I was looking at an ad posted by R&J Transportation and wondered if anyone had any feedback or reviews to offer of how they treat their owner/operators.
Thanks!

Do you mean RJR? I've never heard of an R&J.

It's actually R&J... but I got my answer...
I had them email a copy of the agreement and it's quite amazing to me.
They charge a 5% fee for "PAYING" their contractors!
It comes down to a choice the contractor has to make at the front end: get paid in a timely manner such as what's normal 3-10 days depending on when the run ends, OR get paid (for no fee) when the company ACTUALLY gets their money in 30-60 or even 90 days! They also take a $2 fee each time they make a direct deposit into your checking account. I find this unbelievable. Oh well... back to my search...

You got their number for sure.. 5% off the top is about all the profit that's left to take.
I just can't justify it.

What is the % for o/o overall?
With the thin margins most carriers run, that has to be a sure way to kill your business.

They pay $.80 to $.90/mile (depending on the run) with nothing added for FSC.
But I am sure they offer you lots and lots of miles.
