Great pay and benefits but lacks work-life balance

Road driver

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is best in the business. $100,000+ first year as a road driver. Year two I made $107,000… and took two months off for cancer surgery. Year three I made $129,000. I average 2-3 nights per week in a hotel. Usually only 1 night out then back home the next day. Frequently running turns (home at end of the run). Insurance is free and EXCELLENT coverage. I paid $1,000 total out-of-pocket for cancer surgery.

Cons

Not much life/work balance. Frustrating spending time on the extra board waiting to get a call to go to work, but with more seniority you get less wait time.

Pros

The dock workers and drivers are more than willing to teach you if you are willing to listen Pay is very good!

Cons

Don’t deny a move to another service center. If you get offers and deny too many times they will black ball you and you have to wait for a position to open at your service center
