    @G13Tomcat things r going awesome! About two weeks ago I got so fed up with Carolina Cargo always making me sit around. I mean sum weeks I would sit more than drive. It was crazy. Anyways I was so fed up I put in a few applications. Swift called ,turned it down. But LTI called. Don't know much about them but I'm gunna give it a shot. For 1 I'll be makin 4 times more than CC. Dedicated route that will put me through CT when I want home time. Idk I'll give it a shot! I start orientation on the 10th.

    I got a call from Carolina Cargo. Is it true you can get pulled over just for having the name Carolina Cargo on the side of the truck? Apparently it happened because of their reputation for poor maintenance

    There's a way to search their reputation; I just don't recall the link.... @Chinatown ... how do you do that?

    Personally, I'm not sure. The guys I've met from there had pretty decent equipment, actually!
     
    Rocknroller4 Thanks this.

    Don't believe everything you read or hear.
    Carolina Cargo is a second chance company and not everyone needs that. It's a good opportunity to get started and you get good driving experience in all weather/all terrain which many companies want.
    Don't buy the poor advice that you're better off flipping burgers, because you're not!

    Carolina Cargo made it onto Live PD. One of their drivers cornered himself so badly that it was going to take a tow truck to get him out.
