Pros

The 2 weeks of training as part of the hiring process in PA was pretty good, and I think sets a decent foundation for tractor trailer driving. They did use a lot of scare tactics and were very strict about cell phone use, which is probably good for new drivers. Food was bad, and double occupancy was ok if you have a good roommate.

Cons

Working conditions and preparation for new drivers in my actual work location in NY was not great. Including the lackluster manager (who has never even driven a truck?!) and who couldn't care less. The overall company felt like a high turnover conveyor belt for new employees as they do not invest in keeping good drivers and continually train and churn out new drivers. Lack of care for trucks, and overall uncaring environment. Budget cuts for drivers, equipment and no on site mechanics yet managers and upper level seems to enjoy more benefits and comforts. Get some training and then get out as soon as you can!
