Avoid Roadrunner lease purchase or any other

This company was built on owner ops knew what they were doing, not wet behind the ears lease operators.

Any major breakdown more than a few hundred do not expect help ( they will be glad to put you in a rental truck to work for free while you figure this out). Like any other company can fire you without severance in say Wyoming.

Not terminal to terminal always, many third parties, settlements cut off at midnight, so your trailer will many times be loaded until you can deliver by Monday but you pay for fuel that week if you deliver or not. Many terminals closed on weekends.

Forced to fuel at loves or ta (do they pocket savings?) You are not always offered high paying loads and they can change without explanation anyway before you pickup.

Back hauls setup at last minute 75% were cheap heavy loads more economical to deadhead than waste log hours on. No fuel surcharge on back hauls.

Some trailers are gas hogs as tire replacement has been uneven due to suspected stolen tire replacement and of course what all companies experience, improperly loaded axles overweight and random stolen, inoperative lights 4 or 5 times a year. Better be on your toes.

Deadhead pay frequently around .50 a mile. Variable term lease that is not walk away, no skipped payments or deferrals, that is done at their discretion with little assurance.

Look up 5 most common failures on any motor and you will see how cheap rates are going to haunt you one day.

You do manual IFTA reports. Or you do not get paid. They have a couple advocates posting raving reviews because they figured out or got the handle on a couple good paying runs, those runs may not be offered as the older drivers figured that out a long time ago.

You want to try them out use a rental truck. Do not lease purchase. You better have a 15k to 30k revolving repair fund to back you up. Vandalism, dishonest shops, deer, rookies at truck stops, 5 common breakdowns, tires (70 mph will tear em up with breaking), shocks, brakes, its for grumpy old men to deal with.

If someone puts a red card on your truck saying you can own your own truck, do me a favor and light it on fire.
