Very well said. I changed my mind about joining them because it took way too long for them to complete the hiring process with me, and never wanted to get back to me with answers for my questions. Apparently they have trouble responding to anyone. Kudos to you for moving on.
I’m experiencing the same issues! Everyday you get turned down 4-5 times before you get one load due to DNUs, violations, double brokering. The frustration on a daily basis is too much, I’m definitely searching for another job.
In so many words, Landstar is the same way. Brokers lies a lot there. Some of landstar brokers are not here in America as well. Landstar was popin 2 years ago but now nope.
Landstar does double broker as well. They let the agents do whatever and then when theres a problem and customer service gets involved they will turn it on the driver before its settled. Wjen i was there they would pay me for a load and then a couple weeks later they would hit me with this "rate change" bullshit and take some of the money back. You know once they sign the rate con thats the rate you get unless theres a claim or a late delivery which i never had. I think why landstar did that was because the agent posted it for more than what it was paying to get someone to take it and when landstar found out you were the one to pay the price. Alot of landsrar freight comes from the load board. Some agents will post the same load with different rates. I could go onandon for hours about all the bullshit at landstar. I was there 8 years.
Nice video man. Good idea to leave: I thing CT was good In the beginning but it’s obvious now they won’t make it. I think mainly it’s the freight market that crushed them. The fact it’s a tech company start up out of San Francisco should have told all of us what they are all about. They will probably change the name and set up a different company and name and try again haha
Just happen to me, wasted a whole day. Brooker just needed CT insurance information, book a good paying load. This load would of got me home in time spent Thanksgiving with my family. They put the Brooker on hold so long he hung up, gave me another chance to get what he needed. They failed I lost the load. Now I'm looking at other truck companies. I'm in a business of time and time is money.
Yo... I really appreciate your honestly and heads up... I've been looking to make a move from JB Hunt IC.. P keep us updated on your progress with landstar
Like many posted "SAME SITUATION" I left a Lil before you came on for what I was seeing. I congratulate you on letting everyone know. I wish i would've. But for recent updates, the MC # issues that is the OO direct result for not taking care of business. For all you OO's stop the cheap freight, second find your own customer's (there are companies where you live that's looking for you, just knock on the door they are already paying a broker a ridiculous rate that you get less than half, thirdly don't be afraid of changing your freight, if dry van is down go to flat, if it's not there look at pneumatic, or reefer we always have to eat. The key to success is knowing where and what, a lot of construction in your city state dump will be the place. Brighten up and lighten up. Success is there. Just keep knocking. Be blessed. Good Post
I had signed up with them last year. But when it became apparent that they not only wanted my bank account/ routing number, they also demanded my pin #- I stopped my in processing cold and never proceeded forward.
Everything you said was facts and I understand you did what you had to do for your business....but I guess it depends on your situation bc my fiance and I have been able to make it work and we're going on 3 weeks at cloud. I dispatch for him. Right now we're making more than we were at JB and we have SFI payments. I know you just putting ppl on game but alot of ppl don't think for themselves and will follow you...hell we did it with going to JB in the first place. Personally I think all of these companies are snakes...just gotta find the ones that aren't poisonous...good luck at Landstar
Understood completely! I could have made it work at CT to a certain degree but with the lying and not answering the phone that finalized the deal for me. But I want lie hearing all them NO’s from brokers hurt too. Some will win and some want, glad y’all seeing progress. And yes all of snakes with that hidden agenda
@@MrUniversal357 listen week one I was very discouraged from hearing all of the nos but I decided to just focus on who works with them and who didn't. I started keeping a list to make it easier for me and so far I can't complain but the one I hate the most is how long they sometimes take to sign the rate con. That boils my blood lol.
I applied back in Mid January and they called towards the end of February but I had already started a new company so I stayed with the company I had just started. That company didn’t work and I reapplied and it took two weeks
@@aiceisoasis most companies dont like for drivers to tell the truth about them. They usually reach out with threats trying to make the driver take down these types of videos
I’m experiencing the same thing that you did I was a fool. I rented a trailer and got plates. I can hardly make it it’s a cool concept but getting Rate cons signed and the Mc# MAJOR PROBLEM did you get your escrow what’s the process quitting??
I contacted my business manager, and started the off boarding process and a few days later they sent me a return label to ship my items back once they receive it I don’t know how long it will take to receive my escrow
@@MrUniversal357 please keep me updated so I can move accordingly I have 1000 left to give them in escrow payments The DOT number is so bad the prepass only works on closed scales smh
Appreciate the video as a owner operator and been to 3 orientations swift Landstar forward air they will tell you anything at orientation it’s like trying to get you in bed I’ll see whatever I have to 😂😂😭
@@ml3truckinginc..816 that’s not true bro. I work here now. You pick your own loads and stay how ever long you want. I stay out for 5 days and 7-10 days. Idk what company he talked to
Let me rephrase what they said I was asked was I wiling to stay out for 2 weeks and I hung because that wasn’t for me. I’ve meet a few drivers and they said they do what they want when they want.
I been driving for 10, i just bought my first truck last week, I put in for ct, but now idk lol.. any advice or recommendations? I don’t have no authority or plates right now, and I’m in ga..
@@MrUniversal357appreciate ya video, I just put in for them, but may reconsider.. I just bought my first truck and idk which way to go 😂, but I don’t have any authority or plates yet.. I’m in ga.. Can you help a bro out with some advice or guidance.. I been driving 10 years, and I don’t have no truck payment. 16 sleeper Volvo
Cloud trucks was wonderful in the beginning. This company changed Demigraphics and was purposely destroyed from the inside.. At first I was making 8000 a week after a yr only 1000 a week if that.
Detention is a maybe and i dont even care about that as soon as it hits 2 hours were looking to leave but you could try to book loads on coyotes direct load board where you can bid and book loads or a reload and i dont stick to anyone broker and maybe cloud can use multiple mc's and dot's i even booked great paying loads from tlq and its to know how desperate these brokers are thats the drivers the ruined their scores but i can go around that because its all about what you know and how you do the work
They want even let you run reefer I gotta Publix near me that have some dry van but most reefer and broker said he would have loads for me daily and they said I only can do dryvan 🤦🏾 ct messed me up on that one
Glad I saw this because I thought about taking my truck over there! Nope…I’m good!
DONT YOULL BE SORRY

If they show you who they are believe them....smart man. 💯!
I agree
When I saw your first video I knew it would come up to this, same issue and same reason why I left
Real talk
Appreciate your honesty and information.
💯 I appreciate you for watching
Thanks, was considering them
I left back in September for all of the same reasons that you’re explaining. Clearly they haven’t fixed anything.
I'm with them at the moment , and I'm having the same issues and problems. Especially with the mc number .
Run! Asap

Thanks for the update. Glad I didn’t go over there.
Thank you for the indept information. You got straight to the point! 😊

Thanks for the follow! Think long and hard about F2F they bout like CT as well
I’m with them now thinking of landstar most places won’t work with them cause if their mc number is under advisory.
LandStar could be a good move

How do you go about terminating your agreement with CT? I'm having to leave CT ASAP.
I just called and told them I was leaving, where do you want your trailer
All you need to do is return the trailer and sign on with a new company and the lease with them will be terminated
Why are you leaving if you don't mind me asking
Why you leaving?
@craigbarnett2369 MC numbers wasn’t good at the time I was there
Maan I jus did my drug test today for them and now am contemplating even goin thru with it
If you got another option I’d go with that
True
I heard you could use your own mc#
I don’t know to be honest
Cloud trucks was wonderful in the beginning. This company changed Demigraphics and was purposely destroyed from the inside.. At first I was making 8000 a week after a yr only 1000 a week if that.
They need to go back then, because the way it is now is horrible
Because it’s a black man that owns it that’s why it was purposely destroyed from the inside
