Hi Two Timer as soon as JJ wakes up I will ask him for you.

I do know that JJ had 6yrs off driving and when he got back into it last year he had to go through the school again, which was two weeks and then 28 days out with a trainer.

But since yours is only three yrs it might be different for you.

Let me warn you the miles are down right now, a lot of short hops with long Delivery times.

Am talking to JJ he says chances are you will have to go through there refresher school, if you still have your CDL.

You would be looking at 10 to 15 days at school and then 28 days with a trainer, but I would call them and ask.

Heart Central Refridgerated

My ex. Who still drives for Central....LOL He is the one who actually got me wanting to Drive. The Only complaint I have about them is they don't tell the OO's everything. There was many a time we went with no pay. Due to repairs. Which they didn't tell him during orientation could be split up. Other than that no complaints

I really have no idea, we live on 1-84 so we don't have a problem getting home time.

I have always found them pretty good about getting you home when you give them enough notice.
