Pros

Time off was great they are some what family oriented . They would work with you for that . Benefits are good a little high for what they used to be per every two weeks . Dispatcher was nice to work with but he's in the loop only negative

Cons

They expect u to work for low wages for Class A work for flat bed . They are very to faced people they want you to be loyal to them but unless its making them money the word loyal goes out the window . The new mechanics they have recently hired are throwing the drivers under the bus like they are our baby sitters . The company is good but they think that u can live off of 17$ an hr when our competitors are making 20-22 an hr . No one is perfect but its funny how they can be nice to your face but then turn on you in a heart beat. They have another driver that comes in is still buzzed from the night before and puts his work off on other drivers and nothing is done because if ur not in their click ur no good for them . They are more concerned about covering their butts and being cheap they sling equipment out the door and they wont spend the money to fix because its not in their budget which is bull . Ive been a driver for 4 years and not no more just a waste .If u want a great paying job find somewhere else its not gonna happen unless u have been making that kind of money at ur last job and u are over 40

Pros

It's a job, nothing more, nothing less. The only perk is you got to use. the equipment for personal use, but if upper management knew that, I am sure it would change.

Cons

The pay stucture is horrible, especially for the counter staff an Dispatchers who do the lion's share of the work with no recognition and no opportunity for advancement. If you like being screamed and cussed at and being called vulgar by a PCM (Branch Manager) for no reason and by someone who has absolutely no clue what is going on, then this may be the job for you! (and yes, I have the texts to prove it) Just make sure you do not count on the profit sharing bonuses that are promised to you, they will find a way to always get out of paying them. The working environment is far less than desireable. Also good luck with the racoon infestation and fease that you will have to endure because the PCM refuses to do anything about it! We had raccoons running overhead on our ceiling tiles where they could fall through at anytime, and often did. Ceiling tiles above the breakroom table were missing due to raccoons falling from there. Yum Yum, who would want to be forced to eat under that (nothing like a little raccoon dung to spice up that sandwitch!). AND YES, I have the pictures to prove it! Safety takes a back seat to everything, even though the company will tell you it does not! I could write a book on all the unsafe practices that the PCM let slide by, some of which are very illegal! But hey, don't worry, you will not have to deal with safety problems very long, because if you bring attention to the issues, you will no longer have a job!.
