    Hello there! First I want to say, thanks for the transparency with working with CT. Your input has been more than helpful with insight on the inner workings of this company. Now I just found this thread so excuse me if I’m making you be redundant. However, is one allowed to haul Amazon with CT?

    Not currently
    Cloud at one time could
    My only complaint is with broker relationships. As one person can screw up everything for the rest of us.
    We have a growing list of brokers we can’t use.
    My only wish would be for cloud to be a little more proactive in this respect.
    Not sure how they could rectify it though as it’s each of us as individuals talking to brokers rather then cloud as a carrier.

    There's something else going on. It would take a lot drivers screwing up alot to get banned by a broker.

    We have a lot declining because of something called freight guard.
    How many screw up would it take to get a broker to not work with us?

    Think your freight guard may be part of the issue.

    As far as the screw ups ... depends how they screw up and how they're handled.

    There’s a waitlist for a trailer. I don’t currently know what the turnaround time is.
    Power only I think mostly depends on your location.
    One of the guys in group chat does quite well with it.
    I on the other hand hated it.
    Long deadheads and searching for empty trailers.
    Cloud themselves offers no freight.
    We operate on the spot market sourcing are loads from brokers or shippers.

    Good glad they got that wait down.
    When I first came on it was 3 months.
    Been signed on since January
    Overall I’ve been very happy with them.
