This company was fine until they start using their cameras illegally.. I Got called in the office for a write up for cell phone use while driving which is wrong on my behalf I admit that... BUT the cameras was ONLY supposed to record when an event happens. The videos they showed me was me just driving down the highway and all of a sudden it starts recording... hhhmm... And the fact that every video they had was me holding my phone just cruising down the highway. No events no potholes.. None was any Events that happened bc I would have seen it record. .  If I hit a small pothole I’ll look at it to see if it records or not and I’ll write that event down so I’ll have records when I had an event . So I know when it records for a fact.. None of the events matches my day/time events. All the events was seemed to be chosen clips of me while cruising down a open highway where there was no events . . . I never seen the camera record until I hit a pothole or I hit the brakes hard, and a red flashing will show and you’ll know it’s recording I Never seen it just record ..But now I see they record you 24/7.. So that made me realize they can look at those cameras at anytime and can hear everything you say  ..  You don’t have the feeling of freedom in thier trucks . . They’ll use that camera against you at any time they want. Speeding,  following too closely anything. Micro Managing your every move . That’s not the way You want to feel when driving a truck. . We drive trucks to feel that freedom. Not someone looking over us 24/7..  Even if ur in the sleeper u don’t have ur privacy . God forbid don’t have ur wife or girlfriend with you....  You’ll be hanging by a thread and they’ll Continuously threaten you’re employment with them bc they have so much against you. . . If you want Something Secure this isn’t the place . . . Not my cup of tea

I worked at P&S for nearly five years. During my time there, I gained valuable experience, but I also encountered several challenges. Compensation for my role was consistently below the industry average, and opportunities for raises were limited — I received only two in five years, despite consistent performance and increased responsibilities.

Workload expectations often extended beyond what was originally discussed. Being salaried, there was an expectation to be available outside of regular business hours, including evenings and weekends, with little regard for work-life balance. For instance, I was required to travel for a weekend assignment and return immediately to my normal schedule without any time off, resulting in nearly two consecutive weeks of work.

Although I was hired under the understanding that the schedule would be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, there were frequent occasions where I was expected to stay past scheduled hours or work on holidays that were initially presented as paid time off.

Additional duties assigned often fell outside the scope of my position. Tasks such as recovering and cleaning trucks or performing responsibilities more appropriate for a regional manager were regularly added without additional compensation or title adjustment.

While I appreciated aspects of the job and the experience I gained, these ongoing issues ultimately made it difficult to maintain a healthy balance and feel adequately valued in the role. 

This is just my experience, it’s an otr company that seems to cater to the owner operators and lease drivers. I have dead headed around 3 hours to get a load but had me sitting an entire week because they didn’t want to dead head me an hour and a half to get new tarps. Needless to say after I sat an entire week making no money they finally send me to get the new tarps then over 4 hour dead head to get a no tarp load, makes perfect sense. If you keep their equipment in good and driveable/dot passable condition you don’t make money. The people who consistently get bad inspections from dot and drop equipment in non passable conditions get the good loads and don’t stay hoping you’ll get to lease a truck. I’ve personally known people to get moved up in the list and get a truck faster because they knew them or someone who they know put in a good word for them. Here it’s stay out over the road for $900 or less a week which can’t support your family. Full of broken promises and the biggest that they love to say, we will get you home on time every time but never happens. I stayed out 2 months straight and asked to be home 4 days. I get 1 day off for those 2 months out because they didn’t want me to go home empty with me being 1 hour from the house. Wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone 

Its a good company- i came in with experience so didnt have to go through training, 4 days of paperwork an more food than you even want to look at! Flew me to their hq in Birmingham, then flew me to somewhere in NC to pick up the truck i chose; baggage was paid for both trips and they gave me cash to get food and stuff when i went to get the truck! Getting home was easy in the first few months but seems harder now, however for dr. Apts and events (kids birthdays etc. ) they get you home on time. Theres a lot of short trips but your paid by load not miles, if your not home on the weekends you usually get a 34 so no counting recaps, trucks are ok- not top of the line but decently maintained, you do swap trailers a lot for pickups but not many for repower types. 48' trailers and option between auto or manual trucks capped at 65, and no forced loads- you can turn down loads you dont like and they usually come at you with multiple options to start, Options for lease purchase program and the have over a dozen truck lines so if one area goes under they can transfer those drivers to a different truck line- good for job security! Major plus in these times

Made very good money some weeks  2k plus a week sometimes gross! You have to get the good loads though I think they try to keep you in a certain pay range but they defiantly  have  great paying loads. You need to have some experience in knowing what you should make for a load. If not you may pick something not good for you, hence the saying all money is not good money! Yes you do have to pick you load and i was not penalized if i didn't like a load. You typically get a call with two options if you dont like they will ask were you want to go or what you are looking for and try to get you what or were you want. 

Cons:  I didn't like that the trucks do not have inverters and they don't want you to get one installed either so you have to get a cooler or eat out of truck stops! No fridge or microwaves even in the 2019 trucks governed at 65 you can idle the truck with the idle up option but the truck regen's really loud! Freightliner old body style all of there trucks the same.

I worked here  as a company driver and  there is Lots of sitting waiting on loads, you have to fight for detention and lay over pay  THEY DONT PAY YOU FOR ANYTHING!! lots of dead head for loads most are only going to pay you around $240 after you get your 27%..you will make more if they paid by the mile with all the dead heading you do!! You have long days due to the fact you have to wait on a load then dead head to get the load, wait to get get loaded properly secure the load and drive so you can make sure you deliver the load on time THE PAY DOES NOT MATCH THE WORK dispatchers try to offer you the loads no one wants to take and says this is all they have and make you wait more hours if you deny it..  only good thing about this company is non forced dispatch and home weekly & they don’t bother you as much. 

I worked there for three weeks and they decided to lay everybody off in the office I was at but they offered me a job in Nashville 10 hours away from home and my kids. Once I was working for them they took back my bonus after restructuring it they kept giving me recycle truck drivers that were not very good workers I didn’t get any yearly review or raise despite coming to work every day and not taking any days off during Covid. One month I was a top revenue owner per truck and didn’t receive so much as a good job from my boss. There’s a power struggle among the managers who all want to step on everybody in order to show that they’re the best. It’s not friendly competition or teamwork it’s a free-for-all and nobody cares about anybody else. half of the people don’t do their jobs right. 

If you prove to them that you're a hustler and have good work ethic they'll definitely take care of you. I've been with them for 13 months and after my 90 day grace period they told me that I was something special. They gave me a really good driver manager who has gotten to know how I roll and will always get me into the best places for the best load options. I drive 10+ hours every day and work 6 days a week. I only go home every 3-4 months but that's my choice. Doing things this way has allowed me to earn almost 90k ytd. Drivers can complain all they want, but when you want to go home every weekend(especially when living in an area with bad load options), then don't expect to make much. I know this personally because freight is horrible in NC. Which is why I chose to run elsewhere. Bottom line is, you work hard for this company and you WILL see results 

The typical day at work. It never stops until the log book runs out. I've learned to make sure dispatch doesn't forget about you and treat you like a number instead of a person and not to take just any load that's given to you . To speak up when you aren't getting paid a descent paycheck like most of the other drivers are receiving . Many co workers don't help you . The hardest part of the job is driving to the north when you asked dispatch to keep you from there and going home with a partial weekly check because you had to sit over night with no load. The most enjoyable is getting home safely and having a great pay week.. To not live off of next weeks check to pay this weeks bills.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Got lucky and started in a new truck

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trailers are bad and no one takes care of strap or traps 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Either get it done yourself and force company to do something or wait a day to get dispatch and maintenance department 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Unload at 7, wait 3 to 4 hours for next load. Then drive nearly 2 hours to pickup. Have to rush to deliver cause they ran drive clock out. Lucky I'm on dedicated route now. The only problem is that they changing what is class as a 2 day run. So I still have to do more now on salary pay.
