Roadrunner Fuel Discounts, what happened

Yep. That is for sure. I am just getting some bad vibes right now. Just waiting for another shoe to drop. I know the rrts wants A&A to expand 100 more trucks, and they are already hurting for freight

 

Freight on LtL side not bad, I heard Roadrunner is committed to buy 150 trucks this year, I don't know if the fuel card is part of the restatement of earnings problem or if the financial picture is that bad where they have to dip into our pockets. It's a shame what the 6 and 7 figure salary people are doing to rr. I have been here a long time, I guess they think we are overpaid.

 

Being otr that discount hurt bad considering the fuel prices. Last year remember that at times would get up to .60/gal at a petro and now .07

 

You still at RR? I'm thinking about the T2T.

 

I'm still at roadrunner doing T2T, it's a gig, you aren't going to get rich doing it but it pays the bills, it's easy , that's the only reason I'm still here.

 

It's so old to hear, "it's not going to make me rich, but it pays the bills," trying to justify getting screwed.

Prostitutes can say the same thing.

 

i don't know what your upset about, rates are controlled by the mega carriers. It's not a me or roadrunner thing just market forces. I don't know anyone getting rich doing this job, just the big carriers going to the government saying there is a driver shortage, are your rates going up, or do you see more immigrants driving?

 

Not trying to single you out. It's more of a pet peeve. Kinda like, "no company is perfect, but..." We all know no company is perfect. Why do we need reminded? Are we that stupid that we forget? LOL

People, to me, and particularly truck drivers, are so set on mediocrity it isn't funny. Rates are what they are because driver expectations are so low. But hey... it may not buy the dog food, but at least it pays the bills.

 

Want an honest perspective about this company, especially LP cause I'm inquiring about it through the refrigerated division, I must know, should I take the negative reviews with a grain of salt? Is there any positive outlook about all this? Any successes?

 

there is NOTHING positive about this company. Take the warnings because if you don't and you find yourself stuck within a month don't come back on here complaining after reading everything. Not even customers have anything positive to say
