I have had my ups and downs. I have had some slow weeks and weeks that i have ran so hard that i ran out of hours. I have been with Central for over a year now with no service failures at all. I know Brickmans predicament because he had the same FM as 6pak and since they got rid of him both brickman and 6pak have been doing much better. Sometimes you get a real bad FM starting out and it gives you the perception that the company is bad as a whole. I was lucky to get a really good FM and Trainer when i started out. I have no regrets with starting with central and brickman you are right freight is slow and i have heard that they had to deadhead 25 drivers to Phoenix just to get them loads. I will be in Ca Tuesday and if you are still there brickman i will try and look you up. JJRanch

I think I belong in that category. My FM was Joe Stillen, and his boss Cole Thompson... they seem to be pretty good friends. I know this because I attempted to change FM's a few times and Cole told me not going to happen. Your an Owner Op (or Lease Op) for Central right? That's why your driving that Peterbilt 387? Maybe you can tell me who I can contact to maybe return to Central?

I pretty much agree with everything said in his post.

But don't waste your time looking for me sir, I'm up here just south of Detroit, MI until Monday afternoon.

I just went to check out the school and on the first page you read it states that "if you refuse a dispatched load for any reason, this is grounds for immediate termination". It's in there with the information about 'idle times', 'no sleeping (team drivers) when the truck is in motion' etc.
It's all a cluster of info. and you have to sign it or not continue with the schooling.
