      Pros

      If you're desperate and or uneducated this is the company for you. I don't think they require a GED If you need quick cash work for a month and quit.

      Cons

      This is the most unsafe place I've ever worked. I would wager almost everyone here has been injured. I met 6+ on light duty some with life altering injuries. The pay is a lie and considered "Chinese" pay to confuse you. I still have no idea how I was paid. They set you up to fail then dip your hourly because you took too long due to their incompetence The hours were horrible. Start at 3-6 get up around 1-2am. The work is enough for 2 guys and they will expect you to do it alone. Regular 14-16 hour days. Horrible vacation and time off. Plan on being tired all the time and having to get in bed . Literally 1920 working conditions I would or worse. Their customers are a range of places usually a semi is not made for. They don't care they'll load you a large trailer and have you risk YOUR CDL. They have so many chiefs I've never seen a place so top heavy on management. It's hilarious really. You come talk to them and they're like "yeah I worked the truck for 3-4 years" now they're somehow in management likely without any education and because the work they were doing in the field was unsurvivable.

      Pros

      You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

      Cons

      Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
