Awesome equipment, all Pete's, all 18 speeds, and nearly all glider kits. Experienced mechanics take care of them regularly, and the shop manager will walk you through small problems over the phone if you're not sure how to fix something small. Family owned company with an extremely friendly and understanding owner. Dispatch is, for the most part, understanding and will get you home if you want to be home. Trailers are okay, some of them have paid for themselves years ago and need to be retired, but they still get the job done. Variety of work!! I started on tanker, then dry bulk, then dry van, now flatbed. Always something new and interesting. They have never been short on work since I've been there (July 2019). Pay is fair, package (van/flatbed) is $.50 mile loaded, $.32 empty, however they are very good about keeping you loaded. Bulk is $.45 loaded, $.40 empty. Anything under 250 miles one way is $20/hour, along with load, unload, tarping, ect... benefits are incredible, UPMC health plan, 100% paid by the company for your entire family.
Bottom line, they're a family owned company with a solid reputation, they care about their drivers, pay decent, have good we'll maintained equipment, and pay all of your health insurance. I have been happy here for a year and a half.
Pros
Health care is 100% paid by employer, nice equipment, nice staff, home every weekend unless you don't want to be
Cons
Dispatch can be aggravating at time, but that will happen anywhere you go
