Pros

company pays our insurance premium, great for a family guy/gal. Union will fight for your job if they wrongfully fire you! They pay for fueling/wait time/break downs or repairs. you'll make around $60k your first year.

Cons

Seniority rules everything around you. So you won't get to many single man runs. mostly sleeper team runs.
