Central drivers, let's hear it..OK for newbie?
Got a pre hire approval from Central today.
Recruiter sure pressed hard for their school.
Looks like I am on the hook for $1,200 at $25 a week.

Probably a good school, but think I will make my own choice there.

Central a good starting carrier for a newbie?
How's their trainers?
Sounds like they (Central) treat you well from what I have been reading here.

Any comments welcome.
Thanks..

for a young driver and if this is the career you want for yourself id go there, anywhere for that matter a job is what you make of it these days all of the bigger companies are the same so just pick the one that siuts you the best and go for it but if you want my advice please dont choose this career there is no money and no real hometime anymore due to fuel prices, etc this is a fact im sorry to tell you this but dont go get yourself in a big debt and you not likeing this job when you get out here and then leaving the business and still having the debt just give it a 2nd thought and ask more people im sure they will tell you similar things best of luck fido

Fido,

Thanks for the advice.

I am waiting to hear from several companies that are in the same industry that I have been in for 20 years.(broadcast television)

Always wanted to get in to trucking though.
Realize that hometime will be sacrificed and starting out the $ will be bad.
Would rather get local delivery route (milk, soft drink etc.) but MVR is not so great.

If I can't jump back in my old line of work, then will pick the best start out carrier and go from there.

Thanks again...

Simon vs. Central
My older brother worked for Simon for about 2 weeks before Simon folded and laid him off. What pisses me off is that we're both from Florida and Simon hired him even after he got fired from England for a preventable accident, but yet Central won't hire me just because of where I live. How lame is that?
