I have been with them just over a year, and they are a pretty #### good company to work for. The pay and benefits are nice, and I'm home everyday. Although the hours can sometimes be brutal, that is the case in most segments of trucking. Their trucks are also getting more and more restrictive/"safe". I don't enjoy fighting the truck for control sometimes, but there again unless you own your own, it is going that direction everywhere. There is also driver facing cameras, but I have found them to be very fair. If you do your job right and follow the rules, they leave you alone. The only reason I would leave, would be to get my own truck. The pay and benefits here are pretty top-notch for my area. I am sure the hours and experiences are going to be different depending on what region you are in.

 

just dont set the meter for 1500 when the compartment is 1200 like i did. the guy in the office frowned on that but considering what i did he was pretty cool about it.

 

I scullied out once, over 1 gallon... Got locked out of the rack for a week. It was at my previous employer. They couldn't really make a big deal about it, the trailer had two sets of probes. If the second set functioned, I could have plugged those in and finished loading. For some reason the functioning set sat about 4 inches lower in the compartment. Was loading 3000 into a 3100 hole. Rack shut down at 2999!
