R & L Carriers

Went to a interview today for a team position. Thought I'd share the info for those in the future.

Highest pay scale for teams is $27.63 an hour & for new drivers is $24.30 an hour. New drivers are paid 88% of what the top scale is then it goes up 4% every year until you reach the top of the pay scale.

The way they calculate the pay is:

(Miles / 50 mph) * $ per hour

 

We're looking for weekly hometime. Problem is most companies think getting drivers home long enough to do a reset is sufficient.

 

Tow, we had trouble getting an interview but what worked was filling out a paper application & faxing it to the corporate office. Teams are hired & dispatched from the corporate office in Wilmington, OH. The hiring manager is Ralph Holstein, when you call in....you will get his assistant. She will make sure your called in for a interview at the local terminal.

They want us to run 'wild' which means go wherever they need us to.

Is this a good place to work ?

 

Forgot to ask about accessory pay.

Benefits were good.

The guy we interviewed with thinks we would be doing two runs to Salt Lake City & one wherever they need us then back home. Doing the math, that seems like we would make less $1,000 gross & they might not let us be home for two full days. At US Xpress, we're making $1,000 to $1,600. The manager said he would need to speak with corporate further then we plan on sitting down with him again to get a better idea if this place will be a good fit for us.

 

We were going with OD but my wife wasn't able to get a one year medical card. She got a two year after working on her BMI but OD said they weren't hiring teams right now.
