What is the best part of working at the company?
The situation around my departure helped me refocus on finding a company where expectations and communication are clear, and where I can build something long-term.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working here was the lack of consistency and communication from management. Decisions—especially around weather and safety—felt unpredictable, which made it hard to plan or feel secure in the job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
From my experience, the environment could be unpredictable, especially when it came to how situations were handled. More consistency and open communication would go a long way in improving the culture.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day in dispatch involved coordinating freight assignments, communicating continuously with drivers, and adjusting routes or schedules based on changing conditions. The role required balancing driver needs, customer expectations, and time-sensitive deliveries, often with limited notice of changes.

The pay rate isn't bad, but don't expect enough miles to get a decent check. My dispatcher was a nice guy and always asked how I could be more satisfied with the company. Unfortunately the company itself is a problem for drivers.

Like other reviewers mentioned, "Big Brother" is what this company is all about. They are watching you at all times. Also from the moment you sign on they give you a list of reasons why they want to terminate you. You feel like you're not wanted or trusted as a driver. 

With the cameras everywhere, slow trucks (although in good condition), low miles, and no trust or care for drivers the daily stress level rises. At some point you will be filled with so much frustration that you will act out in an unprofessional manner, which is what they are hoping for so they can terminate you.  

I would not recommend this company to experienced drivers because Cargo Transporters does not value drivers.

Receive load assignment from dispatch. Go to designated shipper to pick up load. Check that BOL is correct and drive to designated consignee (receiver) to make delivery. Loads are sometimes drop and hook. May do live loading or unloading. All loads are no touch freight. Communicate with dispatch that loads have been picked up or received and that trailer is empty or loaded and heading to net shipment location. All this is done while following road, DOT and company safety rules, regulations and policies. Must manage time wisely in order to make pick up and deliveries on time and not violate any DOT time requirements.

Family owned business and very friendly. They do their best to get you home when or if its necessary to do so.

The hardest part of this job is being on the road a lot but it has also been the best thing. I have been able to see places and see things that i probably would never gave seen with driving for this company.

Tried them for 2nd time after getting invitation from chairman. Same stuff as the 1st time. Home weekends then cross fingers on getting dispatched Mon or Tues, even though every trailer at every yard is loaded by Fri. Not sure what the turnover rate is but a relative experienced the same as I did at the battleboro terminal. You finally get a run out, then a backhaul. After that you go yard to yard finishing the trips that "preferred" drivers drop because they don't have to bump a dock, since new hires will be always available, as they hire students. Then after a couple of 50-90 mile deliveries, from their yards to a customer, you get a dispatch that could have gotten you home the day before.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A lot of their freight runs at night to deliver the next morning so you might be sleeping during the day depending on your load

Cargo Transporters has good people. The problem is that the company does not have the preload network most other carriers have, so you may sit quite a bit longer than usual being loaded throughout the week. 

The company utilizes an in cab camera that faces inside and out, in which they seem to obsess over. Some drivers have been known to get called into the main terminal as much as a couple times a week for "coaching". 

They advertise .41 cents per mile. That's great, it's about time companies started offering higher pay. The one problem is......you sit way too much, and as we all know the longer you sit, the longer you don't get paid.

Decent pay and mileage ..weekend dispatch 'will push unwanted loads on you, especially during the winter season. They are very bad about mirco management.
