Pros

Sure, they’re all about safety and pay you to shut down in bad weather, and you’re always guaranteed some kind of detention pay

Cons

They have zero tolerance for mistakes of any kind, they view you as a number, not a person, they don’t listen to anyone questions or concerns you may have regarding your work, they accuse you of lying when you’re being straight up honest with them, they micromanage and scrutinize the living daylights out of you if even one thing is off/amiss, they will fire you at the drop of a hat without a second thought, they’ll garnish your wages to cover expenses that the company is supposed to pay for, ETC.

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.
