Pros
Great pay, PTO time , management is awesome. Plenty of hours especially if you are willing to work the dock.
Cons
On-call if your a bottom man. Routes are hogged by upper drivers. No bidding on routes. Routes are built relationships over time with driver-customer interactions. No time to take lunches if your not assigned a route. Heavy favoritism towards certain individuals. Some get fired for the smallest things, others screw up all the time and are late every day but never get fired. Either become a suck up or get fired quick. Also get used to delivering and picking up impossibly shaped and heavy freight that you have to get up or off your lift gate trailer. I once had delivery a crate that was 8feet by 4 feet by 4feet to a residential. It weighed 1500 lbs. I had put a pallet jack on one side and a box dolly on the other and slowly nudge that crate from the nose to the lift gate. It took all my effort to manipulate that POS. Once you get it to the lift the battle is only halfway over. You then have to dangle it off the lift gate and man handle it onto the ground. Get used to this if your at the bottom of divers.
