Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. Stability. Jobs in a variety of fields- van, tanker, roll off, vacuum truck, end dump… Locations all over the US and Canada. Some set runs, some variable dispatch. Local, regional, cross country. Some hourly, some pay by mile. Some drop and hook, some live unload/reload. Most loads are between company owned facilities. Depends on individual job. Safety is a top priority.

Cons

Vacation pay for drivers needs to be revised. Basic vacation pay is 40 hours, my average pay is roughly equal to 65 hours (40 + 25 @ overtime). If I use 60 hours of vacation per week taken, my paycheck is still only two thirds of my average take home pay. If you have driven for trucking companies, the adjustment to private fleet can be… interesting.
