Pros

Ok place if you don't need a lot of money (avg. $500/week) or like to be home weekly. Mid-west runs keep you within a days drive of home.

Cons

Better submit your resignation in writing. I did this through a phonecall to my FMgr and follow-up over the Qualcomm before cleaning and returning my truck. Two months later I requested a copy of my DAC report and discovered they reported that I had "quit under dispatch" with is at best incorrect, and at worst a complete lie. Don't trust anyone at this company - not recruiters, not fleet managers, and not H.R.

Pros

The benefits are excellent. Health insurance premiums are low for employees. Pay is on the high side. No micromanaging in the accounting department. Employees given lots of trust. Great manager in accounting allowing immense flexibility

Cons

Upper management too spread out across the country. Sometimes seems unorganized and unstructured

Pros

Ascend seems to be trying to fix issues with newly acquired company DTS.

Cons

-High turnover in the office as well as on the road (drivers) is indicative of poor interpersonal skills and lack of accountability for upper management -Lack of training (some drivers don't get trained before 1st load); also there is often no orientation -Management is eager to blame its employees rather than actively working to fix reoccurring issues that lead to poor service. -Drivers are often given inadequate route information and less than road ready equipment
