Pros
There is never a boring moment at Trans Time Express. As a driver, there is independence and opportunity to see lots of different places on a daily basis. Being the on the road can be fun. Tackling various delivery requests and logistical situations are a fun brain teaser. Compensation is average for the industry, but opportunities to work extra are almost always available. Quite a good sum of money can be produced for the very eager in this industry without having a diploma or specialized education. Common sense and a great attitude can carry you through in most situations.
Cons
Many days require very long hours, 12-16 hours of non-stop making deliveries. Problems and setbacks are frequent and problem solving can be tiring at times. Dispatchers are under heavy pressure from clients and so can be short with drivers as they are fielding hundreds of calls throughout the day. A high level of communication is key to the success of the organization and at times it can feel suffocating for those unable to embrace the culture of constantly checking in.
