    I've driven for J Rayl for almost six years. I initially applied for a job with them because they have the closest terminal to my house, but I was pleasantly surprised to find them to be one of the best employers I've had.

    Worst company to drive for. Bunch of lies. Horrible communication. Worst shop. Leadership doesn't care unless you have connections with the ownership family. It is by far a company to never drive for. I went through 14 trucks in 6 months. I will never recommend anyone to go here

    Not a bad company they do treat you well. They offer lots of bonuses and a decent referral program. Pay is good with a set salary. You can't make any more though is a downside. You get home every weekend with the dedicated and most OTR. They also have a local jobs. The trucks are 65 on the pedal and 68 on cruise. The do not allow pets in their trucks. The dispatchers are okay some can be rude.

    Great company, great people, they really care about what's going on in and out of the truck. Great miles and they will keep you moving as long as you have time on your clock. Great equipment, I've been here 2 years never had a breakdown, occasionally you'll get a crappy trailer but 9/10 times you'll have a good trailer. CEO is great, calls and check to see how you're doing and what she can do to fix any issues going on. I'm out of the VA terminal and all the dispatchers there are 10/10 and no I'm not exaggerating.

    Slow trucks safety nanny systems interfere with vechicle. Safety in heavy. Rush hour traffic dose. Not like to keep equipment clean no washing of trailer loads can be heavy sometimes but overall good trucks not set up to pull but to save fuel. No hustling powe or getting down the is fantasy no incentives for inspection 20 dollars. In 2016

    Driver / trainer with the company for 16 months. Home every weekend for min. 34 hr reset. Regional driving in a 2014 KW T-680 CNG. Paid $1k per wk for no-touch freight (good mix of live load/unload/drop-n-hook). Dispatch, planning, company personnel are always willing to listen if/when I've have any problems and try to resolve legitimate complaints. The garage / maintenance is fantastic... on or off the road, with service accounts, for tires with Goodyear and repairs with TA/Petro/Flying-J, and at my Akron terminal. It's not always perfect - as with any company there are going to be problems, and they can't please everyone - but I'm happy and have been treated well!
