Good: they are a second chance company.
Bad: expect to be bombarded with "up to" 4 preplans in one day, 2 are back to back. Also, they expect all drivers to stay up in the neighborhood of 24 hours, from delivery to pick up to delivery. The load planners aren't even close to doing their jobs correctly.
If you walk into this company with a minimum of 2 years experience with 1 company, they expect you go out with a trainer.
Stay clear of this company, unless you are in dire need of a job.

Called HOS, and a driver has the right to stay within the regulations. A Company cannot force a driver to run Illegal..
What are the differences between harassment and coercion?
A motor carrier can only be found to have committed harassment if the driver commits a specified underlying hours of service (HOS) violation based on the carrier’s actions and there is a connection to the electronic logging device (ELD). Adverse action against the driver is not required, because the driver complied with the carrier’s instructions. In contrast, coercion is much broader in terms of entities covered, and addresses the threat to withhold work from or take adverse employment action against a driver in order to induce the driver to violate a broader range of regulatory provisions or to take adverse action to punish a driver for the driver’s refusal to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in violation of the specified regulations. Unlike harassment, coercion does not have to result in the driver being in violation of the regulations and does not have to involve the use of an ELD.
Where should a driver file a harassment complaint?
The driver’s must file a written complaint with the National Consumer Complaint Database at http://nccdb.fmcsa.dot.gov or with the FMCSA Division Administrator for the State where the driver is employed (http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/mission/field-offices).Prof.Gringo, roadtrucker81, mattymatt and 6 others Thank this. -
