RCS TRANSPORTATION

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. This job is completely disorganized and unprofessional. Management doesn’t communicate, and you’re expected to figure everything out on your own. I wasn’t told about an important agreement form until the last minute, then got blamed and removed from my shift. They only care about the vehicles—not the workers. You sit around on shuttle buses for hours with people acting wild, and they expect a lot without giving clear direction. The paycheck is good, but the environment is toxic and not worth the stress.

Driving newly built Ford F-150 pickup trucks is your primary duty & the job is a sinecure. The primary challenge working for RCS Transportation as a casual unit driver is that you are not guaranteed a minimum number of hours in which you'll work. Additionally, you may bounce between working day shift (6:00am-2:30pm) and night shift (6:00pm-2:30am). It's difficult to make plans for life- if you're not available to work in relatively short notice, they'll stop calling.

Upper management at the corporate office is a complete joke.  They have unrealistic expectations and expect you to work 10-12 hour days.  They have terrible tempers and attitudes.  If you want to be belittled, called names, and yelled at....this is the place to work.  Yearly reviews and raises are non-existent, any complaints or concerns are completely ignored, and they do not care about their employees.  Terrble work environment, no work/life balance, not enough money for the hours, and unnecessary stress by upper management.

Worked for this company for years and never had an issue until 2 supervisors who didn’t like transfers came along. Might work for a few weeks and then be laid off for months. In 6 years probably only worked 3.5 years total with lay offs. pay is good but with lay offs you might make great money for a few months then struggle for a few months. Management positions will be worked every day with very few days off.

Driving for RCS enabled myself to haul  various load types from permit loads, flat, van, and doubles to bunkhouses. I learned how to navigate the greater Los Angeles area which in my opinion was the hardest part of the job. The best part of the job was that you were busy until every bit of the 200 plus loads were at the next location with most days avg. 600 miles.

Good group of people to work with, all have a positive attitude and are looking to get the job done. Feast or famine in terms of hours, a lot of potential for overtime pay when the work is there. The day is usually steady, never overly demanding, but maintains a rigid day to day routine. Problem solving skills are easily learned and needed to optimize output of units moved throughout the day.
