Pros

There are no pros here unless you're satisfied doing between 1500 2000 miles a week. Supposedly was one of their top drivers and made no money. Matter of fact put me in debt with child support and other personal bills. I do not recommend this job to anyone. I've worked here for 2 1/2 yrs and I sat more than I drove. And when you drove it was a crappy runs with up to 3 days to run.

Cons

If you have any incidents absolutely not your fault by police authority, they will find a way to make it a preventable even tho you had no out in the situation. Trust me I know!! I've been threw it. Then they send a letter with every employee who had an accident with amounts and brief discription on what happen. And try to belittle you with a written paragraph. Trust I have it on hand and can prove it. And if you get terminated they leave you stranded. Or if you made enough money they get you a greyhound on your dime. Not worth working for these guys.

Pros

Good office camaraderie, regular PTO available for long term employees if you stay there long enough, good overall structure in place to deal with most common trucking company/industry issues.

Cons

Management has a tendency to nitpick issues. Everything is goal and growth oriented as a public company so you're always expected to do more with less. During the current trucking market they keep looking for new ways to trim the fat. This was the first year they didn't provide company calendars to employees, and got rid of the yearly floating PTO day as well. 401k contributions also diminished. There were also blatant sexist/transphobic/homophobic remarks made nearly daily and nothing was ever done about it.
