Saw an ad for them. They claim that your home every night and have weekends off working for a local home improvement store (read lowes, home depot).
They claim $50,000/year but it looks like a lease/purchase.

Anyone know anything about them? All That I know is that ive run into their guys in the midwest hauling insulation and stuff.

naw no leased purchases.. different accounts have different trucks.. i know in the Richmond VA there's a Cardinal Dual Stack Sterling Day Cab that pulls from a local Home Depot and every know and then i see a Daycab Frieghtliner pulling a flatbed around the Richmond I-95 corridor and also a International Daycab pulling a 53 footer..

So all i know is Daycabs either pulling a short flatbed or a 53 footer... supposedly 45,000 a year or more but there jobs stay open lol..

If your making decent money like that and are home nights and weekends then I wonder why the jobs stay open. Whats up with that?

Do you mean Cardinal Logistics? They have dedicated accounts just like Cowan, Ryder, etc. The account you get hired for might be a good gig but when they lose that account you'll be on something else which may or may not be home every day. They run sleepers, daycabs, flats, vans. Just depends on the customer's needs.

Jonp, here is their website:http://www.cardlog.com/careers/search_results.asp. The link is for jobs in NC.

Also, Cardinal is a 3PL(third party logistics provider). Like Hawk Jr said, when the contract is up(about every three years) and someone underbids them, you are SOL. You will either have to move to a different account, find a new job, or try and get hired by the new "3PL"(usually pays you less).

My mistake, you caught it before I did.:thumbsup:

Thanks for the info guys. I'm not sure I want to get involved with that unless its a new contract and its a company job so I have a couple of years to go.

I worked for them in California before I regained my senses and fled to Arizona.

They have the incoming Walmart produce account at Inland Cold Storage in Riverside CA. While I was there they lost their dry van Walmart account to Schneider and those drivers that didnt want to drive a pumpkin came over to our account and the miles went to hell real fast.

Plus we had those Cornbinders with the half sleeper....useless for overnight runs.
