    Hard to say but I'd say they do have a presence in that area as they have agents in every state, cardinal is only a part of great wide logistics, not the truckload management aspect, do you know which one you will be doing, that will make a difference

    Not really, in all honesty I've just started looking into it, and I'm not ready to drop the down payment for a truck just yet, hopefully this spring. I do know I'd like to run in whatever division lets you book your own freight. I'm also looking at seeing if the brokers I already know work with GreatWide.

    Which reminds me, what exactly are the tractor requirements over there?

    Then you want Gw truckload management, central dispatch, you choose your own freight, I'm not sure of any specific requirements on trucks I got mine through quality leasing back in August, its aT660 KW one of Werner's old trucks, quality leasing will give you a truck if you are approved to drive for great wide or like 60 other partner carriers

    Yea I had a W9 from QualityCo when I was at Eagle. They'll let me grab another tractor if I choose to go that route. Thanks for the info though. GreatWide is looking more and more like what I was hoping Eagle would be.

    That's where fr8monkey went, from what I can tell, he sees to be doing good, and liking it. Might try and reach out to him and get a few more details

    Just remember rates are a bit sluggish currently, so try to find some agents that have their own loads so you can get a decent rate
     
    Loke Thanks this.
