I started at Risinger about a month ago. They do not have company drivers they only hire owner/operators and they do lease some trucks. I am leasing a 2007 Volvo 630 which costs me a little less than $500 a week including insurance. I love it so far. They pay 1.03 per mile plus fuel surcharge. So far I have averaged about 3300 miles a week and 75% of pickups and deliveries are drop and hooks. On average I pay about 30 cents less than pump price for fuel. They pay $200 per day for layover and $26 per hour for detention pay after 2 hrs at a customer. I have never had to wait for a load either I have been preplanned or got one right away when I sent in my empty call. Best job I have ever had!

Kind of a new thing. I knew a driver who was a company driver there about 3 years ago.

They also pay all tolls and even pay for scale tickets. Have EZ Pass and Prepass to bypass scales at no cost to the driver. Only thing I have not made up my mind about is they charge .10 per mile for all maintenance so I pay nothing for repairs or tires, oil, coolant, wipers, oil changes, towing or anything maintenance related and I even get 1 free truck wash per month at Blue Beacon included in that.

uhmmm, something doesn"t smell right. I could swear they have company drivers. $500 A MONTH for an '07 Volvo? I have my doubts. Unless it's a lease with a ballon payment. But hey, I could be wrong.
-
I checked one of the truck driver application sites and they do not reflect company driver info either. -
-
Was a shock to me as well. I never thought they got rid of them. -
My lease payment is 390.00 and then with insurance it ends up being 493.00 total for fixed expenses. There is no balloon payment because I will never own it. It is basically a rental. Call a recruiter they will confirm everything I said.

$493/month. Or $493/week for lease
