Not worth your time!!!!Out of four people who went to orientation nobody made it through. They lie to get you there. They don't check your work history, DAC report, or references UNTIL you have wasted your time getting there. You don't get paid for orientation until you spend 90 days working with them. SO, if they find a mistake your not getting paid at ALL. Your could have a perfect record, no tickets or accident like I did and if they find a small problem with your work history they will automatically disqualify you. Then, once they disqualify you, you don't get paid for orientation and you will be responsible to pay for the drug test and the physical from whatever money they owe you. So if you get a call from a recruiter called SARAH your best bet is to hang up the phone.

 

I worked for Rosedale from Jan 07' to June 12'. I can tell you they were a GREAT company to work for. They were the first company I ever worked for and they took me fresh out of trucking school. I never got a junk truck or bad equipment. My first truck was a 2003 international, which at the time was only 4 years old and that was only because they were short on trucks. I kept that truck for about 2 or 3 weeks and after that I got a 2005 Volvo which was only 2 years old. Then in 2009 I chose one of the new trucks available on the yard. I called Norm and I told him I wanted this particular new truck on the yard and he gave it to me just like that. It still had plastic on the carpet and mattress. I kept that truck until I left the company. They even tried to give me new 2011 but I kept my 2009 instead. Most of their trucks is only about 2 or 3 years from what I remember and I believe the flatbed division get the previous trucks the dry van division had when the new trucks come in. But even now when I see a Rosedale flatbed rolling down the highway the truck is a 2011 or newer. When I left in 2012 my truck was governed at 68 mph which isn't bad. I never had a problem and if I did was quickly resolved. I rarely had a problem with a backload. I never a problem getting home or taking some time off. Bottom line is this, that company gave me a chance when nobody would. They treated me like family and they know all their drivers by first name. That's the only OTR company I have ever worked for and If they had a local terminal here in Nashville, I would be back in a heartbeat!

 

Any current information? Pay, home time, equipment, training details, measure neck/bmi?

 

Awesome company to work for
