    amiller that started this thread hasn't posted in a long time and no longer works for Carolina Cargo. He and other drivers that work/worked at Carolina Cargo posted they make a little over $800.00 weekly and run hard and legal doing West Coast/East Coast turns.
    The main freight is frozen chickens to the West Coast and produce back to East Coast. Lots of other freight, but those two are the main ones from what was posted. Lots of California and Pacific/Northwest runs and back to Southeast and other East Coast areas.

    Take the following:

    sleeping bag & pillow
    cheap work gloves
    flashlight
    fine tipped ball point pen w/black ink(Zebra is best)

    If money is tight, take some Ramen Noodles. Truck stop and hotel microwave use is free.

    I think you're better off to do your time with Carolina Cargo because they run all terrain/all weather/coast-to-coast. That's what most companies want to hear during an interview.

    But Florida Beauty Express and Paschall Truck Lines also cut some slack for felons and questionable DAC reports.

    I wonder what their plan of action is if KARB starts writing more tickets.

    I think they do a 12 strip& hair sample. Drugs use is not acceptable in this industry.
