Pros

equipment is newer but not the best or newest in the industry

Cons

Low miles little to no home time they do not pay for DOT physicals poor treatment from dispatchers the mentality of the dispatchers os that the drivers act entitled and don’t do enough. the recruiters and Jose from HR make all kinds of bold claims and will straight up lie to your face. All of the things that use to make this company great have been discarded. Do not work for them if you live outside the Joliet, Illinois area. When you decide to leave they will not provide you any transportation home.

Pros

Salary is fair and paid weekly. Systems, technology, assets and maintenance/ shop are good. Their headquarters have a few amenities.

Cons

Planning is done last minute, too much workload, micromanagement, no raises, no advancement opportunities, walking on eggshells, drivers are pushed too hard, you are just a number. PTO is difficult to get approved. No work/ life balance. You will work 45 plus hours a week with no additional compensation. Too many responsibilities and drivers to comfortably manage. They favor foreign offices/ employees over US based workforce. They are constantly pushing for profits and not the well being of their drivers/ employees. You will be expected to work as a robot and be disciplined for the smallest of mistakes. Management and coworkers are quick to point blame and throw you under the bus. Drivers have difficulty getting miles and making it home on time. They expect you to manage 30 drivers. Claim to care about employees or drivers but run as a typical Eastern European trucking company. They exploit foreign workforce wages in Lithuania and Colombia. Benefits are expensive. If you have no other opportunities it’s worth exploring but otherwise I would stay away. High turnover rate for both drivers and dispatchers. It is difficult to take lunch/ breaks. You will be working non stop from 7am-5pm.
