I drove over 4300 miles for them right out of a 5 day orientation and 50% were DH which pays very little, got forced dispatched and they all denied that I didn't want to take the load in -56 degree weather then, no load because the batteries froze on the trailers, had to fight for layover. They all expect you to read their minds and try to make you pay for all the fuel. They were very manipulative and deceitful. Safety wouldn't read the emails to verify my credibility. Said he didn't have to because he believes his comrades. Apparently, he is not aware of the complacency that is overwhelming the company. Held my settlements when I threatened to quit and they still havnt reached by bank. I was harassed by a guard at their DC. He told me to drop my trailer and leave. Then, Cargill agreed with me in terminating the contract since I could not get the Police to assist me in retreiving my trailer again at their request so, I bobtailed home. Cargill was the worst relationship I've ever had. Had to fight for all my DH pay, layover and they mailed my first three settlements instead of direct deposit. What good are your settlements when their rotting in your mailbox while your slaving for free.

I learned years ago, when I was pulling a refer, stay away from anything that has the name "Cargill" on it.

Last couple of years Cargill has been looking for 100 drivers that should tell you something. They are offering $5000 sign on bonus, hope they start paying their O/O better. Used to be a great company. I tried to stick it out but I just became depressed working there. Was there for 10 years and slowly watched it go down hill. The management have a "drivers are a dime a dozen attitude". Had no problem leaving they didn't care.

I find it astonishing that you drove for them that long. They held my settlements from day one. Cancelled my insurance and just sent me, 6 weeks after I left- a notice that they intend to keep my reserves. Drivers need to be warned to stay clear of carriers that manipulate drivers by being deceitful. That company has no integrity and the government should perform an audit.

Cargrill meat logistics ?
....sounds like road kill recycling manufacturers of the South west
I tell ya now THAT was a company you wanted to avoid , i wonder if the owner just changed names ? -
On the other hand if Cargrill needs to be defended for their iniquitys & deceitful ways , you can be sure there will be multiple sights for public notice as such
.....no worries right ?Last edited: Mar 15, 2019

All these posts are over three years old. They have an ad in the Trucker rag and I gotta admit I am seriously thinking about calling them. What’s holing me back is nightmare memories from the 90’s. When I was working for a company that pulled a lot of meat loads from Liberal Kansas. For days I would be waiting for a load. I’m just wondering if Cargill is just as bad. Can anybody give me some updated information on this company?
