    Hello again,

    I was hired on by Carolina Cargo as a team driver, I start the first week of December. I was wondering if anyone here has had dealings with them in the past, and if you have do they have a good reputation of treating their drivers good, their equipment, ect...

    It seemed pretty easy to get hired in with them and it made me seem as if they are desperate, if they are I hope it is because they are just that good of a company and their business is growing that fast.

    Any input on this would be great.

    Thank you in advance

    Guess they're ok if you have Felonies.

    I don't have any felonies, I do however have an assault misdemeanor. I am taking what I can get right now because all the other companies wont touch me because my charge is less than 5 years old. I was just trying to find out a little background about them so I at least have an idea what I'm heading into.

    Epes won't touch him with an assault hanging over him. Doubt cargo will either they're just as picky judging from their recruiting pitch from couple years back they consider themselves somewhat elite and above the masses.

    Heard some one horror stories about convict cargo there's a few threads floating around here none of them sound too encouraging.

    Girl that went to school with me her husband was working there. She said he wasn't impressed with them either other than he had felonies and they gave him a chance and put him in a seat.

    Low pay, run you to death and sharing a truck with people with questionable backgrounds. I'd sure look for something else if you can find someone else to give you a chance. That said, if it's all you can get and you want to drive tough it out, get some safe miles in the seat and find something else soon as you get some space between you and that charge.

    Good luck to you.

    Ultra Low Pay is a fact...It would be less headache and more financially rewarding to find that old ski-mask and put it to work :dontknow:
