    I was wondering if anyone has worked for Cargo Transporters and how they liked or disliked it. I am working for Star Transport out of Morton, IL and I'm afraid they are about to go out. Everything I have seen so far with Cargo Transporters has been good and their terminal is only about 90 miles from my house but I have a wife and kid at home and mine is the only income so I need to be real careful about changing jobs. It's just something I can't make a mistake on. Please let me know or if you know of any other companies in the western NC area that are good. If they pay more than .30/mile, good miles, and can have me home most weekends I'll be happy. Thanks!

    Try Carolina Cargo out of Rockhill, SC. Also, TMC seems to be hiring per their map in your area and they guarantee home 46/52 weekends.

    Phil, hes in a good freight area. Try Tyson's private fleet. They hire in your area according to their page. Also, try Watkins Shepard and Knight. Finally, try Anderson Trucking Service inc.

    Didn't say they weren't hiring, BUD. Just said they weren't a great outfit from ears to the ground. I've read 100 posts for every 1 I've typed. You'd be surprised what you can learn.

    My friend called me yesterday to ask about the company I drive for (Colonial Freight Systems out of Knoxville, TN). His brother was a driver for Cargo Transporters.
    The other day all there drivers were told to dead head back from where ever they were, clean out their trucks and head back to the house.
    Cargo Transporters are shutting their doors.

    Really? 3 of their trucks were at our warehouse yesterday afternoon when I came back from my pick up. They were all getting loaded with an outbound Disney order we had going to Florida.

    Thats strange, I was over there yesterday for an interview and road test, checking my references now. Orientation starts a week from Tuesday. They had drivers heading out while I was there. Sounds like your buddys brother just got canned.

    Could be. I just looked at their web page, and it said nothing about it either. I guess I was mistaken.
