Pros

Excellent benefits, Home every night. Somewhat of a consistent schedule. The company is slowing converting to Automatic truck's.

Cons

Neglectful Supervisors and Cheap management. Was told by supervisor to drive out of service equipment. Pick up other stranded driver's, when 30 minute break was required. Clunky 10 speed international tractor's . The Freightliner trucks they do have, have had constant engine issue's that Management refuses to address even with writing up a D.V.I.R. "ON CALL" scheduling when there's not enough work. The company asks that you wait around on your personal time and answer your phone at moments notice and report to work. Bad part is you don't get paid for being "On Call" there's no compensation.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
