    I am getting ready to go to school with Central Refrigerated this month and I am talking with my recruiter as much as possible. I am just wondering if
    Central is a good company to start with. I have Sleep apnea and he said
    my cpap machine wouldnt be a problem on the truck. I am leaving a company
    I have worked for here in OR for nearly five years to go to Central, I just
    hope and pray everything is on the up. any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

    I know a couple of drivers that run a cpap on the truck just need to make sure you
    get a inverter installed first thing.

    Well I dunno why you' d come to central.. Five years of any experiance should land ya a decent job.. Unless its local.. Then I guess ya gotta start somewhere.. So I dunno.. Once they break ya in and you might get a decent truck or not.. I dunno.. Its a decent company.. Legal taxes, pretty good insurance, and your 107 advance.. After all that's deducted off a 2900 mile week.. Your looking to gain 500-600 a week.. Not to shaby.. But hey man.. Money is money aint it? The best I can say is to just maybe look at better options.. Or really be prepared with bills paid up for a good 5 months or so..

    Are you a L/O or a company driver? legal taxes?,107 advance? The training pay is $450 a week then 28 cents a mile, should be around $600-700 a week right?

    $450/wk with trainer, 28/mile, and $125 orientation pay are accurate. Take home pay after training is dependent upon too many other factors to count on. Some weeks are good, some not so good. Ask who your trainer has for a DM and if they recommend them. If good, then request to get on with that DM's fleet. That's how I did it and so far so good.
