Reviews for Drivers That Work for Reliable Carriers

1. Hey all! My human being has asked me to see if anyone hither has anything to say about Reliable Carriers? Their website is geared toward customers, not employment info. He'due south been driving for Waggoner for 13 months at present. The other twenty-four hours he met a Reliable Driver at a fuel island, and was impressed with what the commuter told him, but, we know, 1 driver may accept a different experience with a company than another. Then far we know they haul high-end autos, prototypes to automobile shows (meaning long times out for automobile show circuits), good money, bigger trucks (this drivers wife was taking a shower in the truck while he was fueling), and the possibility, plain, of a rider policy then I can spend time on the truck with him. Any other info would be profoundly appreciated.

3. how does he similar waggoners? i was thinking of giving them a call. good hometime?

4. I'1000 non sure exactly what the hometime policy is by the book, so to speak, but I believe information technology's every ii weeks. Right at present he's staying out a calendar month at a time, running out in California, Arizona, Utah, considering that's where the money is, but before they shut downward the northeast he was domicile every other weekend. Pretty much, he tells them when he wants to be home about a month ahead of fourth dimension. Some drivers alive well-nigh terminals and get home during the calendar week for a night at to the lowest degree one time a week. Overall, they've given us more than than any other company he'south worked for. They have paid benefits, give quarterly productivity and damage bonuses (ane cash, 1 a Sears gift card). Withal, they do not pay deadhead, and it's not uncommon for him to deadhead 600 miles or more. They do pay for sitting, but they deduct information technology from your bonus if you take it. Also, CRC dispatches now, and they don't exercise quite as good a job, sending him past terminals with runs to some other where he has to wait and be put on the lath for a run. I believe the pay is by the mile for used cars, and percentage for new cars, plus loading and unloading and skidding for both. If you've never hauled cars, the best advice he would give you lot is to hang in there, the first few months it's gonna seem like it takes forever to load, learning which cars are strapped, or chained, and how, loading to get weight and elevation right, etc. If you take any other questions, I'll be glad to enquire him for you. Good luck!

5. My husband is a carhauler and I volition ask him if he has heard anything practiced/bad about Reliable, IF he has I will post information technology here saturday morning.....

7. luvmyhubby, are you folks owner operators? i heard owner operators hauling cars make skillful money. friend of mine says he pulls 200k per yr take domicile. Dose this sound correct?

8. Luv's hubby pulls for PMTG, and is a visitor driver. Reliable is, as far as I know, an Owner-Op company (hence the rolling apartments).

   200K per year GROSS sounds more realistic, if he is bringing home 200K, then that would be freakin' amazing!

9. thanks wallbanger, what should i expect on hauling cars per year net?

10. Distressing bud, I take not driven a parking lot, then my numbers are 2d hand. I have a friend, who used to drive for Cassens, and was always bragging about bringing home around $100k/twelvemonth. I think that number was a piddling high, probably more like eighty-90k, because he has been with the visitor for five years, before which he was hauling cars for an boosted ten years.
    With the other companies (PMTG,DAS for instance) I would wait that you tin can brand $sixty-70k/yr.

11. thanks, thats what i'one thousand looking for.

12. In that location are a hundred rumors about Reliable, that in no small part adds to the mystique. Hither are a few facts for y'all simply to clear the air.
    1. Reliable has Owner Operators, a few company drivers, and Lease drivers (not lease buy just charter) There are normal and big trucks in each class.
    2. The average income is in a state of flux due to the economy just G clear at 1 time would accept been a very depression baseline to start from. Todays numbers range wildly depending on the driver, type of trailer, and right place correct fourth dimension.
    3. The big trucks are just one function of the mystique, information technology is a common error that nosotros don't have much weight. My truck and trailer are 58,000 lbs empty creating a abiding gross weight problem, but it'south worth the problem.
    4. Reliable doesn't recruit drivers, ever. There is a file three feet thick with applications of people hoping to get signed on.
    A. Nigh new hires are teams
    B. Step 1 is finding out who yous need to talk to and what names y'all need to drop, thus giving the impression of being "screened" by a current commuter.
    C. Being financially solvent. If yous don't take $xv-twenty,000 laying around for startup costs your ordinarily out of luck. (Truck paint, PTO, operating upper-case letter, etc.)
    D. Being patient yet assertive in following upwardly on your application, should you get that far. Information technology only took me iv years to get on with experience in specialized automotive transportation. ie: enclosed high cease

    There is no easy road to riches anymore and you volition work by the indicate of normal man limits. An enclosed motorcar transport is 4-five times the work of an open rack or curtain side. The cars are unremarkably FAR more expensive if non irreplaceable and the customers can be a chip, permit's say, eccentric. You have to exist willing to stay out 3-nine months depending on the book of business, put your entire life aside, Reliable isn't a job it's a lifestyle. Further y'all take to exist willing to work in temps from -0 to over 160 degrees inside the trailer in the Canadian North and the desert with no air moving and heavy exhaust fumes building within the trailer. Yous need to exist an expert on substantially every car made for a turn of the century fist build to the latest Lambo. The customer gets nervous if yous don't know how to operate the car, and some can exist VERY tricky. Just starting some cars if you don't know the tricks of that model and year tin exist a claiming, and then your pushing if you can't get her going, that sucks. Oh and exist willing to run like a team in a solo truck, or merely pull off the incommunicable if y'all are a team ie: 8-10,000 miles a week and you load, unload, and necktie in everything.

    I've loved my years with Reliable and the Friends I've made forth the way. It's an crawly visitor, but it'due south not for most people. The experience, accidents, MVR'south ect don't fifty-fifty need to be mentioned. Reliable is the aristocracy guild of the industry'south very best operators and nosotros take the greatest pride in that. It takes a while even afterwards getting signed on to prove yourself to the driver's in the fleet. The office is easy, the other drivers y'all piece of work with everyday are the ones you take to impress.

    I hope this helps, I'm non trying to terminate anyone from coming aboard. I just want the truth to be known and hope that if it'south not the right fit for someone reading this they can save themselves a lot of time and trouble. The prevalent attitude with reliable driver is often misunderstood to exist arrogance. That is non the example with nigh. The attitude is pride and dedication. The Reliable driver has nigh zip in common with a truck driver aside from using as truck to preform the task. It's all virtually the customers and the cars, the trucks are the piece of cake part.

    All-time of Luck
