Excellent company
Driver Representative (Current Employee), Moncton NB – November 25, 2012
Pros: hours are good, wages are satisfactory
Cons: the seurity doesn't seem to be there anymore.....
Supervisors are great to deal with , customers are pleasant to work with as well

Due to restructuring, our jobs are no longer secure, so it is time to seek other option

I figure I should return to operating equiptment, and what better place would be then in Alberta.

Great Company with poor salary

Really enjoyed working with Ryder. They taught me a lot. However the salary was very poor. Great place to learn your craft but unfortunately, if you want to make market wages you have to leave...

the bosses will screw you out of everything
truck driver (Former Employee), university park il – May 3, 2013
Cons: no pay for loading truck or fueling your truck
Management lies to you constantly and they short your pay consistently. You can complain to Ryder HR and they do nothing.If you like working long hours and make small amounts of money,this is the company for you.

THIS COMPANY LIES TO YOU MORE THAT THEY TELL THE TRUTH!!
Driver (Current Employee), Tampa, Fla – April 26, 2013
Pros: the drivers that i work with
Cons: everything that ryder stands for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a warning to all the drivers in the Tampa Bay area to not go to work for Ryder ! . The managers are told to lie to the drivers and they do ! I work for them now and it is the biggest mistake I have ever made in my career ! My check changes every week.. they change the way they pay you every week and you cant take vacation when you have earned – more... it ! When you call HR to complain you are told to contact your manager. When you contact your manager they tell you to go back to HR !! You cant access the employee manuel because it is constantly being revised.. so they can change the rules in midstream and not pay the drivers the time that they are owed. They are being sued currently for this very thing and have been sued in the past by drivers and lost in court.. at least the judges in these cases could see how corrupt Ryder is ! They dont care if you have been here 10 years .. 20 years.. no loyalty at all.. they will keep your vacation payr and not feel bad about it. The money that they dont pay you for your vacation goes into the managers pocket as a bonus.. be warned.. check this information out regarding the vacation pay for Ryder,, they also are putting cameras in our trucks in the next couple of weeks so they can watch the drivers constantly.. that way they wont have to pay safety bonuses out either.. more money in the managers pocket. I am writing this in hopes that another driver wont make this same mistake that I did. I have been here to long to get out.. but you can stop yourself from being put in the same position.. run away from this company and spread the word to other drivers that you know so that wont apply here either. Last comment their benefits are horrible and expensive.. another reason not to work here !! By the way Google them.. there are stories about the drivers that have sued them for not paying vacation pay that was owed.. – less

Local Logistics Driver/ Safety Director (Former Employee), Miami, FL – April 25, 2013
Pros: responsible, respectful, intregrity
Cons: they lost the account
I worked for Ryder's account with Nissan Forklift in Marengo, IL. Great equipment, great pay, great hours. I would still be there if they had not lost the account. To sum it up; Best job I ever had.

I'm glad I am no longer an employee
billing (Former Employee), alpharetta – April 23, 2013
Cons: management
I have to say that there really is a life "after" Ryder ! I worked for this company for almost 12 years. I was a hard worker dedicated , and often picked up the slack of others in my department. Changes in the company came about and I changed right along with them . I never disrespected my boss or senior management and always did what was asked of me – more... and then some . I was very involved with many of the committee's within the company , and got along great with my co-workers. Management sadly does not have a clue as to who is a good worker and is not . I found myself asking why me when I was let go , but today it really doesn't matter , as I feel that they did me the biggest favor. They kept people who were not performing in the team , people that were consistently behind , taking off work , or not pulling their weight. Those people are still there today , and why I ask ... because they either know someone or are willing to be a kiss butt. Sorry I cant do that , went to my boss numerous times with issues , problems with work all to be ignored. I have heard a lot of people who have transferred out of that department and in to others just to preserve their jobs. The only thing that I can say that I miss about this old job is some of the nice and wonderful people I met along the way . Some with whom I still keep in contact with , and sadly I hear them day in and day out complain about how bad things are the hours they are being asked to work , and the time they feel they are missing out with their families. I feel bad for them , but on the same note , they choose to stay and choose to work under those conditions. I am glad I got laid off , and glad that I am no longer part of a company that degrades you , wont listen to your suggestions , and don't care for you as a person . My time has come and gone , I will never recommend this company to anyone looking for a job , and I would never go back . – less

Not a bad company
Logistics Coordinator (Current Employee), Novi, MI – April 20, 2013
Typical work day you answer phones and route freight for whatever account you are on. You ensure on time delivery, conference calls, award bids. Everyone works as a team and even management will jump in a help when needed. Best part of the job is being able to learn new things and learn about other customers

Markie – May 7, 2013

I had a phone with the company for the same position any suggestion if I get the call back for the job.

Marie1 – May 9, 2013

My suggestion take as many notes as possible if hired and ask as many questions as possible because on some accts the more interest you show the better for you and plus some accts will put you on your own after a few days.

Dispatching Clerk/Office Manager (Former Employee), Columbia, Md – April 9, 2013
Pros: willing to teach
Cons: scheduling in last minute deliveries not really a con but best i could think of
I had a great boss. Sterling Harlston was one of the best bosses I've ever had. You go to work get your job started and leave at the end of the day. He did not play office games just wanted the job done and done right the first time. He made sure you knew your job and the equipment to complete it.
