Cowan systems

Ive been with them about a year and a half, hauling refrigerated and frozen loads between Northern Virginia and all of New Jersey and Staten Island for the C&S Wholesale account. I drive a new assigned Pete, I'm home every night, I have 2 days a week off, I gross on average $1100/week and sometimes more. You go out, make your no touch deliveries, come back and go home, no BS. On the downside, health insurance is pretty hefty, I'm single and pay almost $100/week for the whole ball of wax (medical, dental, vision, short and long term disability), they black out every single holiday for time off so if you want to get an extra day or two by taking your vacation then good luck! But hey, if those are the only complaints I have with a trucking job then I'm doing OK! Check them out, they have other dedicated accounts too with Coke and BJ's that can make life in this hectic industry pretty #### predictable!

 

I'm a Night Manager (Specialist) in a B.J's Club in upstate N.Y. I have had the same Cowan Driver for the almost 3 years Now(Dedicated). He runs Monday- Friday, and Saturday if he wants or has the hours left. In 30 years of Driving a Truck including being an Owner Operator of 3 tractors. He Lives and Dies by Cowan Systems and has never been Happier. Right down to If the Company gets a Bad Dispatcher, they will get rid of them. He tells me Its all about the Drivers. If and when We receive a Truck on Sunday, its a Reaginal Driver. I also ask them they all come back with the same responce, "Never Happier". I'm going to be getting in the seat soon and after I do my time. I already know im ganna be Driving for Cowan Systems. This is what it comes down for me. Everybody cant be wrong. His terminal is out of Uxbridge Mass. I hope this helps Somewhat.

Hey man I've been approved with them too to run out of BJs in Jacksonville. Are you currently driving for them?

 

Straight Pee in the cup. No hair testing at least yet...

 

I live in MD and see these trucks all the time, actually meet a couple of the upper management types a few years back at a meeting and have wondered what they are like to drive for. I hope you guys keep this thread alive.

 

Cowan doesn't have a 401k plan. Jb Hunt matches it that's why I'm with JB Local now. I wanted to work for Cowan but they must not be that great if the don't treat their drivers right by offering a 401k company match plan.

 

Interesting, Are you saying no 401 or just no matching?

 

Cowan Does have a 401K match
