Risinger Brothers Transfer

Ok BigKid2...now that the law has been laid down at Risinger that everything in your log book must match the qualcomm what is your mileage per week? Doubt that you are seeing the 3400+ you were doing.

 

Glad to hear you are passing the muster and things are matching. Not everyone was so lucky.

 

Thanks again , wondering did you get the 500 yet ive been out now for a couple weeks they said after 1st trip you would get it. Im sure we will see each other some time soon I will let you buy me dinner LOL , Be safe out there.

Have a nice thanks giving

 

Risinger is the biggest mistake I remember ever making...only averaging around 2600 miles per week. All loads over 43k pounds. I overheard a fleet manager putting it right into words; "..Our primary concern is the small fleet owners, the single truck operators get whatever is left..." And they are proving it everyday. IF you like pulling heavy loads, burning your drives and steer tires everyday, if you like running 100 mile runs, and working local for your fleet mgr # 26.00/ hour, then sign on!
They also like to keep you in the upper midwest, where the fule price is over 3.30 per gallon.
I assume if you lease a truck through them, you may get some miles to pay for their truck through their so called lease purchase. I've done moved on before I went broke.

Risinger Brothers is a big mistake!!! Just like a fleet manager put it to me: "...Our main concern is the small fleet owner, the single owner operator, gets whatever is left...."
And they will prove that to you everyday by asking you run local loads # 26.00 per hour, run 100 miles here and a 100 miles there, asking you for favors until you're blue in the face.
My best week there was 2600 miles and I had to fight for it. 90% of the loads are over 43k pounds, mainly paper and recycled trash that you pick up at different dumps.
The loads to Texas are all reserved. I couldn't buy a load to Texas.
They love to keep you in the Chicago area, running and burning $3.36 + per gallon fuel. They offer a small fuel discount. THe last settlement I received, my avg was around 3.22 after their so called discount.
I've already moved on before I went broke with them...It's like this, if you like burning you expensive drive and steer tires pulling 43k+ constantly, if you like to run local # 26.00 per hour, if you like to run 100 miles here and there until they can find you a better load, if you like to kiss your fleet manager's ###, so you can get a good load (600 miles avg), then go on and sign on with Risinger.
