RAS Logistics is hiring about 100 drivers over the next four to five months across appliance installation teams, flatbed, and cargo van work. Alex breaks down the three ways in: two-person box truck teams for appliance delivery and installation, power-unit-only flatbed where RAS supplies the trailer, and cargo van on-demand work with the lowest cost to enter. You will learn: - Why RAS says it wants partners, not just bodies, and how that differs from the $1,000 signup scams hitting drivers - The pay math on Perth Amboy local flatbed routes: $700 a day base plus $50 or more a day in fuel surcharge, 5 to 10 stops, under 100 miles - What it actually costs to run as an independent contractor, from insurance to helper costs, and why a cargo van is the cheapest way in - Where the seats are, from Perth Amboy and upstate New York to Wisconsin, Ohio, Texas, and Florida - What RAS looks for in a driver, and why will beats skill If you have a 26-foot box truck, a power unit you want to put to work, or a cargo van, RAS wants to hear from you.
