Pros

The pay is ok if drivers don't mind transporting freight to the Northeastern corridor on a regular basis.

Cons

I can only speak about the way I was treated while employed with this company. Most of the dispatchers that I worked for in this company were the most rudest and disrespectful that I have worked with in my 13 years in the trucking industry. There is just an overall climate of disrespect. I got the feeling that the dispatchers and management felt as though all truck drivers were not truthful. That's an hard environment to work in.

Pros

Home Time Is Reliable ,Easy Work (No-Touch Freight).

Cons

There is no overtime pay, and the benefits package is limited. Drivers are often required to work 60–70 hours per week at straight time. Routes are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so there is little predictability—you typically don’t know your route until the start of your shift. The equipment is equipped with radar-based safety systems, including speed control and automatic emergency braking, which can be restrictive and take time to adjust to, contributing to a more stressful driving experience.
