Why'd you leave? Everything here looks great.

I don't know how they are currently; I quit almost 6 years ago.
But when I drove for them:
they expected you to have a clean truck, but they wouldn't wash it or pay for a truck wash, you you had to either wash the company's truck yourself, or pay for someone to do it
For every load you picked up they reimbursed $1.50 for getting the truck weighed to make sure it was legal. It cost $7-8 to scale out.
The Ontario terminal took 3 days to service my truck
Owner-operators could refuse loads if they didn't like them. I was a solo company driver (forced dispatch), so it seemed that I wound up with the crappy loads that were left after owner-operators got good loads, and teams got high-mileage loads.
When I went home I had to drop off my trailer at a drop lot, and when I headed back out, I had to go to the drop lot to pick up a trailer. About 75 miles each way (unpaid).
