If you had a "very good job" in the first place, why in hell would you quit in this economy?

Heavy sigh... <rant>This is the problem with forums... you never get the whole story when disinformation is posted.

Krazman... you seem to have mistakenly not told the whole story. Let's try this with quotes from your first two posts back in 2007:

I drove an end dump for a month untill the place ran out of work for 3 weeks. I quit to go to work for Swift. They screwed me. Promised me a job and then just sent me home.

and then...

Then I and 12 others were all told to go home and wait for a few weeks. Well nothing ever happened.
I quit a good job making 800.00 in 5 days driving an end dump. Now I am unemployed because of Swift and their lies.
I see no relevance between your situation in 2007 (or possibly even earlier) and anything now.</rant>

And now back to our originally scheduled program.

To the regular users of this thread, thank you for your continuing valuable information.

Ooh, they ask you for more than money. I'm sure there's a lot of people on here that could tell you about that, lol. Go check out the lot lizards thread in the forums.

After buying food and paying for stuff needed on the road, we were basically left with very little for the family at home. You can work at McDonalds and make more money. Wayne is back at construction and making way more then he ever did at Central. When he was teaming, he did ok because they tend to try and keep teams going. As solo, it sucked. He was sitting 3 days a week waiting for loads. We took anything they gave and most were 600-800 miles runs then sit for 3 days. It was really bad. It is really bad if trainers can't even get enough miles to get students their time in on time. Usually trainers and teams get the best loads. I don't know about Jess or anyone else who has or is working for Central, but if you have a job and are getting by, don't leave it for Central. PERIOD! You will regret it. Widow lost her home waiting on this company. Everyone goes in with high hopes and most are dashed to bits. Also, driving truck is not a easy thing. I went with Wayne for a month and realized how stressful the job is. Go in with eyes wide open everyone. It's not a cakewalk.
The reason I quit my job is they promise this and that and tell you they will never do that and end up trying to back door you. If you can avoid a company avoid the one I am with like a disease. They are going down the drain just like everyone else and I don't want to be there when it happens.

When i was younger and went with my dad there wasn't much time to sit unless you were waiting for a dispatch, and sometime that took maybe 2 hours, now people are getting resets waiting for loads. so you might have some extra time and sometime you might not.
