff. Generally good place to work.

Cons

Benefits could be better. Health ins. not good and way too expensive for what one gets. Cost me $580 monthly for family coverage for bad plans. Holiday pay is only $50 and no sick/personal days. I think pay should be more per trip due to the high risk we take handling such dangerous product.

Pros

Guaranteed pay, really helps when there are slow months, management seems to be doing a better job at listening to the drivers.

Cons

No consistent schedule, very hard to have a life outside of this company. The pay is not enough for what you have to deal with.
