Cardinal Freight or Firstfleet??

Cardinal Logistics?

 

I just started with Cardinal. Was there two days and had a sinus explosion and have been home for almost a week. They have been totally understanding. Above and beyond my expectations. Having said that, the job will depend upon which account you are assigned to. Each one has different pay packages and job requirements. Go to their website and look for jobs in your area and see what is available.

 

Why so you keep calling it a "little" company? they have a remote drop yard across from our main terminal that is twice the size of our location with hundreds of trailers moving in and out daily.

If anything, they are the "Mega" of contract distribution.

 

Cardinal is one of the better places to work. I've been there a few years. Pay, hours, equipment all vary by account though. My account drives leased Penske trucks and turns them in after 2 years. Our trailers belong to the client, not Cardinal. Your experience working there will depend more on Cardinal's client than on Cardinal. Things slow down for hardware/construction in the winter so drivers for their HD account get paid ~$700/wk to not drive. When the stores on my account shut down for China Flu we got furloughed and paid ~$1,100/wk to not drive.

Never had a problem with pay, fuel, equipment or management. I get one text a week from the Cardinal FM. Most months I don't even see him. I'm welcome to call or stop by at any time if I want to though. Equipment issues are fixed on the spot (where possible) or a loaner truck or different trailer are provided. If repairs are needed I just take the truck to the shop - no permissions or approvals required. Outward facing camera in the cab activated only on a critical event. No driver facing cameras. I've never had anyone say anything to me about something they saw on the camera.
