Cargo Transporters Claremont, NC

Just wanted to share with any drivers out there looking for a good company to drive for Cargo Transporters out of Claremont, NC is a great company to drive for.
I went back to driving about 10 months ago after a 6 year vacation and they are really a top notch company to drive for. They treat their drivers well and Get me home about every 10 days. The dispatchers are good people and will do all they can to accommodate the drivers needs. I used to drive for Old Dominion and they were also a good company but CT treats you more like a real person. Now one thing I will tell you up front is YES we have cameras in the trucks. I will also tell you they DO NOT record unless you do something to trip them such as hard breaking or hard lane changes. Other than that they have saved a lot of drivers being wrongly charged with causing an accident. Here's a list of what they offer....


Students 17 cents per mile for 8 weeks training and 38 cents after training.

Exp. Drivers 41 cents per mile

2 cents per mile safety bonus paid every six months. (July 4th & Christmas)

All trucks Auto Shift with manual option.

VERY well maintained fleet

Run mainly east coast. Average home every 7 to 12 days.

Hiring area NC, PA, OH, MD, W.VA, VA, SC, GA and FL

No I'm not a recruiter just a driver. If you have any questions please ask and I'll do my best to give an honest answer.

 

I'm home most every 7 days so resets don't really affect that often. I think the home time is a trade off for the Northeast. I run north about 5 times per month and sometimes 10. We run mostly east of the Mississippi but we do at times go out west but not often. Most of the west is left to the few teams we have. I'm not a big fan of the NE but I guess with the home time it's a fair trade.
The 41 cents I believe is for drivers with over a year experience but don't hold me to it. If you talk to their drivers you'll be surprised at what they have to say about the company.
They treat the drivers really well and I have a pretty decent pay scale. I also like the "Human" side of the company. We have pic nics and cookouts a lot. We also have company cars you can drive while your at the terminal to go grab some food or do some shopping. Not a really large company, We have about 500 drivers. Really nice trucks and their maintenance guy's really stay on top of things.

 

We also have a pay raise coming. (Effective March 30, 2014) Experienced Regional and solo OTR drivers earn up to .41 and OTR teams earn up to .2575 CPM.)
They are opening a new terminal in Charlotte N.C. so they will need to hire another 50 drivers to cover the extra freight volume.

 

I think you would like it there. As a newly wed I'm sure your wife would like you being there...lol

 

Bunk rooms are provided free of charge if your at the terminal and don't won't to sleep in the truck. Also a company car is available if you need to run some errands. There is also a fully equipped laundry room on site.
