Pros

Good pay and lots of hours. Drivers work really well together. They are like family and do not want to see you leave

Cons

It's a revolving door for employees. Every driver hates it and only stay for the money. Management does not care about any of the drivers. To many layers of management , so you never know who to turn to for help on anything. Management will at times tell you to work beyond hours of service or drive time. The equipment is always breaking down. They have a high CSA score also. Trailers are never cleaned out so it's embarrassing to go pick up a backhaul (if the backhaul will let you pick it up). If your in a shuttle yard expect everything to be the worst especially the equipment .

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
