Former Employee - Apr 24, 2024

Terminated for following instructions. Last week, I injured my ankle at work. I didn't know whether or not to go to the doctor, but my supervisor advised that I should. I did as instructed and it was filed under a worker's comp claim. The original paperwork I got from the doctor stated the I could return to work on the 23rd. On the 22nd, I was told that it was not written clearly enough. So I went back in on the 23rd and had a follow-up exam. This doctor cleared me and released me from care on that day. Still trying to get cleared to return to work, I couldn't get an answer until this afternoon. My supervisor called and terminated me. The same guy who advised me to go to the doctor.

Pros

Local job with good hours

Cons

Training is poor at best.

I regret working for these people, After sitting almost the whole winter (with no pay)they wanted us to take a 27cpm pay cut or we would be terminated. I accidentally popped a tire once and they made sure it was on my DAC report. They lie alot!

Pros

Absolutely none

Cons

They lie and lose contracts

The world's worst I ever drove for..1700-1800 miles per week pay at 400-700 average..many agerarating sencers on the trucks ???? ..there's no money here at riverside transport..OK if your single or your getting big social security each month and other payments..but if your happy with 400-700 average and sit here and sit there waiting for a 258 mile loads at 58 cpm..then come to get washed away here at riverside transport..the best thing is their well maintained equipment and drivers lounges..other then that..stay Away from this " peanut factory ???? paying company..no money ????

Pros

Good equipment

Cons

No miles and short you on pay and their app to send In the signed paperwork don't work most of the time and it will Is suspiciously will make you lose out on getting payed for all your loads

Riverside transport inc miles?

Riverside transport inc miles?

I'll save your soul on this one, Look somewheres else. I thought 6 months at walmart was the worst job I ever had until I did 12 weeks at rti. No miles, crappy trucks that are double leased and more. You can only fuel at PFJ and a I'm still trying to figure out how an annual inspection on a trailer never expires, so says the big chested safety lady!

You can send me a PM for the rest of the story!

 


Riverside Transport Lease Purchase?

Riverside Transport Lease Purchase?

I just quit RTI day before yesterday. They tell you that if they don't have the truck you want, that you get 10weeks payment free, but if they have the truck you want, you get a $2, 000 sign on bonus. Don't botherasking for a Kenworth, no one ever gives them up because they're good trucks! I was given a 2012 Peterbilt 587 and got "10 weeks free". Well, mydispatcher sent me a text message on Tuesday morning stating that I would be swapping trucks once I got back in Owensboro. They were going to put mein a 2015 ProStar which was fine because it had a cummins and not a max force! BUT, they wanted me to start making payments on the truck immediately! Ihad only been there a month and I still had 6 weeks left on my "10 free"! Just a week earlier I told Mike, who is the ops manager for Owensboro that I wasn't getting enough miles to make a decent paycheck(over $500.00) and I was given 2 loads back to back that were 733 miles each. Then it went right back to 112, 212 and 333 mile loads! 95% of their loads come from and go to Ragu which is literally right across the street from their terminal in Owensboro! Mike told mehimself they didn't have very much freight! I told Mike I couldn't afford to make their truck payment of$553.00 a week when I was only bringing home$500.00 a week!! My third check, was for $2, 663.00out of that check I only got $514.00! They deduct so much, you're pretty much paying to work for them! Inever signed a lease thank goodness, or I would havebeen screwed!! My suggestion, STAY AWAY FROMRTI!

Riverside Transport Lease Purchase?

 i quit them about a month after i started. Now they do have a good lease but what they dont tell u is they only have 1 customer which is ragu and most of there loads are only 150 miles out every now and again you might get lucky and get a 500 mile load but the thing is everyl load i got after driving the 150 mile load i was waiting at least 20 to 30 hours before they would find another 150 or 250 mile load. Needless to say your gonna be owing them money. Do not go there. 1500 miles a week and they think there doing there job and getting you miles

I worked for RTI, run as fast as you can! worst 12 weeks of my life. 12 weeks and only 29k miles. had nothing with but problems with my dm. poor communication. pay never right. took for ever to get my safety bonus for a level 1. don't fall for the all inclusive full service maintenance. your paying into a pool on a deal that is already included in the lease for where ever the got the truck. Plus, it is not a walk away lease!!!!! Left and went to JCT. Whole lot happier and I'm not in the poor house either
