risinger brothers

Sorry about your bad luck but if a driver signs a lease with a company that controls your loads you kinda deserve to be bent over!

 

I also work for Risinger and some of what you say is true,but no one here is forcing you here to run fast. I keep my speed around 60mph and if there is a problem with being on time call and let them know,thy will work with you on it. As far as your settlement goes risinger explains every deduction and the 10cnt a mile is for your maintenance account, If your running as fast as you say I'm sure alot your check is going for fuel, also Risinger bros is out of Morton Il not Chicago. Yes alot of the loads are heavey and I will probably only be here till the end of the year myself. I do own my truck,this is one area I think you need to look long and hard at,try and get money saved up to buy a t ruck,its the best way to go and if you don't like it somewhere you can move on without being beholding to anyone. I must also say that Risinger has a great office staff and are willing to help you,don't give up so easily and don't just blame the company. We have 300 drivers there and a lot off them are happy so take a look in the mirror first.

I am a risinger driver too.I have been with them 2 years and yes the some of the loads are heavy but they also have light loads.I have seen many drivers get their title from a lease purchase.risinger does pay well and you get raises with longevity.i just got 1200.00 safety bonus that i get every 3 months.i also got 500.00 christmas bonus.if your truck has a issue they will help you to get rolling.you do need to tell them not other drivers when you have a problem.they cant help you if they dont know what the problem is.

 

Sounds like another L/P victim ,hmmmm 200k a yr eh ? ....tell them you don't pull fuel sucker loads ,you're just a lease driver not a O/O ....if that don't work tell them you have a nice truck you want lease back to them for 200k a yr ...make sure you tell them about the freedom of being your own boss and how you could possibly help them get on the road of success like you have help so many other companies

 

yea but they just got rid of the safety bonus.... still get the christmas bonus if you there over 6 months and don't let your old battery go dead they make you pay for a jump and battery replacement says jumping ruins them when it was old in the first place!!! NO apu so burn lots gas idling to stay warm in the cold running areas they send you PA NY WI not staying long soon as i find something i'm gone and how bout them little pay checks $30-$300 not worth my effort staying out 2 weeks away from the famly and not making enough to put food on the table no thanks

 

I couldn't imagine ever lease purchasing a truck that is dispatched by the company. Give me a choice board or give me a company t shirt.

 

They also still pay short miles.

 

1.10 per mi
.08 fuel surcharge now.
835 per wk for trucks.
.06 maintenance
.03 for plates
1.18 per mi.. lol. Gotta run 3400 mi a week to make it worth it.
