Pros

Day shift, home daily, good pay, top rate is $24.50, decent 401k + small pension, 2 health options, one very expensive, one cheap but with very high deductible.

Cons

micro managed by people in an office on the other side of the country who have no idea about freight or routing, drivers are treated like expendable pieces of equipment, in the slow season, up to %20 of drivers told to stay home for lack of work. Quality of work doesn't matter, only seniority. Generally you are treated like a piece of meat to be used up and discarded at will. I've been here 6 years, doubt I'll make it to retirement. %10 of drivers out on comp at any time, blown back, knees etc. Equipment maintenance passable, lots of older tractors though, not as good as you might expect.

Pros

Pay is decent enough for the back breaking work that you have to do on the dock. Most of the longer runs do not require dock work. Are in the process of buying new equipment..ie tractors, fork trucks, dollies and trailers.

Cons

Over the last several years Fedex Freight has rerouted freight to run it on rail lines thus saving money. It did away with a lot of road runs forcing people to either starve to death or quit to find another job. As a new hire most with have to start in the city and then go to the road if their is an opening. There is NO job security with this company. If they can out source moving the freight with another company then a lot of people who have been there for over 17 years will lose their jobs. They transport more of their freight on truck load carriers than they do with their own equipment. The benefits are pitiful. We get a mearger raise and then they jack the health insurance up on us time and time again. The moral is so bad in a lot of places that a lot of people have just started working for the pay check and that is it. They don't go out of their way to fix the problems because management doesn't care what they have to say. They are the most politically correct company I have ever worked for.
