    i signed their lease a year and a half ago and have not been sorry. not sayin it's all rosy cause it's truckin. but the good definately outweighs the bad. trucks half paid for and haven't spent that much on maintenance.

    They were the last OTR job I had. They are not to bad really average company. I have worked for much worse. I did have a couple breakdowns when I first started but they were pretty good about getting the truck fixed asap. I had a real good dispatcher when I started and we worked great together then he left and I got a robot for a dispatcher. I hauled a lot of garage doors, paper and steel. Pretty decent miles and pay. I had some personal issues and came of the road otherwise I would still be there. There good people, at least in my eyes....Good Luck to ya!

    Hi all. I'm Kim and I work for Riverside as the *new* social media, website and graphic designer and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Just shoot me a message or (even better) reply here so that everyone can see. Thanks and be safe out there!

    I have a CDL with no experience yet. I live in Owensboro, Ky by one of your terminals. I'm getting ready to start with either CR England or US Xpress to gain a few months OTR. I was wondering what the minimum experience is for me to work you guys out of the Owensboro Terminal.

    petes prostars with super singles and single sleeper bunks. if you want to work you can get the miles as i do but you need to stay out 2-3 weeks at a time
