    I'am a student currently and I have been accepted to Carolina Cargo and I was wondering if they are a good Company to start this career with?

    yeah look elsewhere......

    nothing but horror stories i've heard and that's both online, in person from a wife of a guy running with them that i was in school with who's dying for his year to be up to get away from them, and from a guy that runs for them who has such a bad record he just can't go anywhere else and dying to get away from them....

    they don't call them 'convict cargo' around here for no reason lol

    unless you just have such a bad background, or mvr, or whatever that would keep you from going elsewhere, go elsewhere. you can do better

    Had one cut me off one day, blew a trailer tire and didn't even slow down.
