Pros
The account I was on received brand new Volvo daycabs in the end of 2016, so that was nice. And there was plenty of work to do on my particular dedicated account, so that was a benefit for the paycheck.
Kontras
There was so much work to do that we were working 12-14 hours a day, Mon-Fri, and were starting to be forced into mandatory Saturdays as well. I ended up leaving after a year and a half because all I was doing with my life was getting up at 2:00-3:00am to go to work, come home at 5:00-6:00, kiss my wife, go to bed, and do it all over again. I had no life, my wife never saw me except on weekends, and it took all weekend to depressurize from the stress of the work week. Drivers were treated as nothing but a well of available hours to draw from as needed, and the HOS regulations were viewed as a sort of moral imperative - if the reg's said that drivers CAN work 14 hours a day, then drivers MUST work 14 hours a day. Every. Day. Upper management was a disappointment. I voiced concerns, and they were ignored. I sent my resume as requested (due to my administrative experience), and I was never spoken to again. Upper management was tone deaf and inaccessible when you needed them.
