Zero Pros
Cons
Inconsistent work, misleading pay, unreliable equipment, poor communication
Current Employee - Dec 13, 2020
Pros
Weekly pay, keep you running and making money, communicates next load in advance, home every weekend, staff all demonstrate courtesy and professionalism, newer clean equipment and drop and hook runs.
Cons
Orientation lacks covering workflow processes leaving many questions just starting out. Recruiters do not know the operations and processes firsthand which creates misunderstandings. (ie: $1250 guarantee is average of two weeks, Fueling at Love's; not most truck stops, benefits start at varying times; not 90 days, choice of transmission; mostly manual 10 speeds with new trucks being mostly automatic) Terminal does not have showers.

I worked for Brown of Lithonia. My gig was a dedicated run out of the Rock Tenn plant in Stevenson, AL. Started out with a 800 a week guarantee that disappeared. Then the mile went to crap and couldn't make it on 4-500 a week so I left. They aren't horrible, some trucks are good others are garbage. I think you need 3 years experience to get on with them. In their defence the route I had was set up all wrong and after our dispatcher quit it went to hell anyway. I miss being home every night but I don't miss brown. All I pulled was roll stock and scrap cardboard with the occasional load of boxes. boxes were light the rest would top you out all the time.

I worked for them as a Local guy out of the Rock Tenn plant in Stevenson, AL as a company driver. They started out with a guarantee that went away after 2 months and then the miles were so low that I had to quit. Your loads are mostly going to be roll stock, scrap cardboard, or corrugated boxes. Most of the time you are going to be heavy, and a lot of the time you are going to be top heavy. When I was there a year ago they were having a hard time keeping any kind of driver. As far as Im concerned the pay was too low for anyone to make a decent living. Your results may vary though.
