ROYAL TRUCKING COMPANY

Royal is a great company, it does put the driver 1st. The downfall is there inner departments lack of communications which causes a lot of confusion between dispatch/safety,maint departments which puts the driver in between confusing and mismatched directions when there is situations is involving all 3. Overall though, they all do very well when working on individual situations and helping the driver overcome whatever is holding them up or clearing up any problems/mistakes they may have made.I believe that if there was more in person involvement with the staff and drivers to express things that are problematic for the efficiency of the system, and someone to mediate the things, it would help resolve any thing no matter how small or big it may seem. Royal is a well oiled machine, but every machine needs preventive maintenance, to keep the vibrations out.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It’s a Mississippi base company. I got to shake hands with the owner. He appreciates his drivers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I had to make a delivering in Atlanta during hurricane Sally I was hauling skyscraper glass, and I was scared I was gonna break one

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Accidents can happen. It’s important to communicate with your dispatchers and safety Director. As long as you were focused good things can happen with this company as a driver.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Do you pre-trip inspection of your truck check the weather and the direction you’re driving make a point to figure out where you wanna park and make that a goal to get there

This is one of the best companies you can work for in North Central Mississippi (and Villa Rica George). I had the pleasure of working as an OTR driver then moved into the head office as fleet manager in the Van Department then moved over to Flat bed for a bit as well.  This company likes to promote from within whenever possible.  Many of the office staff, Maintenance, Safety and Training departments are former drivers as well. If a person had good work ethics and willing to work in a team environment you can do well with Royal Trucking.  I had a wonderful time learning and growing with this company.  I highly recommend this company. 

I’ve been with Royal for 10 months now and the only reason is to get my experience because you know no company will take you without a year or two but Royal pay is trash if you otr you get paid 45 and up tops out at 50 and don’t get me started on regional you only top out at 45 but what’s crazy you go from West Point to Texas to Ohio to savanna like these are good ole miles but only getting paid 500 to 650 don’t let them use you soon as my year hits I’m gone like do better

Easy money great dispatch and great trucks

It was a great company, all the dispatchers were great, the owner was personal, mechanics were fair. I honestly cant say enough. Best company I have ever worked for! Small enough to k ow your name but big enough to get the job done! I was just ready to be home with my son. I honestly miss working with this amazing group

Quick to fuss, slow to dispatch. Waiting for loads, trucks are basic, trailers are trash due to so many inexperienced drivers creating more work than the shop can handle

Tell you in orientation they have plenty of loads. You might do 2 loads and they bring u back to the yard waiting on a load and the never have them. They are very disrespectful when your tryna ask them something. You can't bring the truck home at all according to their policy. Never wanna fix anything thats broken on the truck.

Slow to dispatch , will not bring you in on time when asking for home time. They still try to reload you if ask for a whole day off, so you still have to wait to get loaded instead dropping the load like on a Thursday and come in to the yard. Instead they load you up then you have to wait for the load sometime then drive the whole Friday away 

Good company for first time drivers really couldn't complain.you may always have a issue with certain people,but you can't account everyone else for there actions.so overall the company was good people who would work with you.
