Pros

They get you a bus ticket really quick to get u to Nashville for your stay at a roach motel.....

Cons

A whole lot too many to list..... They do not compensate drivers correctly for actual miles driven and I'm not talking about just a few miles here. They shorted me on one particular trip that I did almost 100 miles and they were very consistent at doing this. Drivers this is not an honest company to work for. Their bottom line is the company makes a lot of money the driver won't. Nasty hotel no orientation pay after hire and like I said too many to list you have been warned good luck

Pros

Now absolutely none never been treated so poorly in my life everything told to me was a lie this place sucks

Cons

Everything recruiters don't know what they are talking about they tell you one thing you go to orientation only to find out pay and home time are not what they tell you family oriented not hardly. Driver trainers are no help mine spent most of his time sleeping wouldn't help with anything you have to figure out what to do one your own. I got out and took a bus home on my own. If you decide to take a chance on this company stay out of truck 3671 when not driving will make you stay in sleeper with curtain closed at all times and he will threaten to remove you from his truck almost daily I don't like to be threatened I think he does this so you can't see what he is doing I believe he is using his cell phone that's why he doesn't allow you to open curtain while in sleeper. I have never been so miss treated in my life at least in jail you can see through the bars of a jail cell not with them. I also set up for direct deposit on my pay check they deposited it to my efs card without my permission now it's taken me 4days and counting to access my money still don't know when I'll be able to get it poor set up.

Pros

If you're a new driver, or if you need a second chance, they'll hire you, but that's about the best I can say.

Cons

I've never seen such a bad place to work. This is literally a bottom of the barrel kind of place, and that's how they treat you. In orientation, they treat you like a prisoner, because a lot of their employees are former inmates and that's what they understand. Everybody is either stressed and depressed, or just don't care, and driver support is horrible. They'll lie to you about your pay rate, and if your truck needs maintenance, you'll be down for days and forced to stay in the nastiest motel in Nashville.
