      Pros

      Decent benefits, and you start with vacation time

      Cons

      Work 12+ hours a day, Half that time spent on conference calls talking about what needs to get done instead of actually working on it. Roadside Response calls you at all hours of the night all the time and you have to stay on the phone with them until they get the driver situation resolved. Promotions in DFW seem to be on a "buddy" system. Work life balance is horrible. to many things to try to manage instead of having dedicated people for the task you will be expected to do everything....... you've been warned.

      Pros

      Good pay, benefits and tools to get the job done. Otr drivers make bonuses and are treated very well (when always on guard about safety). Plenty of work if your dedicated to long hours as any good or bad paid trucking job. Its dedicated work, meaning you're on a certain type of account with its own customer they supply moving freight for. The best kind of work in my opinion. If for some reason your account is out of a job Ryder has a lot of jobs that you can transfer to without losing seniority at the company. No need to fill out new applications.

      Cons

      You are completely under the gun for any mistakes with DOT and its unacceptable to Ryder for any missed permits or paperwork, mechanical or physical problems that are left unattended. You may have to switch trucks when yours is in the shop and a rental sub is provided. Yet the rental dept will give you a truck completely unsatisfactory for the road with missed paperwork, decals like DOT stickers and even company name. Also rental trucks are very filthy and they won't really have much simpathy for you. Depends on what kind of manager you have to meet your concerns. Lastly being a truck driver is a con all by itself, nobody cares about your long hours and customers don't care about violating log hours. They just need there freight. Also electronic logs make it hard when you ten minutes away from your terminal and out of hours. So plan on staying in the truck another night.
