Anybody familiar with these guys? They look like a standard LTL carrier, covering parts of the midwest and the Northeast. P&D during the day, linehaul at night, like pretty much all of the LTL outfits that are hiring right now. Compensation looks decent. I tried searching the forums here and nothing came up, maybe because they aren't nationwide and aren't as well known. They're busy around here though, I see their green trucks running everywhere (Internationals unfortunately, but I could live with that). Would be good to hear from someone who drives (or drove) for them. They have a terminal very close to me and I'm headed over there this morning to talk with the manager.
R+L Carriers - anyone familiar with them?

All I can say is the guy who talked to me said he disliked them paid by the mile no drop hook pay some other things to but I was tacking my nightly nap and didn't really want to listen to the guy
Diesel997 Thanks this. -
My wife and I worked for them out of their Chicago terminal as a team and hated it. Lasted a month before we quit. Experiences will vary by terminal. Solo drivers I think might have a better experience because it's more of a solo company than team.

They are big out where I live...terminal close to me is sizable and rarely hires...drivers who I have spoken with like it.

I'm only really looking at local daytime jobs, but I know they have line haul for solo and teams. I didn't ask much about line haul. Interviewed today for their P&D position, similar package to ODFL. Good hourly rate, but straight time all the way through. They're a much bigger company than I thought.
On the plus side I wouldn't have to start at nights at $16/hour like at UPSF, ABF, and YRC. Also they try to keep you in an assigned unit (which you share with a night time line haul driver obviously) because they think it's safer than slip seating. I agree.
Downside is not getting paid overtime after 8, but that seems to be the deal with a lot of the big non-union companies. -
How did you make out? I have done p&d and line haul for them.
