    Everything about working for Cargo Transporters is amazing. I absolutely enjoying being here. Equipment is up-to-date, home time is really good. I'm usually being home Thursday morning thru Sunday night or Friday morning thru Sunday night. Pay is really good for the miles. Dispatch and everyone in the office are very respectful. Excellent fleet leaders. Overall, it's a great company to drive for.

    I'm a regional driver and can't say enough great things about this company. The trucks are all well equipped with fridge, air driven fifth wheel release, flat screen TV, opti idle, inverter… I never have to worry about missing my home time. It just makes you feel good when you walk into the terminal and everyone greets you by your name and ask you how are things going. If you've been looking for great equipment, consistent miles for anyone willing to get out there and do the work, and a true family atmosphere then you should give them a good look!

    The home-time frequency is consistent with what was promised during hiring, typically getting me home every weekend. The pay is good, with predictable weekly miles and steady dry van loads.

    I drove OTR full 48 for the last six and a half years I just started with Cargo Transporters 4 months ago and it's been great so far! I like my dispatcher TJ and the support staff are very responsive. I cannot say enough about the maintenance team they really know how to get these trucks rolling smooth! I'm still trying to get used to the option of going home a couple days a week because they let me roll if I want to if I have the hours I take the miles! I chose the all Per mile rate of 0.67 per mile And it works for me and the benefits have been outstanding! The facilities are nice... I can't say enough good things about cargo transporters. It's an awesome company. Tell em' Cat sent ya if you don't already have a referral since we get bonuses. That would be sweet. Come on board. Over.

    Worked with cargo 4 years & really can't say enough good things about them! I really wish the way cargo is run was the norm with all trucking companies but unfortunately they are the anomaly & you will be lucky to find a company as good as them! :) makes me want to start my own company so I can model how they do it; we need more good companies that know how to treat drivers!

    This company terminated me over the word of mouth of a proclaimed off duty highway patrol dot officer. There is no video evidence of the alleged behavior, I was given no chance to defend and argue the allegation, nor give any thorough rebuttal. This company now refuses to allow me to sit and speak with the proper personnel higher up in the corporate offices over the matter. I've been asking other drivers in this company for information about policy and rules and previous terminations in the past, as well as get insight on this conduct from the company. I've also contacted two NC highway patrol DOT officers about the entire situation, one being a supervisor, and per their statements, something doesn't add up to the reported behavior and how it was handled. Cargo seems to only be covering their tail, at the expense of an exceptional drivers employment record and character. Meanwhile, cargo claims to have the best office staff and best drivers and best operation, but don't all companies claim this? Cargo did not stand by their driver and only looked out for their interest. What I was accused of was false and I wasn't given the chance to prove my innocence and overturn this decision. All over the word of mouth of someone, I've lost my career at cargo. My file was also pretty clean and free of violations, accidents, and repetitive disciplinary behaviors. The fact that cargo stands behind their decision and will not allow me to speak to the higher ups, reflects the companies character. I will continue speaking to other current drivers about this as well as highway patrol, and while it can always be exhausting mentally, I will seek legal advice over this matter. Cargo should dig deeper in their heart and soul of what they do to their drivers under these circumstances. But, these days what companies ACTUALLY stand behind their employees shy of just words. I think it says a lot that I now have numerous fellow drivers here worried about this happening to them, that anyone can simply call in a complaint of a behavior and just get terminated that quick and easy. There was NO investigation. What makes even less sense is that cargo continued to have me bring a load from just over an hour away, knowing of the reported behavior that supposedly occurred while bringing the first load up. Why would you have a driver continue driving when you're about to terminate him over something that's reported so unsafe and egregious, yet there's no video proof. NC highway patrol of a different Troop has given me their insight into the matter and thoroughly explained to me protocol, procedure, and poked holes in the entire situation. Good job cargo for terminating an employee who devoted his time to your company and didn't see this place as just another job but a place to at one point, be proud to work for. I don't know how you sleep at night knowing the truth of how this was handled. I will continue to steer potential applicants away from this company and spread this situation around so others can make their own judgment. I have employee truck numbers and names if anyone is ever interested in hearing personal accounts of cargo transporters workplace experiences and personal opinions. Within the law of slander or defamation of character, I will continue to put out warning everywhere to all potential applicants who seek employment here of why they should pursue elsewhere. This will be brought to news media outlets as well as truck stops and further on. Drivers, take your TIME researching about companies policies and integrity and habits within the workplace before you just apply and begin employment with them.

    Been here coming up on 2 years, came here when pay was $0.50/mile and now I'm making $0.67/mile, easily grossing $85,000+. Home every weekend and doing 2500+ miles a week. Good vacation package also

    New equipment every year. Maintenance gets the repairs done right managing and safety teams are supportive. Lots of fun activities year round but we are drivers so we don't get to join in much but it's ok. Lots of miles, pay is decent and awesome dispatchers.
