Pros

If you want OT then this is the place for you. Starting pay is not bad. 50cent raises every six months for the first year. Co-workers are nice and they watch out for you. Work by yourself all day, if you like that.

Cons

OT is a requirement Trucks are almost always in short supply. (broken) People to work seem to be in short supply, especially for the mechanics, hence the reason trucks are always in short supply. Mechanics are good they just have too much work. NO home or personal life. Way to many hours of work. Shortest day was just under 10 hrs and you WILL absolutely work 14 hours way WAY more than the 10 hour day.
