    Great company to work for if you want to stay broke and be home on the weekends. The company has great drop n hook loads. But whats the point of having great runs if you arent making any money. The only way you will take home over a $600 dollars a week is to not go home on the weekends. If anyone else tells you different. They are lying.

    Welcome to trucking. If the wheels are not turning you are not earning. You can't sit on your couch and still make money. I'm out 5-6 weeks at a time & then take a week off. And I just finished a 3400 mile week today. I've been at RTI a little over 4 months now. Fuel plays a bigger part in your pay than miles do. Which is why I insisted on a Pete out of orientation. Average a little over 7.5 MPG. A lot better than those ProStars and Cascadias.

    Another hint: try running some Canadian loads. The additional .04/mi for all loaded miles & the $100 border crossing pay really helps too.

    Hi there folks. Ive been offered a l/p wit rti and been mulling it for a week 1/2 now but then these thr re ads make me think l/p is prolly not going to be profigable. So, from reading ghis. Are there pete's available for l/p at rti?

    It varies every week. But if they don't have what you want at first they will put you on a list & when one comes available they'll put you in it. I got lucky and got one out of orientation. That extra 1 MPG over what some of my other buddies get in their ProStars makes all the difference in the world. Do the figures on paper & you'll see what I mean.

    They have a family dollar dedicated account with company trucks that pays close to what I make with jb if that's close to you see if you can transfer there you will do better than 600 a week for sure .

    ChuckK70, how are you able to keep your Pete when I was forced to give mine up!? I was told the Peterbilt's were all being "turned back in"!?

    Actually, I got out of my 2012 Pete in May, after it was hit by a PAM driver in a truckstop while I was on hometime. I was put in a KW T680 loaner while it was in the bodyshop. But once it got out I pointed out just how bad the APU was belching thick blue smoke and refused to get back in it. I am still in that KW loaner but I'm supposed to be getting into a 2016 Pete as soon as I get to KC again after leaving home later today. And yes, I have noticed a bunch of 2012s getting readied to go back.
