Pros

Always work, okay pay for no experience. If you do decide, get everything you want in writing. Newer trucks

Cons

They make you illegally run your clock to make your run work. They will fix your logs so you have more time. There is no communication. Don't expect to get paid properly. You are just a number, they look out for themselves. Your pto? Probably will get asked many times to cancel it or last minute deny it. Management changes every few months, drivers come and go. Trailers for otr/hub/linehaul drivers are usually broken and need repair before hitting the road. They will use and abuse you. Always hiring for a reason. This location also punishes you for "speed violations". Anything over the speed limit, including 1 over goes against your monthly bonus. The trucks have throttle limiters so you cannot go over the posted speed limit. If you go down a hill and hit 5 over you automatically lose your monthly bonus ($500). Expect no life outside of Fastenal.
