Pros

Full health benefits, lots of work, good pay, but lowest pay on average for line haul drivers compaired to other line haul companies. Starting pay for me was .59 cents per mile. I worked their 3 years and it went up to .60 cents per mile. They will work you a lot. Can make up to $2,000.00 a week gross. I averaged $1,400.00 take home pay a week. To make that you will have to work a lot. The will keep you out and you will use up your 70 hour work week and you will be home for your reset. They will put you in a room for each night you are away from home. No sleeping in trucks, all day cab trucks. They do run teams in certain cities.

Cons

Long hours. They will try and cheat you out of extra pay for wait times, hooking up a set of doubles. I had to always fight for my extra pay. I you don't you will not make any good paychecks. The extra pay is were you make the good paychecks.
