Pros

Hire new drivers. Great training. CPM is decent. Big company with lots of terminals. Fuel card. Direct Deposit. Weekly pay. Passengers allowed after 6 months of safe driving. Company car to use when at a terminal (one hour max).

Cons

Inconsistent miles. Dispatch doesn't care about drivers. Treat drivers like they have no brains & that they're less than human. Dispatch is impossible to get a hold of because they have too many drivers on their board & quit due to the stress. Takes over 30 minutes to contact dispatch by phone (if you're lucky). They never respond to Qualcomm messages unless its about being late to a customer. Dirty trucks that constantly break down. They only do repairs if they have to not when they need to. Comfort of drivers comes last, squeezing every penny from them comes first. No APU. No inverters. No pets of any kind allowed. Sit for days waiting for an assignment because there are so many other drivers waiting too. Company drivers are last to get work and usually get jobs nobody wants. No minimum paychecks. If you're broke down & near home, they rather send you home with no pay instead of putting you in a hotel & paying breakdown pay. If you're broke down near a terminal, they will put you in an empty truck to sleep in instead of spending the money on a hotel.

Pros

Health benefits are decent but no time to use them.

Cons

They don’t take care of their trucks and when they break down and you’re at home they take their time trying to figure out what’s wrong so they don’t have to pay you. I’ve now gone a week without pay because they refused to look at a problem that I brought to their attention with the truck for weeks and now that I’m home and took it to a local place I don’t get pay and now my family has to suffer.
