Was treated great from the get go. Everyone from top to bottom knows my name. My dispatcher communicates with my payroll lady to make sure I get my extra pay, such as early pay and “save a load” pay. (When you swap with a slower driver to get their load delivered on time it’s “save a load”) Very lenient with home time. Some dispatchers will let you take a week and a half off depending on how long you are out at a time. No micro managing. Shop isn’t always the quickest but they are dependable. In my experience the recruiters are great. Honest and friendly. New York is optional and pays extra if you are willing to go to Hunts Point

Pros

Great miles. Great people.

Cons

None really that I can think of.

#### poor company. Staffed by ugly people some with mental issues. I'm talking about office staff and 'managers' if you can call them that. They trot out this goofy 25 yr old kid who's supposed to be our dispatcher. At first look he's an obvious underperformer and underachiever. Why do degenerates gravitate to being dispatchers? Anyway, he was caught watching a video in his cubicle when he's supposed to be calling and assisting drivers. Then when caught, he quickly covers up his phone! This was reported to Management and nothing was done! Payroll is dishonest. They don't have a Blue Beacon account, you have yo call and get an EFS code, go through a whole process at 2am when they don't answer the phone. I paid cash for THEIR washout and they tried to steal the $41. Took a month to get it back. I had to call several times.

Pros

Nothing. Fellow drivers are rude.

Cons

Everything. Shoddy trucks, bad routes, company has 95% turnover.

We drive 2016-2018 freightliners, have an awesome pet policy, any size dogs or pets! Home time is 1 day off for every week out, starting with 3weeks out mandatory. They keep trucks in great shape and treat the drivers very good!!

Pros

Pet policy, great freight- No touch, care about drivers, great equipment,

Cons

3 weeks out minimum, only 65 mph, cameras in trucks-facing in and out!
