I left there in may of 2020. There has been a pay increase since I posted the rates but I don’t know how much. As far as I know each run pays a set amount regardless of whether a home daily, system, or team runs it. As I said in the thread each terminal is different. Some runs are good others are not. Hopefully someone with more current info will chime in. R&L seems to be one company that city guys can make more money than linehaul which seems opposite at a lot of other LTL’s. Don’t get me wrong, some line guys do VERY well both solo and team but on average city seems to make more
I do know teams are paid at a higher rate than linehaul. Not sure about the rate for system drivers. Every run is flat rate. There's supposedly an hour built in for drop/hook and fueling for every run. If you make a stop you'll get an extra hour pay. I think you should have asked those questions before you signed on.
a recruiter told me they pay by the run but it would be 65-68cpm but they tend to lie sometimes

Eight years there and I never knew teams get higher rate, I always thought they did well because of the number of trips they could do. Learn something new everyday I guess
I asked about drop=hooks and they said it was built in the run the recruiter said the CPM should be 65-68 CPM but recruiters tend to lie just to get you in a truck that's why I'm trying to find a systems driver because anything under 61cpm isn't worth it to me. He said systems driver make $1600-1800 a week
I think their figures by post speed limit whatever it is reduce it by 10 then they divided that number by how many miles it is then they add an hour for fuel and drop and hooks then times by hours. here an example posted spend is 65 the run is 600 miles. 600 divided by 55= 10.90 plus one hour for drop and hooks so 11.90 then times that by the rate they give. that's why every run is different because maybe posted speed limits are different

You might be on to something there. I never could figure it out myself
but if it's a flat rate for speed at 50mph then the rate the recruiter gave me would be right on point at 65cpm-68cpm example you drive 500 miles /50miles per hour is 10 plus the 1 hour drop and hook and fuel thing would be 11-hour rate is $29.90 they told me 11x$29.90 328.9 or 500 x65cpm = $325 only time will tell I will keep you posted
can we smoke in RL trucks in not hauling hazmat

At XPO, we get paid the same cpm, no matter how long or short the run is. Also we charge them for everything! Hook, fuel, drop, clean windows, small repairs, anything that isn’t actually driving, we are paid our hourly rate. Is it not that way at R&L?
I feel like the CPM should be a set rate they shouldn't pay different rates that don't make any sense and if they want to pay different rates tell the driver the rates have then posted on the wall in the driver's room. but the rates and how they come up with the rates is a BIG SECRET. BUT THAT COMPANY IS A COOL COMPANY MY BOSS IS COOL ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS THE RATES. AND SOME OF THE DRIVER AT MY YARD ARE JUST DRAMA QUEENS BROWN NOSES . WHAT IS THE RATE AT XPO?

Top scale, TODAY, $.69 a mile, goes up to $.71 end of may.
Well at least you guys have fast trucks. I’m not even at the highest regional pay rate and the basic 540 mile run from my barn pays out $464 a night. That’s with no delay pay or via added in, only miles, drop and hook, and fuel. I’ve never seen R&L have signs up looking for drivers either, you guys must be treated very well. I’m not trying to sound like an a$$ either. Just comparing apples to apples. .6948 mileage 30.33 per d&h .25 for fuel. Hourly for delay if your hooks are not ready after your lunch. FXF

Are you still with R&L if so did you ever find out what the official rate is? I know they pay flat rate and rate Changes depending on terminal, but it said on the website that you start at top pay which doesn’t really make since considering they don’t pay by the mile or hourly. How would any one be able to tell if we are actually getting paid top pay if it’s basically a number that the company cames up with instead of paying drivers by the hour or by cpm like other companies out there like sstes, odlf, saia.
