Rude-Transportation

They pay you reasonably good with no overtime pay. Routes are pretty good, and line haul trucks are kept up to dot compliance. They're city local trucks are not kept up, and slowly fall out of compliance after they were purchased for line haul after a few years. So if it's a 2020 it will be pretty much junk in 5 years.  Truck was in the shop every 2 weeks or so, and got called immature for wanting to drive newer equipment. Trucks are glider kits. Lots of issues with trailers also. Mostly air leaks since previous drivers didn't wanna report leaks since they thought they could keep running it without getting caught or wanted to f me over one of the two. I liked my fleet manager though. He was pretty chill. We didn't talk all that much, but he was respectful. Felt like a cult more than anything. Any hostility you got canceled pretty hard socially. I wouldn't work here again if I had the choice. Dissapointing  that I worked so hard and meet or exceeded requirements everytime, only to be degraded and my name slandered. Never missed a delivery or pickup all ways first one back to end the day. Just disgusting. 

Start work at 10pm and would end approx 6am. Pick up 45' trailer and tractor in Redfield SD loaded with outbound freight and drive to Wolsey SD and pick/connect another 45' trailer. Drive to Sioux Falls and deliver paperwork and freight to the SF dock. Break up the trailer combo and back them into the dock doors for unloading. Fuel my truck and do my paperwork. Wait for inbound freight for approx 2 hrs. When freight was ready, get paperwork, connect semi/trailer combination and return to Wolsey SD. I would break my set in Wolsey and another Rude employee would pull each trailer into Redfield separately. The reason for the drop/hooks in Wolsey is because it is illegal to pull this "Turnpike" combination between Wolsey and Redfield on Hwy 281. Would arrive in Redfield, turn in paperwork and back trailers into the Redfield dock.

This is a private family owned trucking company that has several terminals in the upper Midwest. It is more family oriented and therefore has a  more relaxed atmosphere. The job can become tedious, so you need to stand up, stretch, visit or just mix it up a bit. You need to be extremely accurate when typing delivery receipts.

worked for 4 years, was not given opportunity to hire on permanent or to get a raise even though I asked. Direct supervisor was good to work for, upper management that was based in another city, did not do much to help their employees.

Rude is a great company to work for. I have always enjoyed the camaraderie with my fellow coworkers. The Rude’s truly care about their employees success and wellbeing!

An LLC. driver has a need to be versatile and be ready for many different situations from driving conditions to the customers.  Rude allows for a person to gain this kind if experience and helps in the development of their drivers.

Very bad experience with them I left because management  was good but just hired the wrong supervisor he cursed @employees and when you tell management about they take his side and I would of loss it but I left and found better 


I enjoyed everyday while working there! The paycheck was reasonable and the benefits were good. In addition, the supervisors were pleasant and had a great relationship with all the co-workers.

Basically you dispatch pick them up from where they're at take them to where they're going use the last 3 digits of your mileage when you get there and then when you drop them off
