Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

You dont have to change DMs. Call your old DM and tell him/her you want to go back and they can change you.
That is what I was told by my DM. My wife and I are looking into leasing too. and they said that we would be changed to a "NEW LEASEE" DM. But if we could just them them we did not want to change and they wouldn't.

 

Thanks to this thread, we ( Jeff and Janet) decided to go to Central. Schooled in Asheboro NC (really liked the school and made some great friends) and orientation in Conley Ga. Jeff starts today with his trainer and I (Janet) will hopefully follow in his steps next year, after taking care of some health issues.....We have enjoyed all the different personalities on hereand will continue to read! If we can return the favor with any help (info,etc), just ask! Looking forward to this adventure!

 

I just got a message from my dm telling me basically I am going to be charged another $330 in excess idle fees!! What the hell is going on? I have NOT been idling more than ten minutes at night,then I shut down completely. How do I fight this bull??

 

what is your idle percentage

 

They say it is 42 percent. Now he says they show me idling the past days straight. There is definitely something rotten in WVC.

 

Sounds like you are sleeping when it starts itself and shuts down, if you have it in icon/tas mode. Put it in battery mode (key straight up) and not to the right (in acc mode) and you will have 0 idle time.

 

Thanks for the info Celticwolf. At least that $100 would allow me to eat for a few days until I get another check the next week. I appreciate you.

 

I turn the key to the off position each night or when I am not driving. Don't have an icon/tas.

 

I do that drive about 4 times a month. I like it from Portland to about 120, and then from 216 to the border. There's a chunk that's just boring, once you leave the Columbia. Nothing but scrub brush and the nerve gas facility.

 

Thanks Bigrigtrucker for the info. I think I would love the catfish fleet after 6 months OTR but I'm sure it's competitive to get that route. I used to drive back and forth across I-40 when my dad lived in Kansas so I am very familiar with it. About how many miles per week would you average on the catfish fleet?
