Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

**TruckermanD** · 08.02.2011

Ok thanks I got the food situation under control cause I currently get food stamps from the government and this is the last month I should be getting those. I gotta get glasses first so hopefully I can go Thursday and have them by Wednesday then hopefully I can be there on the 15.

Well JR or any trainers past or present, any tips for a new trainer?

I know you were one and I asked back in 09 for you but they couldn't find J Ranch.
I know I said I'd never train but took the green bait so will give it my best shot.

PM if tips are not rated for public consumption. Thanks

there is a frozen foods warehouse in Rincon ga just outside of Savannah. central also goes to king and prince seafood in Brunswick. i think they may do an acconsional pepsi load in jacksonville fl and also they run to the wal mart dc in statesboro and if you got a twic card they have been in the ga port lately. seen two centrals in there on monday. now just because you live in that area dont be expecting that central will have you going there all the time. these will probally be runs you get when your scheduled for home time you will be running the other 47 states the rest of the time.

Be patient. Don't yell. And go with the flow. Try to understand they are afraid to do anything that will hurt your Trk and they will be nervous. I have had 6 students so far and all have been successful at driving. Not all have stayed wit crs but not due to my training. Usually cause of issues with the company. Make sure you check and re-check that thy have the training book done and correct. Any wrong answers or problems with the book go on your record as a trainer and make you look bad. Just be safe and teach/tell them everything you can think of.

if you gotta ask that question then you most likely have something to hide and you don't need to be driving a truck.

Well I don't have nothing to hide I used to smoke weed. I don't know and I can pass a urine Test but I know its in my hair.

Do any CR drivers go deep into Florida at all? I'm talking like the Tampa area. I was hired out of Michigan but I'd like to be able to use home time every now and then to visit relatives in the Tampa area if I'm able to do so.

ive personally been to winter haven, orlando, miami, and belle meade and as far as i know they do take stuff into the tampa area. a lot gpes into fl but a lot does not come out which makes for a hard time at getting you back out. seems like every time i went in there i was sent to miami to haul flowers back out

dont waste your time or money going to any truck driving school untill you know 100% that you are clean because they will find out if you are dirty. and then its all over with. no trucking career for you.
