He didn't wake me when he got lost and just kept rolling west on 70. I woke up around Victoria and then rode shotgun to Hays and then Lexington, NE where we swapped. I took it from there to Evanston, WY and swapped there. I told the guy to stay on 80 and only get off if he saw a rest area or truck stop he knew he could get in to. I was awoken by the sounds of a police officer talking to him, telling him he had to turn around and I knew he had screwed up. He turned into a parking lot and hit a concrete pole, bending two rims in the process. After the rims and tires were replaced he started through the parking lot and hit a light pole, knocking it down and punching a hole in the roof of the trailer. He was then pulled over on 80 and charged with leaving the scene and improper lookout, which he had already been charged with for the pole. He wrapped that up and proceeded west. He got to the rest area between Salt Lake and Wendover and pulled in. He laid against the wheel for about 10 minutes and started off again. At about the 27mm he fell asleep at the wheel and ran off the road and across the salt flats, sinking past the axles. Afterwards he told me he couldn't sleep with someone else driving and had been taking pills for the previous 3 days to stay awake. After the tow truck drug us back on the highway and he got his ticket for careless & reckless, I drove on to Reno. I put him out at the truckstop to find a ride back to SC and I drove solo back home with a load of onions. I would recommend avoiding this company like the plague.

Countrycuz, your post contradict each other. That was part of your homework assignment. You failed! Crashed, more like it.

In this post you make at the most .14 cents/mi and " DO have a felony".

You just posted on the other Carolina Cargo Inc. Thread, that you now make .13 cents/mi and DO NOT have a felony. Being that you are "the Salt of the Earth", and evrything.

Do you even know who you are?

In addition, you have stretched this Coast to Coast round trip to include 1000 miles more than are actually available per trip.
Making the pay sound competitive.
The pay per trip averages Gross $200. - $400. Per trip, which is usually over 1 week long if OTR or some local runs that don't accumulate enough miles, plus layovers due to their unorganized CHAOS.


After taxes, deductions for charges for Out of Route Miles, Idiling... You bring home next to nothing. It actually cost the driver to drive for this company.
The insurance that they do have, changes every 3 mos, is very expensive These weekly insurance dues can accumulate quickly. Putting you in the negative.
This is a dead end job. It is impossible to run constantly so you can even catch up or accumulate any money. You owe for insurance ... So you keep trying to make that $. Then you discover you just can't, you just keep owing more. Unless you drop the insurance.

This pitiful pay for the work and risk that I had to commit to was ludicrous! That is why/how I struggled and suffered.

I was recruited by the Owner, Jim. He came and smooth talked my class. Gave false hope and promises that would be quickly broken.
I fell for his pitch.
He sounded just like you. Hmmm! ??? Except, I can't hear you screaming anymore.

This site and especially this forum were designed to help "Our fellow drivers".
It is not supposed to be used for recruiting.
I have seen your post on other sites beckoning drivers to contact your web address for more information about CCI.

Thankfully, this site will not let you post recruiting info.

I know that Carolina Cargo pays drivers to recruit drivers. This is how you make $.

I told you that I would block your recruiting efforts.
You can tell your friend thing that I hope this reduction ,that I cause to your pay, also allows me to C*#K Block them as well. Considering you are failing at your attempts.
We have been "tit for tat" with our post.
I will not waste my time on you.
I joined the Truckers Report to find camaraderie and make friends and hopefully help someone.

I post facts. I am trying to give a heads up warning to other drivers. They can search and research and they will find out that I am correct.

With you hiding behind your handle, the new recruit that you get will not know exactly who at Carolina Cargo Inc. deserves the beat down for misleading them.
When they find their pay "raped" with unreasonable charges, they will do as all the others have; either sit down and cry, or get into a yelling match w/ Safety, Jim, Dispatch or Human Resources. This is a hostile environment.

You are giving false hope and misleading drivers.
Be legit or quit!

Oh yes, the old "Lost Trailer Trick". If you employ ex offenders and push them to their limit. Then who is surprised that there are always "Stolen Trailers"? Ha, Ha, Ha!!!
