Pros

Flexible schedules that fit your needs. New equipment.

Cons

Micro-management. Will railroad you out the door over minor safety issues without warning. The pay is well below industry standard. No overtime at all, just a $100 bonus for working a 6th day. No advancement opportunities, they'll keep you in the truck and hire incompetent people to manage you. No PTO for the 1st year.

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.
