RoadRunner

I worked as an O/O for this company early 2015 for a couple of months. I was told by a recruiter that they needed drivers for their LTL loads, all drop and hook, terminal to terminal. After driving to Dallas Texas for 2 day orientation I soon find out that drop and hook is actually drop and wait. Additionally terminal to terminal in many cases was after you did a stop at a receiver for partial freight unloading which to my dismay sometimes required unloading nearly the entire trailer for them to get their freight and then having to reload the remaining freight so I could continue on to the RoadRunner terminal. RoadRunner paid an extra $40 for the stop which is nowhere worth the time involved nor travel expenses, also you'd better hope the stop you have to go to doesn't take a long time to offload their freight because Roadrunner doesn't pay you any detention pay.

During orientation I also found out that RoadRunner charges many many many fee's that were never disclosed to me prior to orientation. I nearly walked out of orientation but was really needing to work so I hoped for the best and figured I'd give it a try. Their Per mile rate wasn't too bad but after all the BS deductions (which there are many) the only way I was going to make my nut every month was to stay out on the road permanently. In the short time I was there I had several 2-3 day layovers even though I took all the steps in obtaining a load (emails,calls,etc). I always seemed to get held up because some other driver(s) didn't show up in time with their portion of my LTL freight, RoadRunner isn't in the business of sending out a half loaded trailer so even though I was on schedule I still had to wait because other drivers were running late.

And hopefully you never have a problem afterhours because there's NOBODY to help. Most of their so called terminals are a joke, no RoadRunner name to be found anywhere because RoadRunner is just renting a few docks at that location from another company yet they have the balls to call iut one of their terminals, LMFAO. Not to mention I had several wrong addresses given to me for delivery locations, I'd have to Google the name of the place to find out where I was really supposed to go.

All I can say is I wish I'd never came in contact with RoadRunner, driver beware. I've since found a great Mom and Pop trucking company to lease onto as an O/O and I'm very happy.
