Trucking Roadrunner downsizes dry van business, announces closures of five terminals, mass layoffs

Hopefully going lower.......

 

Why would you hope unhappy things to other drivers?

 

Right? Like I had my issues with Schneider, and they took advantage of me when I was a rookie, but...I was a rookie. That's what they do. It wasn't anything personal, that's just their business model.

Are they bad for truckload OTR? Yeah, they probably are. But no worse than any other mega. And they're an opportunity for new drivers. They chose to get in the business of being a stepping stone.

 

Rich logistics could save some cash by governing its trucks... They blow by me like I'm sitting still.

 

Roadrunner is hiring in Chicagoland 1.57/mile plus FSC. Recruiter told me home every other night. Only thing I disliked was $235 per week for trailer, and they said mostly drop and hook/terminal to terminal....so I’m not quite understanding the high charge for pulling their trailers? Anyone out here running with RR as an IC out of Chicago can confirm why I’ve been told....I see the rate sheet, but they assured me all loads pay $1.57 out of Chicago.....any info appreciated as I’m about to get back out there.

 

I've noticed the lower one is paid the faster the truck travels.

 

The ole Dart way of doing business ...give with one hand and take with other .

 

I read their breakdown like 4 years ago. They took back A LOT. And that was on top of buying or leasing a brand new tractor.

 

I left in 1991 after having had an epiphany...and never looked back !
