    Bite your tongue! Roadway has some fine equipment!


    Seriously though, Central Transport has the worst equipment Ive ever seen. We still have some big time JUNK tractors that should have been scrapped 10 years ago too.

    If you really want to work there then go talk to them in person, sometimes that makes all the difference.

    Agree 100% with the op. If you take the time and put some effort into your future you can find what you want from the start. I've been driving since 6/11. I get home every night and sure as hell ain't making 25 cpm. The company I drive for wanted 2 years of experience but my past work history and motivation got me in the door.

    Remember it's your life, your future and your family.

    I started out hauling plants for a greenhouse in six wheelers mostly. Did a few produce runs for him in the '79 K-wopper COE picking up melons for the store.
    Then got hired by a trash company and got great experience there. Then got into stone hauling, excavating/paving/construction/metal fab for a few years. Then got regional job for private carrier. Eventually bought my own truck and go where the money is.

    Only a desperate fool would work for those big OTR rolling sweatshops.

    Agree with Harvey. Last year I was about to go to TDI and then go over the road. That didn't work out so I stayed where I was working. Ill be solo in a couple weeks and don't regret it a single bit. This is a private fleet also.
