I've been at Coastal for 12 years. There are several drivers that have more seniority. I'd say a good portion of the drivers are 5 years + employed or leased to/at Coastal. This says alot about the company culture.
The equipment is top notch. Getting things fixed on the road has never been a problem. The pay is average and the customer base is consistently good. Broker loads are used as a fill in and not a primary source of loads.
The Owner/President actually makes himself available to all drivers.
Pay and Home time go hand in hand. Some want to be home alot and some don't.
As far as Coastal being perfect, it's not. But in 38 years OTR it's the closest I've ever come across.
Pros
Equipment. Dispatch. Hometime.
