    So you're saying Ryder hires drivers that don't change their underwear? :p

    Almost like that was the whole plan.

    It's not like government EVER tries to reduce prices anywhere.

    After using their rental service for breakdowns I would never work for them. Their customer service is blah, and unorganized and their equipment is blah, and misused and abused and not serviced properly.

    Thats why the company I work for exist. Ryder needs drivers they call and were there in less than 4 hours. Centerline does service Ryder here in CA, So far they have had easier loads, way easier than the UPS logistic loads. We run book legal.

    Ryder is a truck leasing company and a distrubtion network.. They are just waiting til the trucks have no drivers so they don't have to hire anyone...

    You did the right thing for the most part. A face to face may have been better. Now though, when you do a resume, you weren't terminated, you didn't have an accident and you still have your CDL. Glad you got out.
     
    Tug Toy Thanks this.

    Ryder makes plenty of money leasing trucks and not repairing them when you write them up.

    I worked for Ryder back in the early 80`s. I'm really surprised to hear this. I think its not Ryder, but the manager they put in there. This is not Ryders policy to run anything illegal. Just a bad manager in there, and will be gone soon.
     
    Studebaker Hawk, Lepton1 and Tug Toy Thank this.

    Well I think your right, she was getting help with loads for awhile and they were much more compliant with HOS. After she took over this task things went down hill in a hurry.
     
    Tug Toy and Wargames Thank this.

    In today's "Right to Work" environment, unions are on their last, faltering legs.

    Bow to your corporate masters, peasants!
