They might have been interesting 14 years ago.

 

The company I worked for at the time hired a few of those drivers. The CF drivers they hired couldn't be depended on due to lazy work ethic. Always griping about something and they all sued CF saying their back hurt. CF settled out of court and gave each driver $25K. The company where I worked that hired them finally closed the doors and the former CF drivers that had been hired, sued again for aching backs. Talked to one later and he laughed saying he got another out of court settlement for $25K and planned to take a year off before looking for another driving job.

 

CF was a old company. I thought they would last forever. But nope. POOF> All gone.

I never really got the goods on them, i knew enough not to hire on to them because of the backs. Ironically my T1 through T12 is gone but such as life.

 

Funny. A year or so ago, I was at the TA downtown Nashville (wow, they really cleaned that place up!) and I had a guy walk up with a sob story about how his company shut its doors and left him stranded and he was trying to get home but needed some funds. I asked him the name of his company and he said, "Cannon Express."

 

Wow, and still not home? A guy that looked homeless and dirty came up to me at the fuel islands there and said he just got out of the Navy and trying to get to Knoxville. Said he's a Navy Seal. Was wearing an old ragged t-shirt with Navy Seals emblem on it.

 

Good thing you didn't piss him off. Remember how "First Blood" got started?

 

Was leased to CF Special Commodities back in the old days,they closed our division back in the late 80's,see avatar.In over 42 years with my own truck and trailer was by far the best money I ever made.Ran special commodity ltl cross country with a step deck,they had freight everywhere.Im sure there are still some old teamster O/O's here that knew how things were back then.
