Pros

Checks are deposited on time.

Cons

This company misrepresents itself. Once you get through training, and are issued your truck, it is VITAL that you keep a notebook of every load order, including paid mileage (load and empty), times of arrival and departure, and details of issues not being addressed. This makes this job more stressful than it should be. I just started this job, and I'm over 1000 miles not paid what I was told I'd be paid. I have some trips that werent paid at all. You are delayed on a daily basis having to wait for information you need to deliver/ pick up your loads. This is constantly causing you money. When these issues are addressed, you get vague and sometimes sarcastic answers. The equipment is ok. But proper maintenance, even when listed on VIR is addressed vaguely, and sometimes ignored. This company is only concerned with safety scores, and "building a clearer vision".... but will take from you (the driver) to achieve this "clearer" vision, without any warning or notice. This company WILL screw you.
