Riverside transport, Company/owner ops/lease

I'll be there on Nov 2nd .. I've been interested in the 2016 cascadias What's your thoughts on those? Which peterbuilt model is it. 579?

 

I just looked it up. I see they have the 587 .. I might take that over the evolution. Lol
I like the evolutions though ... Guess whatever works.

 

They have both whatever floats your boat lol. They also have intl pro stars just no KW.

 

Yeah I'll just see what's up by time I get there etc. prob put the evolution at top choice and Pete for 2nd choice .. How you doing on settlements per week? How many miles you been getting? And how is the orientation etc. they said they fly me up and put me in a room by myself and feed me. Lol. . Also how's the equipment, even being new do the trucks have fridge? .. Do they make you follow their route when taking a load or can you go whichever way you want?

 

First off they probably won't have the truck you want right off the bat. If you don't get the truck you want at first you have no payments for first 6 weeks. I was here 3weeks Til I got my truck. First truck may not have fridge my didn't, but my new one does. Miles I have gotten over 2000 every week. Orientation is orientation lol. They do provide meals and your own room. Keep receipts for your diner they will reimburse you at end of orientation.

 

Cool, thank for the responses , I'll have more questions for you I'm sure Lol

 

Riverside Transport seems like a great company to work for. They have nice trucks and trailers all look brand new. I met a RTI driver at Fedex who said they treat their drivers right but with any company your attitude and how you communicate with dispatch will make or break you. "You attract more flies with honey than vinegar." I have been with my company for six months and I am looking for something better once I get my year in. But I may go ahead and make the switch depending on if RTI does hair test. I smoked marijuana when my six year old boxer passed away, I couldn't help myself I had been clean for nearly a year but I had to numb the pain somehow. I can pass urine no problem though I haven't touched it since then.

 

Now just pee tesr

 

Justgot out of orientation today. Every question I asked over phone I got a truthful answer. Never did they promise 10 weeks free or 8 or 6. They only promise a 2000 dollar bonus no matter if they have the truck you want or not which mostly they want have the truck you want because the only good ones they have are the newer ones and the Petes and the broken in trucks that guys here have had for a while. Also they will tell you that all of the kw's are crap. they are phasing out all the older trucks now and keeping the 2015 and newer but as of now they still have a few 2013 2014 internationals with Cummins and I think Petes and some kw's the waiting lists are about average of 7 guys long so the wait isn't to long for your freights and internationals. Also about that 2000 dollars what they do is they average is out over 4 weeks or 6 depending on how much the truck payments are so basically the first 4 weeks you have no truck payment that 2000 go's toward your truck. That's how that works. Pay is banded so out west and lower southern states is .90 cpm Midwest and tn is 94cpm and everywhere else including ky and northeast is 96cpm and youautomaticlly start out with a .05cpm bonus so it's from 95cpm to 1.01 pm. Any questions please pm me. I will write more as I start to get to know more about how they run here
