Pros

Good pay for part time work. All your doing is loading and unloading freight on a forklift so not difficult.

Cons

No benefits for part time. Early morning hours. No chance to move up or even get full time. They play favorites alot so people that the supervisors like get more hours and better treatment.

Equipment. DFL needs to make changes to its aging and ailing truck fleet.
