From our drivers

Real stories from the road.

Firsthand experiences from the people behind the wheel at Cadence Premier Cargo.

Six months in and Cadence still runs like they said they would — no-touch freight, dispatch that actually communicates, and settlements that hit my account every Friday without fail.

Marcus T.

Driver — CDL-A Independent Contractor

Running my own authority under Cadence’s freight network means I pick my lanes and keep control of my truck, but I’m never scrambling to find the next load. That balance is why I stuck around.

Owner-Operator

I started the lease-to-own program with a 2025 Cascadia and zero money down. Eighteen months later, I’m building real equity in a truck instead of just making someone else’s payment.
