    ive been here at pro bout 4 weeks now so far so good
    its 27% for a co. driver free medical after 90 days (bcbs)
    no qualcomm trks at 70 to 73 mph have to do daily check call by 10am cst to give ur hrs if u get a ticket your truck will be turned down to 65 for 30 days they check the ecm after 30 to make sure u complied witch means no rolling down hill over 65 ( this is what i was told by saftey) they do have a ryder policy paid weekly but there is no direct deposit yet was told by payroll they will in a month or so, check is mailed home or to your bank dont know if u can have it put on ur fuel card didnt ask

    No turned out to be a crap hole company as time goes on dispatchers try to drive you truck more and more. I should of waited for the honeymoon period to be over before posting.

    The straw that broke the camel's back was when they wouldn't fix the a.c. on the road.
    I was in Laredo middle of summer. There were several other factors as well. I just sucked up got the truck back and left.

    I wouldn't recommend them to anyone
     
    LampkinOO Thanks this.

    My best friend loves Pro and wants me to get on there but he's single and doesn't mind being out months at at time. I figured I need more than one opinion on them. The only thing I felt they have going for them is the lease purchase but I'm leaning toward buying my own truck.
