The old schooler's that have been doing this 30+ years learn new things all the time & as soon as you get a little lippy with one of them boy... You will get schooled!... I love the old timers, they know how to have fun.
I love your dinosaur. he is so cute.

I applied with Central. it is hard as hell to get a job. I have 3 months OTR a clean MVR and no criminal background. A lot of companies have changed their hiring policies due to the economy. Swift gave me an approval, but I am on a waiting list for orientation. My app was approved in May. I am tired of this. I want to make MONEY

Central is only hiring people with no experience at all to put through their school.

I can't really comment on Stevens!! As I don't know enough about how they run these days.

Central is a good starter company!

First day of school at Central. I could write a book about todays experiences. I kind of relate this to USMC basic training. No yelling but alot of movement and paperwork. Started the class with about 30 people and its down to a little over 20 now after a few people lied on their apps. and background checks. 1 person failed the lifting and carrying portion of the physical. I have 5 chapters of the CDL book to read tonight and the other 2 tommorow night. The written test is Weds. with makeup on Thurs.
It's been about 20+ years since I had to do any studying.

We tell everyone on here DO NOT LIE on your App they will find out!! But I suppose not many people find this website before they go there!

Good luck with the rest of the week and keep us posted all the new guys and gals will be reading your posts with interest.
