RSS Trailer Repair & Fleet Solutions LLC

The typical workday involves arriving at the facility and operating a spotter truck to move trailers as assigned. However, equipment reliability appears to be a significant issue. Multiple employees reported frequent equipment breakdowns, including trucks with inoperative heating, air leaks, and several vehicles out of service for repairs during my visit. This raises concerns about the company’s maintenance practices and operational efficiency. The job itself is straightforward, involving a list of trailer moves, but the condition of the equipment may impact performance and safety.
Management
The management team has relatively short tenure, with the current manager having been with the company for three years. This may suggest a high turnover rate, which could be an area for further evaluation.
Workplace Culture
The workplace culture appears to prioritize short-term employment, with several employees indicating they are working toward obtaining their CDL and seeking opportunities elsewhere. This suggests limited long-term commitment among staff.
Challenges
The primary challenge is the condition of the equipment, which may pose safety and reliability concerns for employees performing their duties.
Positive Aspects
The role itself is manageable, with clear tasks assigned daily.
Additional Notes
Upon resignation, the company noted the lack of advance notice. However, communication records confirm that I informed the regional manager of my decision to leave, citing concerns about equipment reliability. The company operates under an "at-will" employment policy, which allows termination by either party without cause. However, the practice of reporting resignations to the DAC (Driver Accountability Clearinghouse) may deter employees from leaving without notice. Prospective employees should carefully consider these factors, including equipment maintenance and company policies, before joining.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good salary and benefits. They are willing to train people in how to operate the vehicles and working in the yard.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most sgressful part is their 12 hour policy for call in. If you work the weekday shift which is 10hrs, then its managsble. But weekends are 12hr shifts so you would have to call them before or at the end of your shift. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Vey chill and calming. But are very demanding when needed.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends on shift it can be either fast passing with movements or smooth with a few moves every few minutes.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Make your own schedule and sometimes the boss isn't there

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Boss micromanagement and little cooperation when it comes to getting trailers put out of service. When you ask the boss for help, he just tells you to try harder. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Outside all day everyday. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sometimes it was easy and other times it felt like everyone needed me at the same time and I hated that.

It’s alright working for them, would be better if you get paid more for your efforts and longevity. You can break your back and be super flexible all you want, favoritism a norm there, you’ll realize someone should be fired from how many times they show up late or at all while you struggle with life and rack up a few points then they don’t care to look out for you because you didn’t become friends with management or with managements friends so then your screwed. For the most part it doesn’t help to keep to yourself and just do your job and go home. Better off being a slacker so at least when they don’t look out for you you won’t feel like you wasted your energy. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Having 3 days off was the one and only good thing about this place.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This job is very unstable with shifts and leadership. Co workers are entitled and disrespectful and pay is inconsistent. Very clicky work environment.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unstable, confusing, disrespectful and uncomfortable.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You clock in using your phone, pre trip your truck and wait for moves to come upon the screen.

It’s relatively easy work for comparatively good pay. It can be a little stressful but the nature of being a 3rd party company working with other companies means anything like complaints and grievances don’t just fall on deaf ears. The manager is cool at my location specifically, not sure about others. All in all if you wanna work and get your 40 hrs (with plenty of OT if you want) it’s a good place to work at. Its definitely above average in the current job market for such a low level position.

I’ve been working here since 2020 and I love working with everyone at RSS. The management is very busy but still very helpful to all the technicians. All the techs get along, and often work together (if available) if someone is struggling or behind. As long as you show up, do your work and do it correctly, everyone is golden. Yes you have to work overtime sometimes, and some of the trailers can be raggedy to say the least, but that’s the name of the game with trailer repair. As long as you have a good work ethic you will succeed at RSS! Don’t think I would enjoy working anywhere else! 

YOU CAN'T GO TWO DAYS STRAIGHT BEFORE THE MANAGEMENT INTERFEERES WITH YOUR WORK. THEY WILL ASK YOU ANNOYING QUESTIONS and then pretend that they understand everything. In reality, they didn't know much about my job role, but their arrogant attitude prevented them from saying so. THE NOSY AND EVIL NATURE OF THE TOP MAANGEMENT INCREASED MY STRESS LEVELS, AND THEY EVEN PUSHED ME TO WORK TO THE EXHAUSTION POINT. SOON, THIS JOB BECAME TOXIC, AND I QUIT TO AVOID RUINING MY MENTAL HEALTH. Consider this as a huge warning. The management is awful and creepy!
