Pros

They trained on how to tarp and strap down loads

Cons

Everything, by far the worst company I've ever driven for. I was bring home 500 a week. My trainer didn't strap down a load right and we got pulled over and I got stuck with the ticket. They said they would take care of it but instead I came home to a warrant and fine
