used to work for Cardinal until they were bought out by Ryder. When it was Cardinal it was the best job I ever had in trucking. Since Ryder took over not so much! I am what they call a flex account truck driver, money is GREAT, but now that I work under Ryder things have rapidly changed and not for the good! When I worked with Cardinal I had my own sleeper truck, now I have a day cab. Now they are telling me I have to buy a car to travel from account to account since I do not have a sleeper. I did not become a trucker to have to use a personal car. I don’t make enough to pay 2 car payments and additional insurance and my immediate supervisor could care less when I tried to explain this. Guess it is time to move on! Shame since I have been working with them for 7 yrs. Would be nice if management would listen to my concerns!
