Not to be a nay-sayer, just want to relate a possible "worse case" scenario, well, not worse case, but at least negative enough to help you weigh your options.

It in entirely possible, perhaps even probable that you could quit that job, come to Central and then for whatever reason not be hired.

At that point you will have left a bird in the hand ( your current job) and yet have no job AND owe Central about 3 GRAND for a piece of paper worth less than bargain basement, sandpaper-esque bum wad.

Or you could get hired, spend a month with a trainer and realize that you have made a terrible mistake, and once again owe Central 3 Grand.

Or get through training, like the job, but not get any miles. I had one week, where my reimbursement for working 16~20 hour days for 7 days came to a mighty, mighty, $113.00

I assume ( yeah, ### of you and me, I know) that things are less than peachy right now with your current situation, just wanted to mention these negative potentials because, as was stated before, right now ANY job is a "good" job.

If you already have one, it may not be worth jumping out of the frying pan into the unknown fire trying to find a way to not get burned..if that makes any sense.

EDIT: Sleep apnea. Central requires that you pay them to install the inverter. If you go to Fontana, you're golden as a guy there will sell ya one and install it for very reasonable rates. I had mine installed at Conley and I had to provide the Inverter and it took them about 2 days ( no pay to me, DM on my ###) and they acted like I had just raped their newborne baby for even asking them to be bothered with installing it.

THIS ##### ALL IN ONE PRINTER!!!! I just bought an all in one so I can scan BOLs into my computer in cast Trip Pak fails again and loses my pak i dropped in a box. At least there is still a way for me to get paid... Anyway I bought it at walmart today unpack everything and try to install on my computer but the power adapter is broken! Plugged into my inverter and the power light on it doesnt come on. Now looks like i need to hit walmart down the street here and exchange before heading out at 4am

I think i know why it doesnt work...I think the ###### power adapter needs a pure sine wave and cant use the modified sine wave that comes out of the common inverters. Plugged it into the wall and it works fine.
