Pros

None. Its a reason they are always hiring. .. im quitting as soon as im able.

Cons

Terrible communication between dispatch and driver. Weekend dispatch is useless. 20 cents a mile. And none of the perks they advertise. Layover pay is 35 bucks a day. And their gps Qualcomm system is unreliable, it cuts off at random. It will send you through places trucks cant go. And they send you the shortest distances dispite if its not the most efficient route. Dont be tricked like the rest of us. Stay away new drivers. Stay far away
