Carolina Cargo - Rock Hill, SC.

Gets worse... it's all teams! And technically it's a 20 cent split. But they do run a ridiculous amount of miles, coast to coast. There and back in a week the driver can take home $600 or so.

They also require 5 years from completion too, others have been turned down. At least they'll take them like the websites say. All the others are just flat out lying.

 

That Carolina was bought by ABF in 1995 along with Red Arrow. I thought that the old Carolina had the best looking logo in the biz. I think they were paying .20/mile in 1955!! That's nuts.

 

The Carolina Freight that I was asking about was located in Cherryville NC
I am probably wrong, finding out that I am a lot these days, but I am pretty sure they just closed their doors and were not bought by ABF

 

the funny part about this story is you know it has to be true. you cant make that crap up. that is scary tho. man. you have more patients than i do. he would have been out a long time before that.

 

Carolina Cargo Inc of Rock Hill/ Chester SC is a rip off!!! Better known as "Criminal Cargo". They constantly change employees, can't keep good drivers or trainers. Total Chaos!
No support from the porch !!!
Drivers are charged for:
~After hour calls to dispatch, HOUR $ 25.00. Only calls allowed are accidents, so they can make sure to charge driver.
~Out of route miles!
~Idiling the truck, which makes living in the truck sheer hell or expensive.
~Cleaning
They will ruin your DAC for the fun of it. If you piss them off they will retaliate.
They recruit students w/ felonies for their driving school, under contract, then have the student drive for CCI until their large debts are paid off. With .10$ per mile, there are many unhappy drivers employed there. The police have had to come and break up many a fight between mangement and drivers. Always some drama.
Carolina Cargo is a broken down company, from its owners and managers to its torn up, filthy trucks. Truly pissing off drivers from coast to coast for 15 years. They have been in bankruptcy since 2007. Not surprised, at all.
Originally this company was J&J Trucking which declared bankruptcy and changed names about 6 yrs ago.
You can find out all kinds of things whilst on the yard. Like "Kick Rocks and Ride Out!"
I found this site too late for me to avoid this mistake. I wanted to add my post to help drivers. I also tell other truckers about this site so they to can find the best job for them.

 

You coulda found that info here. It's one of the go-to answers for people on here with records looking for a job. Even our school warned us about this place... unusual for a school to do that.

 

The funny thing is......they wouldn't hire me because I have ONE speeding ticket!...................lol

 

Welcome back! Wonderin where you were. How are things lookin?

 

FYI, speeding tickets ^ 15mpg, limits you.
Try these two companies, they are both GREAT!
1. Coastal Transportation, of Ga
2. Howard Transportation of N. Miss.
I know Howard can have you home 2x week. Pay is very good.
They will accept recent grads.
Let me know if you need more.
Ride Safe!
