Pros

Home time when it's needed. Stable, debt free, honest, understanding, etc. Dispatch is great and understands how you like to run. The entire company feels like one big family no matter what terminal you may visit. From shop to VP everyone is always happy to see you and their for you when ya need them. Equipment is top notch and when I have had something break, it's fixed ASAP.

Cons

Benefits are a little expensive, yet still affordable, when compared to other companies, but quality of life outweighs this con by far. Other companies pay more, but again they do not treat you as well as TWT.

Pros

gave me the year I needed to move along

Cons

the truck was fairly new, mechanic played favorites with equipment so never could make tracks to make any money; insurance cost an arm, leg and liver and we will be paying the hospitals forever; clerical staff must be having fun because they cannot get peoples paperwork done so you get paid for what you do... I worked hard too but don't consider myself above others... just wanted HoNest days pay for my honest long day!

Pros

Herman, He keeps the trucks in good shape and always available for some witty advice.

Cons

DAK of Americas. $ 22.00 to load a trailer. $ 15.15 per hour after first two hours. 14 hour work days. At TWT you work 14 hour days 6 days per week. Load two trailers before you leave. Usually 7 hours of work before you start driving. 70 hours per week given to TWT. Pay certainly does not reflect 70 hours of work. Insurance is very expensive. Cannot afford to have insurance while working at TWT. The sleeping assistant mechanic. Tough pill to swallow while you required to work so hard. Safety department. They like to take your safety bonus money. Safety man has never driven a truck and knows it all! Likes to take working mans money. Cannot get more then 34 hours per week off. Work every weekend Time off very difficult to get because they cannot keep drivers. Dispatch- enough said
