Pros

Good facility, many good helpful drivers, Many helpful events, ie fundraisers, dinners, BBQ cookouts, truck shows. seminars, ( all at the cost of the drivers of course) A lot of good friendly in house staff ( not all ). Top notch safety expectations & safety staff with a few exceptions in inspection locations. No forced dispatch. complete O/O, Fast pay.

Cons

Some planners are rude and only there to collect a paycheck, play favorites, back door load deals between planners, agents and drivers, by giving loads no one ever sees or is ever placed on the load board to drivers not even empty yet while others sit empty for days. . Not on a fair playing field. Loads being offered to drivers not even empty yet but because they have a big house & special they get the cream of the crop top paying loads NOONE ever even sees. ALOT OF SITTING. cheap load rates. Claim to have no dedicated loads TO DEDICATED DRIVERS ONLY and all loads are available as a first in first out to every driver but that's a bunch of BS. A lot of greedy agents that cut the rates to put more money in their pockets. VERY POOR IN HOUSE CONMUICATION.

Pros

People Support Pay Benefits Work From home on occasion

Cons

Changes to bonus, made it almost impossible to reach, this effected pay significantly. From hitting bonuses each month to hardly very rarely reaching. Drivers & Agents complaints effected you as a person. There word against yours always and caused burn out always getting questioned and defending why choices were made. From free hour lunch, changed to working lunches with drivers.
