Pros
I really did not experience any in the short time I was there.
Cons
Lying liars that lie straight to your face with a smile. Orientation in Nashville was a bummer. Peoplenet (QUALCOMM) is limited. There is no communication with Peoplenet. You want to talk to your dispatcher? Use your cellphone only. Then there is no history of what ever concern you had and required some type of guidance. Type a msg in Peoplenet is like shouting down a well. The staff at orientation are very professional and thorough. You would expect the company as a whole would be professional and thorough, HELL NO. All they care about is fuel mileage. 8.5 mpg is the minimum rate to be achieved. Your time is not important, creep down the road, don't accelerate too quickly, that fuel mileage is the only thing to be concerned. Even the truck FM radio shuts off after an hour or something. Drive down the road, the radio shuts off, WTF. If you got a 34 hour restart in a truck stop, your environmental system last 10 hours (get a hotel or sweat). Do not idle the truck. Do not vary from route. You have to follow their route. Every truck has the same key. You can not store anything in your truck of value. Some guy with a MVT key can access your truck while you are in the truckstop. There is not even a way to run the seatbelt through the handrest to secure the doors when you sleep at night. Hotseat trucks. OTR drivers, park your truck for two days, take everything out of it. Someone may come by and take your truck. There is an OTR driver there that does the road test with you. Everything he says is the company line. Ask him a question is like asking the owner of the company a question. The company line is the answer. I had to buy a return plane ticket and pay cabfare to get the hell out of there after one day. Day one as a driver, lying, no comms with dispatch at the Nashville Termina or El Paso. Imagine what it would be like with a real problem in the middle of nowhere.
