    Carolina Cargo....what can I say! Still a rookie only been with them for about a month! Not bad so far! As we all know it's a second chance company. Sum of us have made mistakes in life and have to start from the bottom! Yes it's only 10cents a mile. U also get various bonuses. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. But because of the unfortunate path I've chosen in my life I was always held back. So now that my mind is clear, I'm Running hard!! It doesn't pay all that well but I have to start somewhere. Something is better than nothing, and for a while I had nothing! I have a little boy who deserves a great father and an awesome future. I will bust my ###, gain the experience and all doors will open up for me! I always hear ppl complaing about this company! REALLY?!?!? You made ur bed now lay in it. Suk it up and make the best of it. So u put up with a little bull**** gain ur experience and move on! Yes there are hiccups. Phone numbers, addresses and such for pikups and drops. But u know what it's a job, if it's to hard to plan ur route or call brokers or wait for loads, than u shouldn't be in the industry anyway! Yes I've made bad decisions, I'm a felon! But I'm a grateful felon! The past is exactly that! Carolina Cargo has given me a chance when nobody else would. So for that one reason I will give them everything I got and run hard!!! And when the time comes I'll move on! So for anyone who doesn't have a great past there's a light at the end of the tunnel!! DRIVE SAFE PEOPLE

    I am really split on this so please understand that I am nothing but proud of you for trying to over come your past. What I have a problem with is people who use your past to s crew you. I do not know what felony you committed and it doesn't matter, you have already paid what the courts require you to pay for your mistakes.

    I wrote a really long reply here and have erased it as I found it to be too negative. Just know, that every trucker out here is hoping you will succeed and we will help you out if you just let us know.
    Welcome to the world of trucking, which is just a bit better then prison. Not much but a bit.

    I am really proud and impressed with your attitude! I am sad and ashamed that they only pay you .10 cpm. A person like you deserves much more than slave wages! Hang in there and it'll happen for you.

    I'm guessing he is still running with a trainer and getting .10 for every mile the truck runs?

    20 cpm to the truck. Really low but I guess that's why they are a second chance company.
