    Anyone else have info on Carter express, i see their ads on Craigslist all the time for Hebron Kentucky, 60k for a home daily route seems too good to be true, especially when the ad is always up there. Anyone know if this is a good job or not? Thanks!

    I have tried to get info on here but don't seem to be many drivers saying much.
    Maybe start a new thread ???

    Hebron is kinda a new terminal shared with Toyota. I know the terminal manager...great guy and have helped out on a few of his runs in between the runs my team mate and I do out of Vandalia. He has some good ones from the few I have covered.

    You say Hebron has some good runs , what about someone living in Kokomo Indiana. I think about 1 hour from Anderson ,IN
    Can yo give an example of some of the runs Carter has ?

    When I was working out of Plainfield Indiana I bumped into those guys all the time and every single one of those drivers that I spoke to said it was an excellent company to work for.

    It really is but they do not put up with drivers that like to speed and be general idiots on the road.
    At Carter it is a two way street...we expect good pay...runs and whatnot and they expect good...professional drivers that respect their rules as well as the laws applied to driving and they play no favorites...Example they had a driver who had been there like 10 years....he got caught texting while driving and he was gone. For most of us no texting or no holding a phone while driving is common sense but to some...not so much.
    Carter is doing hiring now because they just got even more contracts.
    It blows my mind that so many companies have the potential to be like Carter where the drivers are happy...the customers are happy and everyone profits but instead they keep on keeping on with ...crap loads..crap treatment by the company....crap pay....so they end up like Swift and any other mega cheap freight carriers that are losing customers until eventually they will have nothing.

    Texting and driving is unacceptable, even in a 4 wheeler. I'm curious how the driver got caught - does Carter have driver facing cameras?

    Heck no and the say they will never use them.
    I understand he was ticketed and I seem to recall another was seen by a Carter staff.
