    I worked here about one year. Pretty good company. Trucks and trailers are new, lightweight and designed to haul freight other companies can't haul. Primary accounts are BJ's Wholesale and R.E. Michaels. Trucks are governed at about 65-66 mph and are on e-log. Company recently merged with A to Z transportation out of Pennsauken NJ. Cowan Systems has a lease purchase program that leases brand new Pete's. This part of the operation is out of Brunswick NJ not far from a BJ's wholesale DC, while the main operation is based in Halethorpe MD. Lots of dedicated accounts. Starting pay is around. 36-38 cpm direct deposit mileage based. Very strict on compliance. Lots of loyal drivers who been there for many years, swear by this company. Dennis Morgan is vice President of operations and is fair, Ken Scrimale is with the lease division and is also pretty cool. Cowan has good benefits including decent insurance, not a bad company to work for.
