Reviews Review this Company
- Pros
- Hometime, Pay, Office folks are super chill as well
- Cons
- Trailers need to be upgraded but other than that there are no cons, atleast at CC832
I've been here at CC832 for 1 year and I couldn't be more happy. They really care about their drivers here.
RESPONSE FROM Cardinal Logistics
Thanks so much for being part of our team. We're glad to have you as a Redbird!
- Pros
- GREAT money, GREAT benefits, GREAT management.
- Cons
- The one and only con I can think of, is I wish they had newer trucks. That is all I can come up with for a Con.
I have been in trucking for 8yrs now, and this is by far one of the best companies I have worked for. They treat their drives very well. If your lucky enough to get on one of their flex accounts you will make GREAT money! No doubt about it! I have worked out of a couple of different locations on a flex account. And both have been great. They truly appreciate their drivers!
RESPONSE FROM Cardinal Logistics
Thanks so much for the wonderful review! We're so glad you're part of our Cardinal team.
- Pros
- My cc832 is a grocery account. Work has not slowed down, it has picked up. Dispatch will keep you running as long as you have hours. There's not only store loads and backhauls, but also local "city work" and yard dog opportunities too. Home every day/night. Full benefits: med/dental/vision/401k
- Cons
"Company-wide, depending on your area, there is such a wide variety of freight to pull, tanker, flatbed, reefer etc, and if there's openings you can transfer. The company trucks are well-maintained and a variety of Pete's, Freightliners and Internationals that are 2016-2020 (at least at my cc). If you have your own truck, they have o/o too. Cardinal cares and drivers are not a number, you are family."

RESPONSE FROM Cardinal Logistics

I have a friend who's been running team for them
for about the last 2 plus years on a dedicated route. Seems okay. I think he
makes about a grand +(-) a week gross.
Information about Cardinal(Greatwide) Logistics?
driveforcardinal.com
has the links. There's also a video to watch on this website.
Cardinal also purchased Greatwide.com and merged it into their company. Now
they have reefers/dry van/containers/step deck/heavy haul/flatbed.

American Trans Freight

Any TRUE lease purchase programs?
Cardinal
Logistics - good reputation and several drivers I used to work with went with
Cardinal and are successful.
Cardinal is a 100% Dedicated fleet with regional and local
runs. We are seeking Company Drivers, Owner Operators and Settlement Carriers
across our nationwide network of operation centers.
Cardinal/Greatwide
makes it easier than most other company to become an owner operator, with
access to services provided by third-party industry leaders.
I drove for Cardinal/Greatwide as a company driver and it was a very good experience. The reason I left is for a tanker company. Cardinal/Greatwide didn't have any tanker divisions, but do have reefers, van, flatbed.

Cardinal "regional" position?
Q: Hi, does anyone have info on their "Regional" positions? Recruiter told me home 2 to 3 times during week and home weekends. Does that sound right? Thanks
A:
That's the way it worked when I worked there on a grocery account. Some were
home every day, some ran regional and did a couple of layovers each week. I was
gone all week or longer because was on the backhaul part of it.
A couple of accounts around the Atlanta area, they haul a load out, then bring
a backhaul on return or return deadhead.
Cardinal
I spent 5+ years with Cardinal on numerous accounts as accompany driver and O/O and will say as a company they were fine to work for, and depending on the account you are on you tend to work independently, meaning you hardly see any other drivers let alone your manager. Cardinals dispatch is decentralized and broken into cost centers run by a manager and that is the person who causes you to love or hate your time at Cardinal. They are a tough company to get cleared to hire by but once you are hired they do everything they can to keep you. Unfortunately, I had to leave them earlier this year for family reasons but have recently been in contact with them about returning and working on the Greatwide O/O side of the company.

I was with cardinal logistics out of so cal. I was on two dedicated wal mart accounts. I was there about 7 years. Very good pay. Equipment was ok. Same cost center manager for both accounts the only reason I left is he retired.

I know some drivers in the refrigerated division at a grocery warehouse account and they like it and make good money.

I think it will depend what account you are on. A close friend was an O/O for Cardinal pulling a flatbed with Moffitt for home depot deliveries and was very happy with them. Only reason he left was he moved out of state and they did not have openings where he moved to.
