Pros

Good Pay and benefits you can always make extra money on the weekends. I've met a lot of awesome people. I've always had a new truck and they are getting modern slowly. The shop at the terminal is great.

Cons

I noticed that after Roby passed and they bought out GI everything changed. They used to care about their people and listened to them now your just a number .management lies to you with a smile. There isn't any communication between anybody. The terminals all try to screw each other as much as possible. The single axels are always overweight parts take forever to get from Richmond they say drivers rest and health is important yet they make their schedule drivers sleep in bunk house at the terminal which is impossible to get uninterrupted sleep. They have 4 different pay rates for the same work. Moral is horrible because the lazy drivers are treated better than a hard working drivers. And it's getting any better. I got 4 years left i hope I can make it.

Pros

decent pay for a truck driver. that's about it

Cons

Most everything I quit in October because of management.Dock operations are another major problem. Freight is frequently loaded poorly, which leads to damaged shipments and puts drivers in difficult situations with customers. Drivers are expected to represent the company professionally, but they are often set up to fail due to preventable mistakes made during loading. the dispatchers send you all over the place wasting gas but god forbid you turn on the AC when doing bills oh no you have to sweat to death! and I have personally heard dispatchers tell another driver "too bad your easily replaceable" nice huh?
