Pros

Ryder is a large company with a lot of value left resources. The mechanics are amazing.

Cons

The Management is old school and out of touch with todays culture. Most management lack the technology acumen in 2022. Outdated practices and not understanding the current employees will continue to lead to high turnover. Tokenism is heavily practiced at Ryder. Would work here again at all.

Pros

steady and stable work if you dont mind giving up your weekends constantly

Cons

barely competitive pay never in my life have i seen a company who cares so little about there employees. many routes have several hour gaps between stops because you have nothing better to do than sit at work doing nothing. If you are late to a distributer you must give the distributer double the amount of time that you were late on top of their window time. example if the distributer has an hour long window to load your truck and you arrive 30 minutes late they now have 2 hours to load your truck, reasons like traffic accidents or truck breakdowns are no excuse. if the distributer goes past their allotted time to load your truck ryder will continue to give them more and more time with zero repercussions for the distributer. so long as it only inconveniences the driver NO ONE CARES . lastly most of the equipment there is crap and doesnt work half of the time. So long as DOT wont get involved and they can still send the truck out they will despite countless truck writeups for issues on the truck to be fixed submitted by the drivers.

Pros

work is challanging, the company is always trying to innovate or improve processes.

Cons

work can be so challenging that it is soul draining. Morale in management is low at the best of times. Also with little or no support from upper management as they are also struggling with their job. This does lead to keeping your head down and just doing the job. What little training there is all about On the Job Training or getting mentored by a survivor. If you have ever managed union workers, you understand the issues with that.
