Pros

Get to travel all over the lower 48 states/ and explore around on your off time.. I'm a competitive body builder, and been training consistently for over 6 years, and NEVER miss a workout day. and i have enough time each day to put in a 3 or 4 hour workout, by buying my own weight set and over 400Ibs of weights i keep in my truck. But pay is good.

Cons

EXTREMELY bad home time if your over the road, driver. You can be gone for usually 2 to 4 months and only get 3 to 4 days off at home (On the bright side its good if you dont like your family.) I'm also a professional skydiver and BASE jumper, and try to average 100 jumps a season. since i started the job I've only been able to put in 2 jumps, for the whole season!!! To me that's unacceptable, as i love the sky more then i do the road, and had to quite becaise of it. Also do to a sickness i had, my left eye got infected, and i went blind in it. i couldnt work for over a month and half, without getting paid, since it technically wasn't a work related injury, even though i was driving on the truck when it happened.

Pros

There aren't any pros besides them lying to you making you feel like you're the liar...

Cons

They make you feel like a liar with a false positive hair follicle test then they cut you off and don't even return any of your calls or give you a chance to prove yourself. The recruiter was really my friend until those results came in and then every time I got to try to talk to him to prove that they were wrong never even returned my call or answer the email
