    I have heard they take guys with felonies and pay them very little. May be ok though if noone else will hire you with a felony. Wouldn't be my first choice though.

    It is not a starter company. It is a company that's willing to give people a chance in life. When all other companies turn their back on you, but this one doesn't, it's something to appreciate and take advantage of. The pay may not be the highest on America, but running coast to coast as hard as you can, you will do OK. Remember, Carolina Cargo will have very high insurance because they hire felons. Work hard for them & prove what you really are to yourself and your family.

    Yay, but only if you give a proper 2 week notice and make sure you have a new job before giving that notice. If you don't do those 2 things, you will be back to square one.
