      Pros

      * NO INTERVIEW! Pass the background, drug, and medical requirements. Then ... * Paid training toward CDL-B (Commercial Driver License, Class B). * Pay is OK for what it is. Good for "extra earnings" or "back-stop" job. * There's always work. Can be full-time by adding charter routes, becoming a trainer, etc. * Independence. Nobody can micromanage you on the road. * Psychologically rewarding if you like kids.

      Cons

      * No benefits. But, that may change in a year or two. * Good people, but not brightest managers. They'll make errors calculating your pay hours, or forget to communicate. * Rough hours. Must get up pretty early in the morning. Split shift. * Safety requires very regimented rote memorization and drills. Not easy for some people. * Union shop. Dues don't seem well spent.
