People are nice, most other drivers will help you out if they can. Good health insurance

Pay is horrible. I was told my base pay would be .80 a mile to get me in the door when it was actually. 59 a mile when I started driving. Found out they did the same to several other drivers. Very low miles layover pay doesn't start until the 16th hour.
