Customers and management are both nice, so there’s less concerns as a driver.

Management seems to be a hit-or-miss, depending on what terminal you’ll be working out of. Drivers do state that there are a lot of responsibilities, including unloading all of the pickups. Drivers who are looking for no-touch freight will want to seek a position elsewhere.
