R&J Trucking

I wish you the best of luck....I saw 4-5 new all blue Macks with set forward front axles setting there yesterday...they looked sharp...good luck , keep us informed...

 

I never worked for precentage, it depends on what the load is paying, and what you get for that %. I have a friend that gets paid 28% of the load, and from what he has seen over the last 2 years. That milage is much better. Milage is not all what its cracked up to be unless you are getting paid all miles, most are useing pcmiler wich is zip to zip. I mean if I had 3 stops in that zip, Im doing it for free. Trucking companies are not put on this earth to make the trucker rich, most places i have seen if you work a 70 hour week(come on really 80) most companies are paying 12 to 15 an hour when you break it down.

 

Well thats great pay for a days work, must of been a great load, those same miles could pay half of that with precentage as well. Also keep in mind that alot of companies will give you great loads when you first start up with them, to keep you happy. I hope in your case with this terrible economy that RJ keeps it up for ya. Keep us posted!

 

Any updates driver? They're one of the top companies I'm looking at currently for a local gig.

 

If you have a family, do not work here. They have no compassion for what is going on with your family. They are like a machine that just wants to produce money money money. You can have a terminally ill family member and as long as you come to work every single day, it is all they care about because is not their problem. Owner operators don't have it quite as bad on the compassion side, but they don't work much these days either. Potential employees beware. Unless you have no family and no responsibilities, GO ELSEWHERE!

 

Just wondering if Johndeere39b was still with R&J. Anybody else work for or have any thoughts on this company?

 

I quit r&j about 3 months ago only because, I live 2 hours from their terminal and I found a local gig making good money but I had a hard time leaving them. I was on their otr/regional board. A first year driver can expect to make $50,000 (I made $52,000) You get to know the dispatchers on a personal note and they take very good care of the equipment. They pay percentage and they are fair about it, some loads pay great money and some are fair but nothing is actually bad. All loads are customer loads so no brokers are getting a cut. I'd highly recommend them if your in their hiring area.
