    Best estimate was 2000 pounds per pallet. I remember the reason I didn't know there were singles was because I couldn't see over the pallets, and I couldn't jump high enough, long enough to get a good look. I'm 5'7" and the pallets were my height or higher.

    18 packs of Coors light too. I think the final count for damage was either 67 or 127 cases, but it ended up being one pallet was a total loss, out of the three. The bottom half of the pallet was squashed cans, made the boxes fall apart. I was livid.

    stay away from both they are owned by the same person jerry moyes. i did drive for central and was given the screws like a lot of others on this thread are they a good co to get your feet wet with? yes they are in some aspects not so good in others like their lease program. stay away from that . my sugestion is get your liscence at a community collage or local cdl traing co if you can afford it. if not central would be a better place over swift. out on the road swift drivers are the laughing stock of the industry.

    I dont remember who had the problem with the hp printer not working with his inverter,but I had the same problem i dont think its a pure sin wave issue .what i did was purchased the smaller cobra 800 watt inverter that you can use the 12v socket or battery clips for around $30 and it worked just fine so now i use it for my tv and printer and save the 1500 watt for the fridge and micro.

    That was me! which printer did you use? I tried the all in one F4580 and HP said no to inverters for that printer because of the scanner. I got a canon Pixma mx320 and that works like a charm. It cost me $48 which is about $30 cheaper than the HP. Im starting to email my BOLs and receipts to my payroll clerk. I got tired of Trip Pak losing all my stuff. This last one is funny... they lost a $350 receipt from americold for reworking my costco meat load but yet they got the BOL that costco signed. I had the receipt scanned in my laptop and emailed it to my payroll clerk and got reimbursed the same day!

    Oh and i also have an 800 watt inverter and it did the same thing for me but the power adapter worked when i took it inside TA and plugged it into the wall... So everything seems to point at that particular printer not using modified sine wave.

    Hey all I'm back, I've been lurking and reading for awhile. Just wondering if anyone other former drivers had central screw with their DAC report? I have applied to some other companies, and getting nowhere. I am going to order a DAC report to see what they put on it.

    I think I know my load after next. I did the exact same thing about 6 weeks ago. Deliver in omaha mon, pickup my chicken in storm lake, ia and take that to Florence, Al, then pick up some cheese in booneville, Ms. And take that somewhere. Last time was lafayette, in and the time before that was somewhere in ut if I remember right
