Pros

Able to help those in need ( Customers)

Cons

24-7 Operation, Days off vary from 1 to 2 days off. No training structure for Management. Drivers are expendable.Old school way of thinking, terminate, lead by fear for results. Every quarter terminal employees are terminated to reduce Terminal cost. Yearly Fortcast is not shared with Terminal Management to avoid going over budget. It is is shared its shared at the last minute, No planning a " year in advance" to eliminate a decrease in moral with terminal employees and drivers. Stellar Training is a joke, On hand training all training is a paper job for corporate and OSHA and DOT auditors. Corporate does not plan for enough equipment leaving irate customers and employees. Christmas M.Watkins Senior Vice President was at the New York Terminal to assist with the crowd. But we were short equipment (Buses). I asked why are we short he stated to the Operations Manager (me) I don't know. Company has not garbage to clean incoming schedules properly

Pros

You will receive 9 hrs for rest time (unless there’s an issue) which is beneficial when over the road.

Cons

Payroll discrepancies will burden your time. It’s imperative to check your pay DAILY and submit claims immediately else your upcoming paycheck will be wrong. Do not expect management to help. You’ll rely on older drivers for input on and off the road. Runs are supposed to be assigned the day before and this is not reality. Expect late / early calls with misinformation. Mgmt will not honor your vacation block schedule (Mon 12:01 thru Sun 6am PTO week) and contact you for assignment. They will interrupt your vacation week in hopes you’ll take an assignment. Guaranteed days off are also a cause of friction. When your GDO approaches they will try to assign work then claim you forfeited the day off and need to continue in service. “Based off the needs of the operation” is their blanket excuse. You have to reach out to union rep and push back. If you report Fatigued more than once they will write you up. And this is after denying your guaranteed days off. Training is fast tracked and once OTR you’ll realize how much information was withheld. Especially during breakdowns or passenger escalation.
