    If the carrier doesn't follow the instructions to a Tee! It's fines, and withholding money from the agreed rate. But when Cardinal drops the ball, it's to be overlooked, and we're sorry.. Those fines should work both ways. It's about professionalism, right?

    I was a former driver of Cardinal Logistics and for my time of employment there they have extremely bad and unprofessional management. Megan is the account manager of the PECO account in Richmond. She is very unprofessional and she likes to micro-manage her drivers. She doesn't care about her drivers. She is very disrespectful toward her employees. I would never recommend anyone to drive for this company. They have a high over turn rate. The reason being of bad management. Lastly, I would not be wasting my time if it wasn't true. When you are searching for a trucking job bypass Cardinal Logistics.

    I worked for over 10 years called in twice for issues I saw a doctor for, 1.3 million safe miles. I brought up the fact they weren't paying us for the first hour of getting loaded and that it was illegal. Roughly $30,000 they shorted me. Well that was a red flag to them. Amazingly my boss and her Boss started writing me up for the most petty things , while others No called no showed, damaged equipment, serious safety violations, and they still are employed. It use to be a great company. Upper management is an alcoholic culture, with no concern for drivers. This company does not appreciate their drivers anymore as they post pictures getting drunk on the company dime on social media . Human Resources is a joke. It'll take 3 days for them to get back to you, and if your grievance is about pay or a manager's actions. You will be terminated. Do not work for these ppl!! They are all trying to make a name for themselves as they bleed the company dry with their partying. Sad to see it happen, but toxic alcoholics have destroyed what once was a good company.
