Pros

They are a good company to start back driving if you have been off the road for awhile. They will pretty much hire anybody with a cdl and you can bs your way in if you can drive a truck. Loads are decent and a lot of drop and hook at same location.

Cons

Make sure you check out your truck very well before you spend half a day loading in all your gear! make sure the sleeper don't smell like urine "mine did" forget about getting any help from dispatch on weekends cause you won't get any

Pros

Good if you need initial experience or no recent experience

Cons

Recruiting said 1200/wk started at 3-400/wk. Never get home when promised. Lack of communication across the board. Night/wknd dispatchers are clueless. Always waiting to load/unload. Never know where their trailers are.

Pros

Not a good place to work, one thing I say they were honest about, was they don't sugar coat s---. The pay is wack, they tell you, over the phone, you'll make 1200 weekly that's a lie. The most I grossed was 800... Tarp pay is $15 and all we Carrie is lumber tarps... And I been here for a year.. I got 3 years driving experience...There very unprofessional here, they push you to run illegal to make early delivery... I got hurt in the job last week, they wanted me to travel from north east Ohio to Nashville for treatment. I was already home and I said screw that and went to the hospital. I then followed up with workers comp. I Stayed home the rest of the week... They was so mad calling, cussing me out. And called me a horrible driver... Then they fired me today.... 02 -25-15. Every driver says these exact words, this is the worse company I ever drove for. Even swift is better then these retards ...

Cons

There real bad about getting you home. It's like they try to pick your home time. And when you do go home its gonna be on a weekend no week days nothing!!!!
