Pros

Nice offices. They're getting bigger so there's more opportunities. Not often bored. They appear to promote competent people in most cases and if you do good things they get recognized. The medical benefits are decent for a trucking company. Basically if you are competent and put in your time, you can succeed. If you're looking for just a "job" and treat it that way by doing the bare minimum, you'll probably not like it here. Despite some negative reviews from drivers, upper management always speaks highly of drivers and does care. Again, if you want to work you'll succeed here. If you are one who feels like everybody is out to get you, you'll not like it.

Cons

Very low match on 401K (but at least there is one and it isn't bad). Upper management sometimes gets too involved in the details. Lots of talented people here... let them do their thing.

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.
