I would like to show my appreciation for Greg (recruiter). He is an outstanding recruiter. He was very helpful and informative. Everything he told me was spot on correct. I am very thankful that he took the time to get to know me and understood what I was looking for. I also appreciate the fact that he was honest and did not just tell me what I wanted to hear, just to get me to apply. Greg is a true asset to Cardinal..

This company delivered a mattress for Mattress Firm to us on Dec. 16, 2023. Their drivers/delivery people were terrible and damaged our brand new wooden bed. They have been unresponsive in getting the bed fixed or us compensated for the damage. I would think twice before using this company if you value your own company's reputation.

I am enjoying my time at Cardinal. I have been working in the AP department for a little over 2 months now. The office is relaxed and comfortable. It allows for independent work while still giving a team atmosphere. What I love most is the respect my manager Angelo gives to his team. There is no micromanagement, just an expectation that we as adults complete our due tasks. I’m very happy to be apart of the team and look forward to growing with this company .

The BEST company I have ever worked for. Micheal was very helpful with the hiring process, he made very easy for me. Joseph the supervisor is very nice and understanding, Katherine the dispatcher is very easy to work with and the co-workers are very helpful as well. Like how we all work as a team.

For Truck Drivers: Do NOT waste your time trying to work for this company. I applied for a position in April 2023. I could tell from the beginning that the communication between the recruiter (Greg), the processor (Zack), and the manager (Dan) was NOT consistent. May 18, I went in for my road test and Dan was not prepared for it. He gave the assignment to a driver that has never given a road test before. I completed my DOT physical and drug test. I told Dan and Zack that I did not want to submit my two week notice with my current employer until I was given the job and ready to transition. Both of them understood what I was trying to do. May 31, I submitted my two week notice. June 6, I had to complete a second drug test because the first was not sent in. June 9, Zack informed me that everything was completed except that they were waiting on Dan to sign some paperwork and I could start June 14. June 15, I called Zack he stated that they are still waiting on Dan. I reached out to Dan and he did not answer. I reached out to Greg and he did not answer. I drove to Dan’s office with Zack on the phone and Dan tells me that the position is no longer available. That Zack was suppose to inform me. Zack response to Dan and says that Dan was suppose to inform me. Now I’m out of a job and have to look for a new one because of this careless, unprofessional company.

Good work life balance…. Trucks are kinda bad. Maintenance wise and not clean. Do your job and nothing extra and you’ll make good money and keep your job. There is slip seating so don’t get too comfortable in whatever truck you’re put in.

Home Depot account is poorly run you are responsible for verifying all locations they accept delivery’s you can’t safely get to in mountains off road locations and when you offer alternative locations they question your abilities management is rude they don’t respect drivers treat you like your stupid the only thing I enjoyed about this job was being home every day even though some days I didn’t know if I would make it home

Bedford, IL location is a 4:45 AM start. Strap your poorly loaded truck and make 6 to 10 deliveries per day, 6 days a week, Mon - Sat. Pay is terrible for what drivers have to do and sacrifice to work there. Driving a flatbed and operating a Moffett in sometimes very confined locations should easily pay 95k plus on a 5 day work week. Cardinal Logistics would rather pay it's drivers like all they do is bump docks. Home Depot warehouse does not know how to properly load trailers for multi stop deliveries. Cardinal Logistics management team ignores it's drivers. They have no experience managing a large driver force that is housed at one location. They don't listen to drivers that have legitimate complaints. They don't return texts, emails and won't answer phone calls. They like to manage via email, which does not work. Lots of favoritism going on. Routing is very poor! Everything they told me in the interview was a lie.

What is the best part of working at the company? Going home at the end of a 13 hour day. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Watching every step you take, so as not to upset the drive cam. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Not the worst job but upper management could do more for the drivers. You're just a number to them. When they come to town they hide in the office behind their computers. Rarely associating with drivers. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Long, it's trucking. that's the only way to make a decent living.
