Pros

Miles are decent if you’re willing into work. Routes are easy, mostly drop and hooks. 10% live loads. I very, rarely see live unloads

Cons

For a large group like this, communication can sometimes be lacking. The work/life balance isn’t truly there. One week it might be one way of doing things, the following might be a completely different system.
