    Lee Epling...wait until you start your own business and then your employees want to form a Union. You will be screwed, blued and tattoo'd. They will continue to demand more until the company is shut down.

    Carolina Cargo offering .11/cpm is not good pay for any driver. There are no decent benefits for their drivers. Drivers are charged for out of route miles and idling. Most of their trucks were repossessed, bringing their fleet down to a trickle. They have declared bankruptcy so many times that it is not funny. They change their name to Inc. or of Chester SC and reopen.
    Suggesting Carolina Cargo to another driver is not helping their career, but hindering it.

    What you say is true.
    I also know that there are drivers who have been there for years because they make it work somehow. It is my belief that Jims liberal hiring practices that go back to 1994 in which he literally hired anyone who had a cdl regardless of their maturity level cost him several customers and many damaged trucks. This had a cumulative effect on his bottom line and the chickens have come home to roost. I know that all of their newest trucks were taken back and they have had to make do with what they have.
    Not being able to get new units is going to slowly grind CC down to a halt unless new tractors are bought. tractors with autoshift cost Jim a bit more but he believed he could get by with less experienced drivers who not tear out his transmissions.
    The trannys were spared but the accidents from lack of experience ate up what he saved from bad shifting,coupled with losing key customers.

    I was curious and asked a C.R. England recruiter about hiring felons. They said as along as the crime was 20 years in the past, they will certainly take a look at a bloke.
