Driver

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The other drivers are willing to help you out if you are in a bind. Management tried hard to treat drivers with respect, i can say that they appreciate drivers for what they do.

Cons

No set routes. Even for driver who been there.

Business Outlook

Pros

It's better than an OTR company.

Cons

Slip-seating and if there is an equipment problem, you are expected to drive anyway. Management seems to to talk the talk on safety and DOT regulations but they don't walk the walk. They don't seem to promote managers/supervisors from the dock or driver force. Time off is nearly impossible!
