Pros

Great Company to start a career give chances to new drivers and drivers who need a second chance. Eric Neumann is my DM and he is great to work with. He always reaches back out to follow up with me as a driver and as a trainer for new drivers needs. If I need to get home he makes it happen as long as freight is availible. If freight is not availible he tries to work out a way and if he can't he is upfront and honest with me as a driver and doesn't try to blow smoke.

Cons

Bethlehem,PA terminal is lacking materials to outfit drivers for flatbed with needed equipment.
