Vantaggi
The trucks and trailers are well maintained.
Svantaggi
You have to wait for dispatch respond to you until past noon to start the day, trucks run governed to 63MPH, cruise control 66MPH. most loads are 35k weigh lbs and up. You barely can make per day 640 miles on cruise control. They do have the drop and hook section for local work. The OTR drivers get to do sometimes drop and hook, during the weekdays live load/unloads, every Friday you get to be back to the yard. OTR position run on recap hours, don’t know much what their breaks are out there but if you don’t ask about a 34hr reset they will keep you running recap hours even it’s a day of 3hr recaps. The drive times are mostly variable, you have to drive at night flipping your sleeping pattern or pushing it to a later time. Some instances some 360 miles load will take two to three days to get to because of the recaps running. Another things: drivers have to pay for windshield fluid when it should be provided by the company. Pay is 60 cents per mile. Per week mileage varies on 2,500 to 3,000. Their people net machine is a GPS function that at times your messages get lost on the transmission then you have to re-enter messages again. Slow pace work environment, weekend stuck doing nothing late dispatching.
