Working For Central Ref.

Central is just a training company and does not expect anyone to stay a full year. With your experience you need to go with one of the big boys. Stay away from Swift. Swift and Central are in bed together. They both are ran by idiots.

 

No, its not like good ole Dick Simon, IT

 

No, its not like good ole Dick Simon, IT IS WORSE!!!! They try to use them old strong arm tactics. Try to bribe you of your hometime and pay. Make them use the qual-comm, dont let them call u by phone. They try to get you too do illegal runs all the time. Central's safety record is in the dumps and only getting worse. DOT should move into Central's terminals, all of them.

 

I stayed on the road for 4 weeks and central cant get me home on time. They are nothing more than a training company.

1. When u are offering people with 3 months exp. the chance to be an Owner Operator it is just bad judgement when they dont even have 4 full seasons.

2. Leasing a truck from a company that has 5(leases and sub leases) in the pot is not a lease but a good ole con job. You gonna pay twice as much for a truck and still have $35,000.00 or more left the backend. Who's the fool??? (Stay company and save your money and by the truck out-right.) You can do better buying from a dealership than you can a "Lease Program." That is the honest truth. Remember when you are buying your truck a company upsets you; You can leave and take your truck with you. YOU CANNOT DO THAT WITH A COMPANY MADE LEASE..........

3. A driver can become a trainer with 6 months exp. I dont think so, doesnt have all 4 seasons in to know how to train for all weather.

4. It doesnt matter how long I been working for Central it is just a training Company. I have more miles and time than 80% of Centrals Drivers.

5. I have never seen a company with more abandon trucks than I have here at Central. I have never seen a company that doesnt have enough trucks to go around. New Upgraded drivers (New drivers out of their so called training which is a joke.) are waiting for trucks as long as a week.

6. Since, I know what to expect from a company and how to stop the bull**** before it gets started Central is working for me for the moment.

7. Some people might find that Central will work for them, however new driver's beware!!!!

8. I bought my truck when I did the company's owner/operator program (another company still in existance). When the last payment was done the title came to me, not a bill of sale. If the company will not send you a copy of the lease home so your legal advisor can look it over.... DONT SIGN ANYTHING.....

Lonesome Dove do yourself a favor and get real!!!! and tell the truth.

Dick Simon drivers earned their reputation the old fashion way.... I earned my the same way....

^recruiter?

 

The idea is to get paid more for doing less. You did not read the reply to well. I said 4 plus weeks on the road and they tried to send me on another load when it was time to go home.... I put in for hometime 5 weeks early... No reason to be late getting home with more than 2 weeks notice.
Salt Lake City is headquarters for Central and they did not have trucks for the upgraded trainees. Myself, I waited 2 days for a truck and then I had to go to another city to pick one up that was an abandon truck...

It would be better if the truth was told instead of blowing roses. I do know how to go home and that is what I did... 20 minutes and I have offers by 6 of the top 20 companies in the country for more money... I dont have to stay with Central, I came trained with time and miles... O/O, I did that and completed the contract with a $1 backend. Anything more that a $1000 backend payment is a rip-off...

The company will not send you a contract home to have your legal representative check it out.

 

thats just stupid..i mean howthey gon have you gon for damnnear a month and still try to make u do more..i mean ####..they really must think some guys r slaves!!..thats y when the recruiter lady called me and she said 3weeks i was like..idk bout that one.
