Pros
Nice trucks, weekly pay, diversity in the company, friendly staff, possible ability to move to other positions but not sure since i had only one position so far, security of an industry leader, freedom of being on the road but that is tapered somewhat but alot of oversight that is improperly placed like smartdrive, which points out errors to prevent safety bonus but those errors are incorrect because the camera doesnt read everything and also those types of errors rarely lead to accidents like slowing to 2-5 mph instead of complete stop at a stop sign at 12:30 am non busy intersection, stopping several feet before the stop sign to allow the intersection to clear instead of pulling up to block the whole intersection and create a jam, etc
Cons
Offered alot when hired but never received. No holiday pay, no vacation pay, minimal sick time pay, no layover pay, no detention pay, no breakdown pay. Make sure you get everything in writing. Spend on average two to four hours per week unpaid transporting their equipment to receive repairs, waiting for repairs to be completed, or waiting for someone to arrive to complete repairs. They only paid the mileage to transport but not for wait time. Promise breakdown pay when hired but when my truck broke down instead of breakdown pay they offered me to slip seat into another make and model of truck that was unfamiliar to me and someone else's dirt was in the truck (also they allow pets so beware fleas and ticks). The armrest was broken and the highbeam lights didnt work maybe even more was wrong with it. This adds up and after all the expenses for benefits are taken out of your check, many checks are $350-$550 take home pay per week which is not too great at all considering you risk your life, your CDL, work mainly 60 hour weeks
