Road Show Services reviews

I worked at Roadshow Services for 24 months. I always knew it would be a temporary stopping off place, on my way to a permanent, career-type driving job. The company booked some very good concert tours, with many of them giving drivers nice hotel rooms, other times you would receive $50 if you chose to sleep in your truck, thus saving the tour some expenses. Tractor quality ranged from rental-truck 'meh' to classy and powerful - and everything in between. The company at one time had a policy of not paying drivers for ´travel days,´ which meant time traveling in a rental car or plane to a new work assignment or truck pickup point. The pay rate pay was rather poor. I earned $90 per day ($45 being considered tax-free per diem) or $630 per week while away from home, home time of course was not compensated. The company also once required drivers to ´assist´with both load-in and load-out .I finally got so tired of that, that I simply refused to do it. I told the truck loaders, ´Hey, you guys load the truck, and I´ll drive it, okay? You don´t help me drive, so why should I help you load the dern thing?´´´ No one bothered me about that ever again. At Roadshow, I was always slip-seating tractors, on a plane to somewhere once or twice a month, and also rented plenty of cars to get to new assignments. It got kind of tiring after awhile, and when I was laid off, I almost viewed it as a blessing in disguise.

Bad communications with dispatch . If your not in the click don't bother hirering on. Worst place I have ever worked in 49 years of trucking.
