To start off I will say this is my second tour with RTI. I am very happy with my miles, equipment, and my DM. I left thinking the grass was greener but what I found out is it most definitely not greener elsewhere. If you are looking for a company that will bend over backwards to make you happy then this is the place.
Needs some showers and a better driver's lounge and the restrooms need more attention than what they receive
The inside of the terminal renovated and added showers and laundry room. Awesome awesome
Been with ffe 7 yrs love it here
Completed orientation in Kansas City. Madison, the orientation supervisor did an exceptional job. She was very informative and thorough. Dealing with a number of different personalities in one room…I felt as though she was very patient. Very smooth orientation process. Will do a review on operations once I hit the road. So far RTI seems like it’s going to be a great company to work for.
So far day one of orientation all went pretty good I thought. Madison does a fine job of making everything clear to everybody the material she's presenting.
My first day with RTI was 08/02/23. I’ve had 1 or 2 wrinkles due to miscommunication that were ironed out, but overall my view of RTI remains the same…I think it’s a great company to work for. 2nd week my check wasn’t really what I thought it should be for someone with 15 years experience, but the third week came around and it was a lot better. I said that to say…You have to take the good with the bad in this current trucking economy. I’m on my second DM Luis Muro and he seems to be a good guy so far. RTI maintains its equipment. Any issues breakdown jumps right on it. The Kansas City & Owensboro maintenance shops both have facilities for drivers. You can shower, wash clothing or just relax in the lounge while getting repairs. All for free…no cost to the driver. That speaks millions for RTI. Giving an honest opinion…so far for the most part it’s been a decent experience with RTI. I would recommend RTI to other drivers. This is my second review. 3 months in God willing, I will give an update. I think the mixed reviews probably come from personal issues an individual may have had. And if it was perhaps an employee, I’ve learned you can’t allow one person to dictate how you feel about an entire outfit. I’ve encountered some great office personnel and drivers in my short time here. As of now I don’t see any of the bad stuff going on that the negative reviewers are mentioning. Hopefully, this review will help someone contemplating on onboarding with RTI. Prayerfully, my opinion doesn’t change by my 3 month review.
First started with them was the best company ever. Very appreciative of their drivers. Always kept me moving. A few months in something happened. People started quitting. Went through a few new dispatchers. Attitudes changed. Miles went way down. Did a lot of sitting. When I finally had enough and turned in my truck they made up a bunch of bogus stuff wrong with my truck and kept my personal escrow and my maintenance escrow. It's very sketchy over there now. Sarah tried hard and had a good attitude till I left. Then got a little rude. Can't ever get anyone over there to answer the phone. Hated to leave but had no choice. Hope they get back to the way they were.

It's great for a new driver. The key is too stay in touch with your driver manager and plan everything out don't expect they know what's going on when there always changes.
They work expeditiously to keep you rolling on the road, and also work with getting you home the times that you need to be there. Dispatchers and other office staff does a great job keeping up with the good and the bad things that you do to keep you in compliance with what you should be doing. Far most the best trucking company I've worked for. I would definitely go back if they had a suitable route for me.
If you are on the right account they give good mileage....... always communicate...... good home time....... good management....... good accounts......
What is the best part of working at the company? The people are very nice at RTI but the miles just aren’t there. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? No miles I never made over 2000 miles and sat every weekend. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? It’s a great work environment What is a typical day like for you at the company? Depends on what day really. If it’s during the week u can run but when the weekend gets here prepare to sit.
This is just about their Lugoff site. The work is fine but there is no accountability for production, management on the yard is useless!! Home office MICRO MANAGE, if there is a slow day they send drivers home. There is a constant turn over of drivers because of their not getting the hours consistently. Coworkers are ok, Target site is ok Management is NOT good!
Good place if you want to pay the bills and not have to run hard. Dispatchers wanna see you succeed not fail and will try their hardest to help you to do so.
What is the best part of working at the company? I enjoy the driving,a lot of things that was told to me before I got hired wasn't true What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Dealing with the staff,I have been lied to alot about things What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Some of the staff is very nice and respectful What is a typical day like for you at the company? I get stressed a lot,I have more bad days than good days
Not a good place to work. Managers do not care about safety within the yard. Hostler trucks had no air in 90 degree weather and no heat in freezing cold conditions. Managers do not communicate w’ employees, they just want you to come in and work without breaks or a lunch, your shift could be almost over and they just be sending you to lunch. You get finals after calling off one day. This job is not for someone who is trying to keep their CDL record clean, they do not care about safety in the yard and will put your license at risk. Lots of people quit on a weekly basis. Lastly, they do not require you to check any trailers before taking them on to the main road, and that is very unsafe. Everything about this job is wrong, from the ops managers down to the employees.
What is the best part of working at the company? Payroll Cut off on tues at midnight, then paid that friday. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Dispatch kids are just that, inexperienced kids. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? All work. No play. Move load. No home time What is a typical day like for you at the company? Wasted time. 300 mile days. No good dispatchers.

What is the best part of working at the company? They can’t get consistent freight. Seems the sales people get a touchy customer and one error happens and they can’t save an account. So my pay jumped all over the place. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? No consistent pay. They need a pay minimum. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Unknown. I was always on the road so I never really saw it.
I spend more time waiting on planners than I do driving. What good is higher pay per mile if you are not driving? Plus the planners don't work weekends. So if you don't have a load for Saturday. You are going to sit on your thumbs until midmorning Monday.
What is the best part of working at the company? They don't care about you they just want you to do the work What is the most stressful part about working at the company? When you have a problem upper management does not listen and then you don't have the right managers on site they do what they wish What is the work environment and culture like at the company? The job is not bad there's no communication What is a typical day like for you at the company? My typical day working I don't have a problem with management doesn't do what they're supposed to as far as other people not doing their job and the weight falls on you that's why I left
Freight has not been the best but try to offset with different types and locations.delivery times are kind of sketchy sometimes as well. Overall just not making enough
What is the best part of working at the company? RTI was a great company eight yrs ago but the company has went severly down hill with absolutely terrible management desisions especially hiring the present COO who had absolutely no experience actually running a company more like a used car salesman enough said What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Working for a company that used to have 85 per cent customer freight to almost no customer freight What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Cant be very good now absolutely no loyalty left towards the drivers anymore
your pay statement is different from your bank statement! It doesn’t match! So money is always missing. I also find myself doing more that 14 hours locally and going home late at night.. there maintenance team like to lie to the Drivers if your truck has a breakdown, they will let you sit there for hours. When you call them on the phone they would just answer without saying hold on and they just switch to the other call without saying they’re going to put you on a hold and I think that is very rude.
They pay good money per mile however you don’t get the miles. Also I was hired for regional but ended up driving OTR. The month I was there I sat for a total of 10 days I was out. Not counting the 5 days of hometime I had.
Decent miles decent pay typical OTR job if you like OTR been here a while never treated bad by dispatch, never messed up my pay yet. Good facilities compared to my last company
The miles starting off is great you run Atleast 2800-3000 miles. But then again you have to light a fire under management butt for them to get you moving. There’s no such thing as regional if you wanna be close to home you’ll get low miles 2200-2300 mile weeks. Reason why they get 2 stars it’s because of the lack of communication management has with the drivers also the Waco Fleet is the poorhouse.
