Pros

Bi weekly pay. Solid dispatcher. Only one that truly cares for its operators. Weekends off. Start time. 0300 hrs to 1700 hours. If you’d want hours to work. Peterbilts 379 are used. Sweet ride. Get experience in operating equipment. Operators are awesome and will help you out when asked of them. Mechanics and management mechanics are awesome too. Will help if asked for sure. Benefits are a plus. Not working weekends are amazing. Life with kids and wives. Can’t complain. On the weekends. Sweet gig to work at times. Some cool customers will have a good conversation with you.

Cons

Management sucks. Definitely empty promises throughout the ranks of Sunbelt employees and managers. Salesmen and women don’t care for its operators. Pay should be more for what the operators are putting in every day. Old trailers. Management and salesmen will over load their dispatch and ops everyday. Terminals are small. Need more space. If you are starting early in the morning, you should be not working past 1500 hours. Anything through that hour. Is very exhausting. If you are loaded. Then are ordered to reload is a pain. Because of lost time. Management will be down your neck about times. Customers will be horrible to you. Once you are an operator/driver. You’ve reached the top. No more rising through the ranks. If operators would like a change then there could be an option for them.

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
