Avantages
Treated as an adult. Never had anyone micromanaging me in the least. They are always respectful to me. The company has great potential but upper management just can't seem to get it together.
Inconvénients
Dead head miles. You may take a load to Portland and drive empty, with no pay, back to Atlanta or Hanceville. The freight rates fall lower and lower. If you bring home 700 in a week you are doing well. Additional training in haz mat does not happen even though their recruiting poster lists it as a bullet point. Requesting additional training is ignored. New drivers get a general orientation of a chemical tank and are then sent out to figure the rest out on their own. Extremely dangerous practice. The company does not have a training program whereby a new driver rides with an experienced tank operator. The new driver leaves orientation and steps straight into their own truck and tank. How the company has avoided a major spill or worse is miraculous.
