Pros

Nothing. This place tries to work you to death. No set routes. Management are nut jobs with no leadership skills or abilities. Constantly touching freight unnecessarily due to terrible zoning of product. If you like driving crappy equipment, this place is for you. Get ready to get stopped by DOT frequently because of this companies reputation. Just don’t waste your time.

Cons

Everything. This place tries to work you to death. This is not a Truck Driver... This job tries to kill you. Get ready to have back surgery and your knees replaced. Don’t worry, Sysco will pay for it.

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.
