Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Well, that went about as good as I expected it to go. To give a heads up, I was missing one week of training pay from Central. I checked my Comdata card yesterday and today. Nothing. I went down to Central and I am not in the system. I understand that. I left my trainer's truck and told them I would not be back. I did however expect to be paid the training pay for the little over 2 weeks that I was out. I got the first weeks pay but that was it. I'm not going to go into details about who and what. I took my drivers journal and weekly recap with me. I was told to leave or the police would be called. I was no longer an employee and I was trespassing on company property. I left. It was not worth getting arrested for. What about the principle of the whole thing? How about getting a lawyer? Not worth it.
This is about as bad of an experience as I have had in my entire life but I am going to end it on a positive note.
Jess & JJ- Thank you for your help and guidance with everything.
NewWidow- I hope everything works out for you and 1bad.
Snowwy- Hang in there buddy.
6pak- Good luck and take it easy.
Kate- If you read this, good luck in your training on the road.
I know I am probably forgetting some people so I will say thank you to everybody who has given me advice/guidance.
Good luck to all and bless you all for what you do.

 

Maybe things would have worked out better if you had off let them know the problem with the trainer straight away!

They would have put you with another trainer.......But hindsight is a wonderful thing!

Good luck with the new Job!

Central has changed a lot in the last year and not for the better, one student leaves and there are twenty to take his or her place.

Lets hope the economy springs back and soon because otherwise come January to April there will be a lot of Central drivers getting less then 1000 miles a week in the slow months for freight.

 

I'd like to no whos calln the cops. Didnt take him to have an attitude so I wonder how the cops were brought in,this needs to be posted on the wanna beee a trucker thread so those people can see the truth.

 

I would have called the cops and then waited just outside the property for them to show up! That's just wrong!

 

I'll be in school on the 27th of this month.

 

Well I start school at Central in Salt Lake on my 30th Birthday Aug 1st
is there anything i should be aware of? I've been reading alot of the threads you all have been posting and the info is great, I've realy wanted to be a truck driver since i was a kid but having kids of my own i had to put off driving but im at a point in my life the Im finaly able to do what I've always wanted to do. I gave my job 3 weeks notice people are telling me that im crazy for leaving a good job thats paying me $18hr to go drive truck but the way i see it is i need to do what I've dreamed of doing for years before i get stuck in a slump and I get stuck wondering what if.Hope to meet some of yall some day, oh hey Oscar if you see me there come up to me and say what up im kind of hard to miss i'm a 6'2 330lbs puerto rican arms covered in tattoos

ill be there i leave aug 1 if you see me say whats up im hard to miss im a 6'2 330lbs puerto rican coverd in tats hope to see yall there

 

i think i would rather be in a slump making $18 then out on the road making waht im making right now. Its just a really bad time for trucking right now. Any body know what happens to a driver that has a cargo theft? just wondering?

 

yay 400 pages and going strong.

I'd rather be driving than a desk job. But i am making money at a desk this fall.

Shouldn't be a problem if the driver had the doors padlocked!

 

what if they werent locked?
