Coastal Transport Savannah GA

Jammer..I got a pre hire with coastal..Jan 7th..so from your experience they are not a good co?

 

I worked for CCC, a COMCAR company, which CT is a part of. Granted this was in '04 but I can tell you that I personally had none of these issues, my truck was always well maintained and I never ran in to too many ratty trailers.

 

i humbly understand that it was back in 04, but how was the pay?

 

Keep in mind CCC was a van division, it was .27 per mile to start. CT is obviously going to pay more than that, I believe back in '04 they were in the mid 30's.

 

Hi guys
i was with CT back in 05-07 and did fine there started at .30 when i left i was at .39 always got home every weekend when i wanted too be then i always liked to stay out 2 weeks then home.
then as my milage rate hit upper 30's my miles started to drop off.
I left went too Tandem Transport when they opened their office here in Savannah.
Most money i ever mabe flatbedding was with Tandem average week pay was 1000+ after taxes.
I have heard that CT has had their share of freight problems since 08.

Good Luck on what ever you do.

 

From what I've been told CT is running into a problem now where freight is picking up again and we don't have the equipment to cover it all with top notch trucks and trailers (my truck was reportedly rolled when it was new, and my current trailer is older than I am ) but I just put my big boy panties on and do my job without whining, like earlier today when for some reason I delivered a load in downtown DC that required a boom truck, not in Coastals fleet.., so I had to sit around waiting and waiting till one showed up to unload the truck but I kept my dispatcher informed on what was going on, didn't complain, and just did my job which is probably why I've been home every weekend since I started (even though I wouldnt be against staying out) and never had a problem with detention/layover pay.
