If you are a truck driver looking for a good local company that you can count on, RUN AWAY FROM THIS ONE! Their treatment of the drivers that work for them is among the worst I have experienced in 23 yrs as a truck driver. The owner, Rick Robinson, has the openly stated opinion that drivers are ""a dime a dozen"". Worse, when you quit, they will put outright lies on your DAC report and try to make you unhireable and then call you in a couple of weeks to see if you would like to drive for them again. Their dispatch process is unfathomable. It is supposed to go by senority but you will find often that you do a 400 mile run and someone junior to you doing a California run that you were never offered.\r
They pay 33.5 cents/mile. After 10 yrs, you go to 34.5 cents/mile. They will keep $1000 of your money in escrow and, although they will say otherwise, you will never see this money again. I sincerely hope, for your own quality of life, that you never work for this company. Even Swift is better than these crooks!
Pros: Can't think of a single thing to recommend re: Robinson Transport
Cons: The Owner, dispatchers, poor treatment of drivers, very bottom of pay scale.
