I’ve been with Coastal for 6 months now. Been driving for 16 years. I’ve never been happier than I am now. Got a great looking truck that is well maintained and plenty of miles. I get home when I want and/or need to. My dispatcher is top notch and they care about safety.

Pros

Top notch equipment Awesome office staff Friendly drivers Awesome maintenance crew

None that I can think of.

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.

Cons

Growing pains.
