Pros

I personally had great managers and coworkers and that is what kept me there as long as I stayed, pay is pretty good for customer service

Cons

Forced overtime on weekends with no pay, no flexibility, terrible work life balance, the pay is good because everyone you talk to is mad at you for missing a load and you had no control over it since managers have their own agenda and don't care who they throw under the bus on their way.

Pros

Pay was accurate and on time. They keep you moving, and if you sit they have no problem giving you a layover which was $100 a driver. When I started in 2023 my partner and I would get 5500-6000 miles every week, but in 2024 it dropped to more like 4800-5500 being the top end. They always got me home on time or early.

Cons

Couldn’t keep one manager for more than 3-4 months, due to managers either quitting or moving to other accounts. They lost a few terminals since merging with knight and swift. Feels like the company is in a decline but I haven’t worked there since 11/24 so I’m not sure how it is now. Your dispatcher/fm is not in control of your load planning so they have to wait for orders as to what loads you’ll be getting next which can be a pain. often times you’ll be sitting around waiting for a load with no updates. If there’s an issue at the shipper or your load got canceled your fleet manager has to reach out to the the planners, the planners have to reach out to csr and csr has to reach the shipper/ receiver, it’s a timely process.
