I have a buddy trying to get on with RR. He recently called RR and asked that same question, why no sprinters and they told him they didn't know what he was talking about. They said we take on sprinters and wanted to know who told him false information. Let's get the info right, inquiring minds want to know.
.75 -.85 average now, with the odd 1.00 or better because we do get percentage.....some small loads pay very, very well...
hey NTime said No Sprinters.....I said..."very few"....They will take sprinters IF they can do 3,000 and very few can...
And my buddy told me the recruiter told him they do. So he and I are confused as to what the real answer is.
Here's the scoop. They make you get a scale ticket. If after that your 2500 sprinter can magically carry 3000 lbs your good. I had a friend who was basically hired, when he had to get a scale ticket proving 3000 lb legal capacity the hire was off. Me thinks the recruiter might believe sprinters can haul 3000 because they already have a few there.
Thats what I was trying to say....now if mine was stripped down to like off the line new I remember my first weigh in I was like 5500 no insulation no goodies ..bare bones...
some could do the same thing, hire on bare bones and add to the van once hired on...sneaky move
What Xiggi said times 2... i also had a good friend with a 2016 sprinter hired on .... the day before he went to orientation they brought up the scale ticket which they had 2 weeks earlier when all paperwork started , insurance, etc.... i was pissed to say the least because i had brought up the legal weight issue 2 weeks prior at the start of his hiring ... didn't want to waste everyones time .... from what i have been told by a high ranking Active Aero / RRE employee that the 3000 lb issue comes from the Mother office Road Runner Transportation ....

Guess I gotta come down on my rates this week. I ran two loads totaling 2400 miles for $1 per mile but I don't think I
ll continue to do that. Almost had one for $1.05 a mile on Friday to San Diego but the dimensions were too wide.
Weeds aren't growing this time of year but I'm sure he's out there somewhere on i70 west bound getting his chains ready
sorry bout crowding the bar...this went sideways right from Post #4....
some threads are like trying to follow a trail of crazy foam....
I don;t look at it like 1 load at a time....I try--- SAID I TRY to balance more on a monthly average rate.....do some low ones (not money losing) and toss in some higher paying ones and take the average
Sorry to Timbo.....for the off topic
