Cargo Transporters Claremont, NC

Hey Gentlemen I know its been a while since I posted. I did get hired on with CT. Been here for a week. Its been ok so far. Just hoping I can get home this weekend even though I'm running on recap. My fleet leader Is Greg, works out of Charlotte. He's alright, not a communicative person at all. Other than that, very friendly people who actually know u by your name not by a truck number. I wanna thank Joe and Smurf for spreadin some good info.

 

This sounds like a crappy company...... I hate being offered better stuff, lol. I wish we had the laundry room and bunk rooms. That would be nice!

 

Hey. About those cameras? I ended up hard braking just to avoid myself being involved in a accident twice this week. So I tripped the camera. So I guess safety is gonna call me in this week. Right?

 

Can anybody tell me about the medical insurance here? Are you all no touch, have automatics, apus, pet rider policy and do you all get to Florida much? Where do you all run, freight lanes and such. How far out do you all go? Thanks. I applied seven months ago but was rejected. Been getting my game together with Trans Am since then but the medical insurance is cheap and doesn't cover much of anything. Thanks in advance.

 

I just wonder....what would be said if you walked into some exec's office, stuck a wireless webcam up in the corner and told him " don't worry it will only record when you make a bad decision". How long would it remain up. Not more than a minute I guess.

 

Theres good and bad aspects to cameras. In many cases they can prove innocence of the driver in a wreck. But there is also the down sides. Overall I didn't mind the cameras when I was there but unlike smurfs previous comment I was very worried about hard braking and tried to avoid it at all costs. It's hard to put it into exact words but having left cargo and gone to a company that at the moment doesn't utilize cameras (most of our trucks mine included do have cameras installed just not in use) having a camera face the driver is really a major distraction. Over time you come to fear setting the camera off and you try to avoid doing things that would do so including braking hard.
