    Do not work for they are the worst. I got canned for covering the inward facing camera which by federal privacy law is illegal anyway. (Same as a camera in a hotel) When a new employer called they told him I was fired for a safety violation so that is what type of people they are crap

    Im going to keep this very simple because thats exactly what it is!! Dispatch 5 star, Mr AJ and his crew they will definitely get you home when you ready to go home! Location 1 star, they said its an South Eastern Regional account but its not! They kept me South for 1 week and then started sending me up north to Indiana and Chicago, it wouldn't be a problem if the money added up. Which brings me to my next title. Money/ pay checks, if i could go below no stats I would! I worked for 2 weeks and only grossed $1,450 dollars. I made over that amount when I drove local. Safety 5 stars, Mr Brandon awesome Guy, very understanding and down to earth guy. Micro manager 5 stars, they dont hassle you like most companies!! I just dont understand why you never see atleast a $1,000 dollars even if you travel far like I did. I ran from Mississippi to Indiana loaded and picked up in Chicago and drove to Ft Pirece FL and only received $1,250 dollars on my check, if it had been any other company I would have at the least got 1,800 dollars up to $2,500. Like I said something just dont add up at all but I should have seen the red flags when I looked at the reviews and to top it off, the day I pulled into the shop and seen about a 100 brand new Macks tractors in the yard because drivers either quit or the company can't get no one to fill them seats!! I can't blame no one. People just dont realize we also have family to feed. You can't, I repeat can't make a living off $900.00 dollars a week!! We gone from our family to make a living and this how trucking companies are treating us now! Sad sad sad! Not to mention during my last week at the company, 4 drivers or more had already quit. I spoke with the guy who was in orientation with me after the drivers quit and said he was quitting too. Well whatever yall did with the rest of my money, hope yall needed it, because I let GOD fight my battles. All I can do is pray for this company!!! I will not be taking advantage of!!!

    I had worked there for 4.5 yrs, they let me go, after they stated I wasn't answering my phone, I had att pull up my call history, not one call between when I called them at 1630pm on a Friday, till the following Tuesday telling me to empty out my truck and to the #### off their property. If I had known they were slowly getting rid of drivers that were getting close to being vested in their stock options, I would have quit a few years back. My miles went from 2500 a week to barely a thousand, those tractor supply loads were barely any miles. I would not recommend this company to anyone no matter how much experience they have I would rather go back to cr England, and take a pay cut. At last due to this I got a job with a company that I do 2400-3300 miles a week.

    I put in my 2 week notice and did everything correctly, i even gave them an extra week after begging me to stay. They did not give me my $700 that was owed to me from what they took from me from the beginning. I worked there from 2009 until 2024 Old Tr# 123168

    Don't even waste your time here. No money to be made. Trucks are filthy. Truck was infested with cockroaches and they wouldn't switch my truck and told me to buy roach spray. Couldn't be ran enough to bring in $600 a week.

    Robert was running it was a great company. Now it's average at best. Driver facing cameras. Paladin (management company) will fire you quick. Lowes loads outbound. Backhaul can be anything. SE regional 95% of freight. Breakdown pay is tough. Have to stay on top of it to get paid. Weekly home time if you need/want. But not going to get but 2k-2.3k miles per week. Average equipment. 67mph. Govern

    I'm really happy at RBI. I haven't had a problem with dispatch or maintenance. We have gotten detention and breakdown pay without a problem. We get all the miles we want. If we need a certain day, whether it is a weekend or weekday they accommodate us. They truly hire you to retire you and we don't plan on going anywhere.

    if your lucky you will get maybe 1000 miles, they are in the middle of a restructioning at the office in cairo georgia, and they have let go over 30 drivers in the month of october, due they stated those drivers arent putting in miles on the truck, how can you put miles on the truck when your waiting for loads after a tractor supply load, (they are maybe 200-250 miles and that includes the deadhead, they use to run lowes stores thru the southeastern US but over the last few years they been losing stores. The are very bad at giving you breakdown pay (even when its their fault, their mechanics barely know how to do anything but sit on the butts all day), the yard is a joke, nobody wants to work over the weekends, so the yard becomes a virtual maze to try to drop or pick up trailers, but i think because of the covid-19 hype they got to many drivers, and now they are shedding them as fast as they can find a reason to cut them.

    This company treats drivers like trash. Talk down to you. Cuss you. Threaten to fire you. They have a screwed up dispatch system, 2 different dispatches. One outbound and one inbound. You only get to pick outbound load. Then the other dispatch gives you what they want and you have no say. They don't want you home on the weekends. That's why they word their ads weekly. Fuel stops that make no sense. Forget about maintenance, favorite phrase is "I'll have to order parts". I was miserable there from day one! Oh and the so called yard in Valdosta. No shower,drivers room smelled of cigarette smoke. Get ready for a truck full of sand every time you go there.
