Pros

Fairish pay (decent second company) Must stay with company 6 months or they charge you transportation and hotel you had during orientation (~$400) OTR is 54 cent plus 8 cent priemium pay as Carrot to chase (don't be late and do everything correct)

Cons

Reefer industry sucks. Very few drop and hooks. Scan in all you paperwork. Spend 5+ hours getting loaded or unloaded and you have to get you trailers washed out, remember to fuel the trailer before you deliver or receiver will refuse you, and pre cool you trailer. Dry van is way less hassle.. I spent 5.5 hours at a shipper and got $30 detention pay. $6 per hour Have to fight to get paid correctly

Pros

flexible WFH as needs arose, available overtime

Cons

Uninvolved leadership that didn't much care about people more than directly below them, went my entire stay never having talked to the person technically in charge of a department in was in for 2+ years, lack of team structures to handle busy work periods, or even adequately cover in the event people were out or had emergencies
