    :biggrin_25524:DO NOT work as a driver for this company locally in any town on the night shifts...first off youll have to wait on your time with log books ticking if your load isnt ready. Then if your lucky enough to get your load out within the first 45 minutes after your scheduled time, you still have to weigh it on their scale and god forbid one of the pups is overloaded because youll have to unhook the dolly back it in and wait for them to reload the trailer..(about an hour or two) on your log time..then hook up again re-weigh and pray you are legal and if god is with you you will be..BUT WAIT!!! Im not done, they have to reprint your paper work and you have to do it all again....Now you've made it to the road and praying you don't get scaled, as R&L is a red flagged company with so many inspection violations such as (expired or missing) trailer inspection reports, overweight trailers, etc...All of these inspections that you go through go on your psp report that all companies now look at as gospel, even though the psp report does NOT havae to be used as a tool for hiring, per the fmcsa website on ps reports...Stay away from R&L...you wont be sorry

    16 years huh? So how long did you work are currently working for R&L? Also did you just go in on a whim or hype? I am sure there are other LTL carriers you could work for that are better than your current company.
