Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Sounds like someone is going to be attempting to drive a truck in a Moon Suit

 

CD was parked and he saw a CRST Truck Hit a dropped trailer. That is why I was asking the literally. Just some dropped trailer don't know if it was a Central or not CD knows though.

 

I think he said it was a beat up storage trailer. I once watched a yard dog back into another truck as the other truck was backing up...funny thing was the yard dog was behind the other truck and the yard dog turned sharp right into the other truck. He tore off his own mudflap and put a gouge about 10 feet long on the other trailer. Needless to say the yard dog driver wasn't paying attention.

Interesting side note: that same night I watched an England trainer try to chase down his trainee with a fire extinguisher. The trainer slipped and fell and was yelling "He tried to kill me! He tried to kill me!" The police showed up and all but I don't know what the resolution ever was. The most interesting shipper experience I've ever had

 

will they let me lease another trk when my pete isnt due until next oct. i estimate my warranty is going to expire around april.

 

yeah some of them are 1. too lazy to look you up on gps, or 2. dont know how to do it!

 

some of those yard dogs go about 40mph in the walmart yards.

 

Well I am at home after 2+weeks in SLC. I did everything but the Utah CDL test and got sent home. Big Joe and Dave my trainers were mad as Hell. I got home from Iraq in 05 and my stepson(25) had taken over my house and had moved his friends in. He did not want to give it up. After 2 weeks of tense living he(6'5"/255) slugged me(5'8"/162) in the back of the head. After 15 days I was still in full war mode. I decided to show him why he was a college dropout and I was a Army Ranger. I beat the crap out of him and one of his buddies. Arizona has no tolerance Domestic Violence policy so I got arrested. I got a plea that gave me Anger Management classes and 12month probation for a dismisal. I completed the classes in 3 months. After 2months I got unsupervised probation and at 6months my probation was resinded. Then the actual charge was dismissed by Pima County Attorney. So I have no conviction on my record. I retired from the Army(medical) as a CWO4 and retired from Qwest Communications. I told Central everything up front. Greg the head of Security called me in for interview, went over the incident, 2yrs flatbed with TMC(200K/0accidents),looked at my Army record(9combat deployments, 4 purplehearts,3 bronzestars, and the DSC from Pres Bush at the whitehouse) and told me I was OK with him and Central. Greg got fired last Monday. Nick from recruiting took over for him, and rescanned the current class. I have no conviction,but they found one document from my 1st probation office visit which states 12 month probation from May05 to Apr06. The CEO said no exceptions so Nick told me I can comeback in April11(5years). Anyway thanks Brandi(the hot recruiter), Jeff, Dave, Big Joe and the other trainers, and Russ(go Utes!) and Karyn at the VIP(LOL)suites. Still kinda sucks knowing guys that you would not hire for the late shift at Circle K will be going out with trainers, and getting trucks.
So I'll test for my Arizona CDL permit on Tuesday,while it still fresh in my head, and see where it goes from there. well Swift(still the same company) has a three year limit on probation. Any suggestions?
Best wishes to all, stay safe, Robert.

 

I'm sorry to hear about that. Their loss. I wish you all the luck.

 

Wow Papi that sucks. Things work out in there own ways some times. Good idea about getting your AZ Permit and going through that way. Keep us posted as to what happens. I leave for SLC on Saturday.

 

I'd look into truck driving schools. Just because Central denied you does not mean Werner, CRST, Covenant, Stevens or Swift will.
