Pros

Used to be pay, but that's not the case anymore

Cons

Where to begin. As long as you're from NE and all about falling in line, you're good. 12 and 2 schedule only way to make money. Trucks are crap. Loads are crap. Zero consistency with mileage. Dispatch punishes you if take hometime or breakdown. Shop maintence is a joke. Something that should take a few hrs to fix takes days and they refuse to get you a hotel room. If you live on the westcoast it's a forced 45 days out, and they will refuse to get you home when scheduled. In 2 yrs haven't been home for a single holiday. Constantly stranded out in the middle of nowhere because there's "no frieght". Always have the bullsht excuses as to why you're just sitting around. If your pay raises, your miles drop by damn near half. Zero communication on their end. Regardless of how much you contact dispatch, fleet managers, etc, never hear a damn thing. They act like its the greatest gift ever to work for them. Bunch of morons. Loads are constantly mis scheduled and missing info. I could go on. DON'T WORK FOR THIS COMPANY. They just had 30+ drivers quit on them in the last month. That should tell you something.

Pros

Brand new tractors freightliners, good shops, good home terminals.. well built trailers but some have abs light on

Cons

a lot of people complain about their miles getting played with when they are getting close to the bonus in the terms of miles.. dispatch can be petty but that’s a trucking thing.. the opti idle affects your sleep.. getting home sometimes is tricky.. a lot of time spent looking for empty trailers.. false load information given to drivers all the time a lot of folks complain about that as well
