Need a new job in Virginia

RCS Trucking & Freight
Small company (~50 trucks I think ?) based in Vargina. I know next to nothing about them, I called them one time and they seemed okay but I'm about 1,000 miles out of their hiring area.

 

It's the same except for sleeper truck drivers have a full 14 to work and run off the 70 hour clock. Daycab drivers are on the 60 hour clock and have to live within 60 miles of a DC to get a daycab bid. The same 2 drivers will run a given truck 12 hour shifts each. At my DC they work about 50-55 hours any given week and aren't on set runs. At other DC's maybe or maybe not set runs? I dunno. Also I know in some larger urban areas there are a few odd stores that a sleeper truck can't even get into. We don't service any like that from mine though.

 

Sure isn't any more. Knight - Swifty swallowed years ago...

 

J Rayl has a terminal down in Danville, but that’s quite a hike from where you are…

 

Careers – HOUFF TRANSFER INC

 

You want to be home every weekend with 48 hours off? You live anywhere around a Houff terminal. Houff out of Weyers Cave, Va? Now mind you, you need skin that is a little "tough" because when it comes to being talked to, get ready for some talk way from being "diplomatic." . Equipment is well taken care off. As far as I know the freight is "no touch". Pay and benefits are above average. I worked for Houff part time some years ago and never sit around waiting for a load. Never had a problem with payroll. Strictly dry freight.

 

I will put it this way, they are not a "bunch of a-holes" at the time I was there, they had never learned how diplomacy works, "sugar will catch more flies than vinegar". Now, one lesson learned will get you by without any problem, the lesson; Houff's way is the only way. learn to deal with this and you will come away with no stress and $$ in your pockets.
