Default Ruan transportation

Does anyone have information on Ruan transportation? They have a terminal out of Bethlehem, PA. I've noticed they are hiring for tankers and van's.

If someone has information can you let me know please. I was curious if they pay OT. On their website it says the have fully paid benefits. That seems really good.

RUAN is MUCH LIKE RYDER. its a driver leasing company, which can also provide trucks and trailers as well. they can and usually also provide the FULL logistics a company needs for one monthly fee.

the benefits are comparable to industry standards, (if not slightly better) to compensate the driver for ALL HIS/HER TIME while on duty.

Ruan was "out here" in New England, but basically i believe left the area because RYDER was bigger and more powerfull, thusly cutting the costs of operations making it "cheaper" to hire from Ryder.

not a bad company (Ruan), many guys i have worked with over the years worked for Ruan and enjoyed thier time with them.

i say, GO FOR IT", and if you get assigned a job site you do not like, they can and often will "transfer" you to another location.

job advancements are available as well, as they "hire with-in" first, advertise later.

best of luck, you WILL LIKE THEM.

I have known 2 guys over the years that have worked for Ruan. Both pulling tankers out of different states. One drove in the 70's and the other about 2 years ago. They were both union drivers.

I've heard they have some terminals that are. In PA/GA they are not. I spoke with a recruiter today. They pay .36 cents a mile to start.
