Pros

Not a difficult company to get started in because recruiters are just securing their own financial stability. Decent equipment. Communication isnt great but it is far from bad. Have yet to experience forced dispatch. They have the accounts to keep you moving.

Cons

Dont expect to make money as a truck driver here, what ever salaries you find on their sites or told by a recruiter take 30%-50% off. To make the most money you will have zero home time, pushing your 70 to the max. Depending on your W-4, allowances, and benefit elections; after taxes you will be making $600-$900/week all dependent to how long you're waiting for live load/unloads

Not a good place to be

Business Outlook

Pros

Not a single good thing about this company

Cons

There are so many to list it is hard to find a spot, I guess the best thing to mention is they do not pay what they promise, on average you can expect to make $400 a week if you're lucky most weeks, over a month I only made $900 (before taxes) to put it into perspective. They rather have people sitting than getting miles to make money. When you mention anything to them they treat you like you don't matter and don't know what you're talking about, even if you have proof they try and undermine it. The list goes on and on, but just do yourself a favor and stay away. I truly do not recommend this company to anyone, stay far away.
