Pros

Good progressive step pay through union and yearly raise too starting around 28 up to 34. Good benefits and Union day shift or nights

Cons

Dirty trucks never washed, no trailers with charging equipment for lift gate loads %80 of the time. Management cuts hours, calls often to see if you’re wasting hours. Trucks are never repaired only duct taped. Assigned routes are sometimes given away.no GPS device for metro routes. Loads are always all over the place stop 1 is often in the back so you have to move pallets or breakdown pallets to scan each dairy boxes and frozen pallets after scan rebuild said pallets to make delivery. Pay could be better and they will adjust your time when they notice you can do a route much quicker than usual so you would make less hours.must call out 10 hours prior to shift minimum
