Cowan Systems
Anyone work for or hear anything about Cowen Systems?
They have an ad in Concord, NH. Says .50/mile, no touch freight, no grocery warehouse. Home weekends. Web site says .40/mile. Nothing about benefits. I see they're based out of Maryland. Looked at safersys.... about 1200 drivers, hauling beverages & containers. Any info appreciated.

probably won't help any, but they're constantlyin Williamsburg, Va hauling beer. When i was with CCC, Cowan had just about as many trailers dropped in Va. as we did.

Re: Cowan Systems
Cowan is a very good Northeast regional company based out of Baltimore. Heads and tails above JB, Heartland, and all those other $hitbag medium-haul outfits. Nice equipment, hourly pay, lots of dedicated. I believe they guarantee you 48 hours home per week, which is damned good. A Duie Pyle is another one to hitch your wagons to. They're NorthEast LTL but I think they want like 5 years experience.

Thank you all. I was curious because I haven't seen to many of their trucks around and all I do is run the North East. I wanted to get some info here first because those recruiters can make it all sound like a sweet deal. When I see .50/mile with no mention of miles, I get suspicious. :roll:

I don't like em. They were/are the first company to ever turn me down because they said i had too many jobs in too short a time period. Something like 27 jobs in 13 years or something like that.
No company has ever turned me down because of that. I don't like their trucks either.
