    Greetings,

    I'm looking for some suggestions on companies out there that work with an O/O with a recent preventable accident. Only accident I've ever been in in my whole life. I also have a 7-10mph speeding ticket from about a year and a half ago. No fine. Last one before that was around the year 2001 before I got my cdl. I have 2 years and 9 months of commercial truck driving experience out of the last 4 years. My experience is mainly reefer and dry van and I live in Florida.

    Thank you.

    I went to a cardinal transport website. Don't know if it's the one you're talking about, but it looks like they're a flatbed company?

    Ok, I think I see the site you meant. It has Cardinal and Greatwide together.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Just get your own authority, much simpler.

    One of the companies bought the other. I was a company driver for Greatwide for a few months. The 0/0's were content working there. Both companies have dedicated freight, so you can know about what you'll make every week.

    They have about everything. Didn't see any tankers though. I pulled reefers and made usually on average a grand a week as a company driver.
