Pros

There are only real pros if you are in a management postition they get: V.A.P Vehicle Assistance Program you have to have a pickup and can be no older than 5 years and they pay the payment. Miles Reimbursed if traveling Good Pay and salary at that

Cons

If you are not a manager everything I listed below does not apply. Low Pay for drivers especially No appreciation bo regard for your saftey Most trucks should not even legally be on the road Will have drivers do jobs that are entirely Illegal and would land the driver and company in hot water if any DPS trooper ever caught them. They take advantage of anyone that works for them that does't understand how workman comp functions and will make you take out your own PTO for on the job accidents even put one driver negative on his PTO balance beacuse he was exposed to COVID-19 on the job they made him quarantine and put him negative 80hrs on his PTO so now he owes them. The company is highly politicized, if you don't know someone and don't start sucking up to someone quick you will find out real quick that you don't matter The Company is not stable nor financially secure, They are coming out of bankruptcy and are still not able to regonize that the way they do things just does not realistically work and are unwilling to change. They will not give you a raise no matter how much more work they throw onto you, Every driver and Dispatcher and office person took a pay cut with Covid and they are laying off more and more people and our work load has only been increasing despite everything the oilfield work we had has only increased exponentially. Our drivers are forced to work 5 and 1 to keep up but hardly is there ever enough trucks up and running to accommodate everyone and they refuse to give us back our wages even tho we have been balls to the wall this whole time
