RTS Trucking/Champion Trucking

What kind of equipment these guys have for company driver?. .. Was the orientation process as well

 

How many drivers do they have? And how was the orientation process

 

There just seems like there is an increase lately in the “Rip the driver off” business. It’s a business now. Legally taking advantage of drivers and taking their money. Eastern Europeans found out about it and they’ve also jumped on the rip the driver off, bandwagon. This forum is chock full of horror stories about trucking companies — large and small, that systematically and deliberately rob drivers of money. It’s so pervasive in our industry that there is a culture where taking money from drivers is considered a legitimate business. This is what we’ve come to.

Companies structure their contracts where the drivers ability to earn is almost that of someone gambling at a casino. The house always wins.
READ THE CONTRACT. If you’re not familiar with the legal vernacular then fax or email a copy to OOIDA, they’ll translate it for you.

To give you some example of the nefarious nature of these companies, I’ve uploaded a contract by a trucking company owned by Russians from Florida with roots in Chicago, who set up shop in the Carolinas. This company was known by two different names in the past

 

Notice the fees and fines for virtually everything. And a $2500 escrow on top of that. This is a standard 1099 contractor contract that most of the Eastern European companies have.

The lease purchase companies like Hurricane Express and RTS structure their contracts a little differently but the end result is the same. The companies have figured out a way to rob drivers of their hard earned money, and oh my lord how the money flows. At some point I’ll be sending emails to 60 minutes or 20/20 or one of those investigative News Shows. Someone has gotta expose these people on how they exploit truck drivers.

Ultimately though, I’m afraid the ball is In the drivers court. If he refuses to read the contract then who’s to blame?

 

Who is the owner of this company? There was a Champion Trucking Co in Tulsa OK that was a bull ####ter also and a #### scammer.

 

Champion trucking out of Oklahoma was crooked as a barrel of snakes. Or so I been told.

 

If you don’t mind a vacation at Walmart or a truck stop RTS Trucking is the perfect place to go you may do one load every two weeks don’t let safety call you cause you will be on the phone with them for hours. THEY ALSO EDIT LOGS TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN RUN ILLEGALLY They are a horrible company full of liars and theifs DONT GO HERE. YOU WILL REGRET IT I SAT IN HENDERSON TENNESSEE FOR 11 days waiting for a load at WALMART

 

nobody knows how many drivers they have but their orientation process is like going to Walmart and buying groceries. they said it would be two hours but I did all the paperwork while watching the mandatory videos at the same time and was gone in less than 42 minutes. to my drug test in the back bathroom and was in a truck the next day. I was promised a 2018 freight but got a 2014 volvo when I got to penske in St louis. yes their trucks are from penske unless they have a truck available which was usually a freightliner.

if you are in need of a job and nobody else will hire you, go ahead and sign up but be aware that you won't get paid for a few weeks and they will try to jerk you. cover yourself. I was averaging 16k miles a month. how? my eld never worked and the penske trucks I had didn't have one so I was on paper logs, going from Washington to Georgia! they don't care.
