Pros

I have been an employee for 24 years. I was able to work my way up in the company to a Safety Director position. It wasn't easy - being smart, dedicated and productive is necessary and it should be. All these reviews about how bad the company is - comes from a person who didn't want to work but collect a paycheck. A person who didn't give the company a chance to correct an error or mis communication. No one at this company has an "office" - from the President down everyone has a cubicle - total open door policy. There's been a lot of changes over the years - management can only fix a problem if given the opportunity. There's no crying/whining in trucking

Cons

I don't have any and that's because I'm a hard worker who's been recognized. This opportunity is there for anyone if they want to work and apply themselves.

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.
