Pros
The Best Terminal, dispatch & warehouse managers in the game... PERIOD! I am treated as a valued employee and not just a number... As stated in the 85 Year History of Pyle hardback book, "Its the Country Club of LTL." 8 Months and I earned a spot in our current TDA Driving Academy in Mass while earning my normal rate and being trained by the best facilitators in the business for my CDL w/ full endorsements. That is unheard of without signing your life and paycheck away for a couple years to most companies... Top Brass are always visiting our almost 50 terminals in rotation and remember your face, if not your name... I don't plan on peddling freight forever, but I have always been intrigued by supply chain logistics & fulfillment since before Amazon even existed. These guys do it all! Mix that in with a passion for mapping & algorithms and I plan on writing my own ticket to be the first driver liaison to be on the front lines to our C-Suite officers and be out in the field alongside software integrators when were are first fielding autonomous driving fleet software..... With hard work and dedication, I am confident I made the best decision of my adult life when I sold my business and decided to choose this company, A.DuiePyle to retire at 25 years from now....
Cons
I honestly can't think of a single negative. My hours are amazing and to my liking. Being self employed my entire life, I have never had benefits and matching 401k. Bonus for referring drivers were a great surprise. Possibly the only negative I can think of is knowing myself and other drivers pull something now & them because of 2500/3000 pallets. It would be nice if we had the option to pay a lease of $50 a month out of our paychecks for our own motorized pallet jack ($750/$800ea container cost imported) and that would really save on actual time of taking a 1klbs pallet up a city block as well as cut out injuries of hernia, but that seems to be more for ES Straight Truck Drivers than actual LTL CDL or Linehaul positions and this review is not geared towards that position anyways. I encourage anyone reading this review, in waffling to apply for a position at Pyle, to sharpen your pencil and know that your can start your way into a new career that has the potential of earning six figures in no time at all.... Anyone that has the chance to be interviewed and looking to further their lifestyle for the future, it would be an unfortunate mistake to pass on this company....
