I am no longer at Risinger. There are several reasons I left.
1. My CSA score is good while their company score is terrible. Fedex already dropped them as a carrier because of it and I am pretty sure other shippers will too. I decided to leave before that happened.
2. No matter what I did I could not get above 5.9 miles to a gallon with the truck I was leasing. With fuel prices going higher and summer coming up which meant idling for air conditioning it was going to get worse. That and I was tired of them not wanting to fix things that the truck would of failed a DOT inspection because it. It was just falling apart. If it did fail they would of probably terminated me and then I would have had a hard time getting another job. I needed to protect my career.
3. I was getting tired of all the short loads and they are getting more and more of them. I was tired of doing them while the Russian and Polish partner carriers as they call them do nothing but Uline loads out of Chicago and then right back to Chicago. I got tired of getting preplanned on a load back to Chicago then being told it was cancelled then a partner carrier is picking up the load at the same time I am picking up some short load.
I will say they do run the hell out of you. My last 4 weeks there I averaged 3800 miles a week.

Hehehe...sorry but I just had to laugh. Saw a few things developing that I thought might finally get to you and you would really see more of what the real company is like once you were there for a while. Especially with the "wonderful" lease program they have. Wish you luck in finding a better company and better lease options.

Why would you assume that when he listed his reasons above. They sound like pretty honest and legitamate reasons to me. -
