Pros
Nothing except you can go home when you want because you're a owner operator.
Cons
Bad agents within the company, bad dispatchers, bad settlement department, just horrible company.

I started with this company in the container division ran two containers and after that ran power only loads off the load board. The agent didn't communicate properly and kept me in the blind first week was the only week I made any money as a owner operator with this company. The other weeks I made company driver money everything less than $1,000. Next I went to the other agent within the company running dry van. First week with that agent I also sat until Friday didn't make any money rest of the weeks I still made less than $1000 which lead me to have to give up my truck because I was making payments and couldn't make enough money from the company to afford my truck note. Didn't even get my last check because they ran me ragged for cheap loads close to 1000 miles. So it got used up in fuel and was in the negative when I got my settlement. Greatwide is not a good company and as a owner operator they'll tell you that you have to run across country to make any money with them. They take 25% and dispatch will try to push you to run in inclement weather. Recruiting will lie to you and sell dreams, don't believe it. They run off the load board like Uber freight and other load boards that regular small companies use, the bottom of the barrel loads. I ran close to 3000 miles and still didn't see a paycheck. STAY AWAY!! Fair warning!!
