Pros

Newer equipment. Pay is decent on some accounts.

Cons

There's no bonuses, raises, or anything. This is a company that wants to preach safety but doesn't wanna spend any money to ensure it. Their "care" for the drivers is just for show. Trucks governed at 65. Driver facing Cameras, as I've experienced this isn't "for safety" it's for reprimanding. It's a Global Company that isn't gonna do anything that eats into profits. Don't expect much home time, even on the mon-fri dedicated accounts.
