Huge waste of my time!

Pros

There were no pros for me.

Cons

I was sold a dream that if I worked hard & did well, I would be hired on full time within a month. Then I was discriminated against & kept on as a casual driver, being treated like a door matt & used as a floater or given the crappy runs that senior drivers didn’t want. Very poorly managed & their equipment is extremely raggedy & unsafe. Now I know why companies hate Unions. It breeds laziness, kills productivity, & ruins companies.

Pros

Medical insurance is paid for.

Cons

Favoritism by supervisors leads to inequity in the loads given out to dock workers. Some consistently get the "gravy" trailers, while others see nothing but bulk or high volume loads. They complain about bill count per employee, but don't distribute good loads equally with the bad.
