If I could rate it zero, I would.
As someone who knows somebody first hand who works for this company, it's not worth it as a job. The start out pay is only 0.50cpm (you get per diem but it's basically worthless in the long run) but the runs are short and most of your money you make is going to go to insurance (health, dental, vision).
Management is a joke, layover/breakdown is a joke, stop off pay is a joke. The truck is constantly breaking down and they refuse to acknowledge that it needs to be put in the shop. They take $50 out of every check for driver escrow but you end up paying out if anything goes wrong on your truck anyway (he had to pay out $100 every week for 4wks because of a bent rim on a steer tire even though escrow was supposed to cover that).
Resets- don't know what they are? If you have recaps your running on those and those alone (even if you don't have much time on your recaps, you run until you legally cannot run anymore and only then can you do a 34hr reset). If you need to do ANYTHING regarding going to the store or something you have to have it approved before hand (cant just put it in that your running to the store on PC cuz it's against protocol apparently).
Advances/Loans- If you need to take an advance or a loan of any sort (which he had to do almost bi weekly because he wasn't making enough money for basic living expense), don't expect to have it taken out of your checks in installments, they'll take it all at once even if you don't end up making that much money. (Had to take a loan because he only made like $200 after taxes, (insurance, escrow, etc.) and he had bills due and they took the full loan amount out of his next check so he ended up only making $300 on the next check even though they had said they would take it in installments, so he was screwed over 2wks in a row with not making enough money). Also the paperwork you have to fill out for an emergency loan is very vague and has to be signed off on by like 12 people before it's approved.
On the topic of management- if you have any questions or concerns don't bother reaching out to your DM or the company about it because they won't do anything. They'll say they're working on it/will get right to it, but they won't. It's all talk. They know that the pay isn't good and they know that people have issues with things regarding their trucks breaking down/layover pay/stop offs. They do not care. YOU'RE JUST A NUMBER TO THEM, that's it.
Toll Roads- they REFUSE to pay toll roads, so you have to find alternative routes to avoid them at all costs, (Even though they have EZ Passes in the trucks) despite the fact that sometimes to get where they want you to go, the only option is going through a toll... doesn't matter to them, find another way DO NOT GO THROUGH TOLL ROADS EVER THEY DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO PAY THEM AT ALL. read more
