    been with cdn about a week seems descent so far got 3600 miles first 6 days outa orientation usually have a call before i unload or right when i do all rates based outa chicago if you run east or midwest outa chicago rates good run west not so good but very few deductions out chk once escrow paid and shop rate is 45 an hour

    only downside so far because no qualcom lotsa ppwk and daily cell phone check calls

    but that being said you can drop any load in their terminal 7 days a week and they got freight to keep you moving and once you hit chicago just tell em which way you wanna go and they send ya that way no forced but i am still in the honeymoon period so ask me in a month and i;ll tell ya how much they suck :biggrin_25523:

    I have been with cdn since april.Lots of freight and miles.They pay short miles which means you are cheated out of 70 miles on a 700 mile run.They also have a .22 fsc when national avg is .33.If you complain they say they are having meetings to change things which must be a lie since nothing has changed.

    I ran for them a few years ago, they def kept me moving no matter where i went. I was running for O/O and he finally pulled us, they owed him $42,000 and never paid to my knowledge. They said he owed them money and kept it. I don't know what the deal was, but they kept me running.

    I am looking for a new job.Cdn is taking 10% miles on every load.If you run 700 miles you will be shorted 70 miles.You will also have inbound loads always go back to chicago.You will not always be allowed to drop loads in the yard.Dispatchers are very arrogant when you refuse to do a run.
