Pros

Pay and benefits and schedule

Cons

Management at the local level is really out of touch with the drivers. The first line supervisors won't even come to the yard to see what's going on. Dispatchers are all new to trucking and have no clue as to how to dispatch...your dispatch will change 3 times before you even get out of the yard. They play favorites with the drivers that kiss up to them by never sending them on lousy runs. Management seems really disconnected and not clear on what they are doing. Ryder as a company is probably a good outfit, but the local operation in Visalia is a very poorly run operation

Pros

Great hours, I have an awesome OS and OM. I was salary exempt so if I worked over 40 hours I was paid hourly after that. I was also paid weekly which was extremely nice.

Cons

No relocation assistance for in-state promotions.

Pros

You get to work on real supply chain problems that actually matter to operations, not just theoretical stuff. Remote flexibility is solid and the work-life balance is fair. The tech stack is modern (Snowflake, Azure, Power BI) and if you're someone who takes initiative, you'll get the chance to own things end-to-end. The people you work with day-to-day are genuinely good and most teams have a collaborative culture.

Cons

Growth from senior level and beyond can be painfully slow even when you're clearly doing the work above your role. Leadership and org changes happen often which resets your visibility and momentum with whoever is advocating for you. Some areas still lack clear ownership so things fall through the cracks or land on whoever is willing to pick them up. Pay doesn't always reflect the scope of what you're actually doing.
