Pros

The day you quit with or without notice

Cons

You have to go to the Wyoming Labor board to get all of your paycheck. No mechanic, the trucks are broke down in Douglas and Wright, they won’t pay their bills, stiffed tire service and mechanic shops, and are extremely vindictive, especially when you quit, your paycheck/expenses will get “modified” or denied. They get your miles wrong, can’t split loads or just flat don’t give you credit for what you hauled/worked. I shouldn’t have to feel like I need a lawyer on retainer to get all of my paycheck every week. Pilot is full of Yes Men that enjoy throwing Drivers under the bus (but get upset when you quit for some reason). Pilot bought Bridger and ran off the good, successful management and kept all the Bridger Transportation big corporates that bankrupted their company three times. They’re losing work all the time. You have been warned.

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
