      Pros

      There is not a lot to say in the PROS. The pay structure is complicated but you can make fairly good money.

      Cons

      Scheduling is poor. Truck maintenance is very poor. There is little to no respect towards drivers. They do not pay all of the vacation pay at the time of your vacation. They top up at the end of the year.
