Pros

Newer equipment, decent benefits and friendly trainers. Initial training period was very good and was treated fairly and respectfully. Should be a good company, all the components are there. CEO seemed okay.

Cons

Inconsistency in routes, huge pay cuts with no notice, Don't seem to care about drivers schedules calling at last minute. Local terminal people do not seem to care about people. Drivers are not treated fairly and you never know what your pay was going to be. Not what we understood it to be. It really should be a good place to work as there is potential for improvement

Pros

Home Time Is Reliable ,Easy Work (No-Touch Freight).

Cons

There is no overtime pay, and the benefits package is limited. Drivers are often required to work 60–70 hours per week at straight time. Routes are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so there is little predictability—you typically don’t know your route until the start of your shift. The equipment is equipped with radar-based safety systems, including speed control and automatic emergency braking, which can be restrictive and take time to adjust to, contributing to a more stressful driving experience.
