Pros
DOP for Arkansas Region is very understanding for family emergencies. When your branch is Staffed and safe, it's an easy job. Getting to know UP crew members and management.
Cons
If you happen to have a few preventable accidents, such as scraping poles or Un reported damage, corporate looks at you as the "reason why" It couldn't possibly be that you pay drivers $9.25 per hour and expect them to make safe decisions with a vehicle that is not their own. All drivers are disgruntled. I don't blame them, pay them more! PTI owes drivers money from 2016. It's still in arbitration. Ron Romain himself said they pay the drivers what they are worth. If you do not perform well under extreme amounts of stress, this job is not for you. Drivers hate you, vendors hate you because PTI fleet never pays them. When a van goes down, it will take weeks to get back in service. New people in payroll in Evansville every week screwing up drivers pay, which gets blamed on local management. There is no balance between home and life. The branch needs will consume you.
