Reinhart or mclane?

In my area Reinhart is the bottom of the barrel it's so bad they are offering 8000 sign on bonus. It's local home everyday work but it isn't what I would call great. Now mclane on the other had it's two or three day runs but your gonna make bank I know guys making 100k over there.... hope this helps

 

Nothing wrong with Nebraska and I live here but an outfit that licenens there trucks and trailers here but isn't based here would be a red flag for me ...cheap!

 

I'm normally tank-yanking, next week I'm on dry van because we have nOObs that 'need to stay fresh', so they're tanking - DOT road closures / postings, rural areas, slow production season, yadda-yadda-yadda. Anywho - I requested of my DM not to send me to McClain's (NH). I realize as an outside carrier, they couldn't give an F about me (6 hr waits: check in to dock bump; 3 hr unloads), and i know you wouldn't get treated the same.... but that's how they treat their servicers.

 

Werner is based there.
Why can't they keep the red-flags down, zing? Lol.

 

We have Werner here so we can keep up Arkansas and Arizona in semi demolition derby and they do a good job of keeping dry van rates here low .lol

 

I've never worked for either of these companies, but I have delivered to both places. The Reinhart location in Cincinnati and the McLane in Hebron, KY. All I can say is that the people seemed unhappy and the facility was raggedy (relatively speaking) at Reinhart. The McLane location was spotless and the employees were all very friendly. This was consistently the case every time I delivered to either location, which was fairly often over a 3 year period. I know that says nothing about the job, because I was not in contact with their drivers, but I can bet the overall environment for the McLane drivers is much better (at least in the Cincinnati metro area).

 

If you want to know anything about McLane Plymouth, PM me and I'll give you my number. It's easier to talk I think.

A lot of guys here complain about a lot of changes here in the last couple years, but I don't think it's much different anywhere else. It's not as good as it used to be, but it's still pretty good.

 

Nothing wrong with where you posted your question. Likely will get better response here than In any other section.
