Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Nah they wont can you over going to Wendy's... but you cant goto the joint across the street. We went to Wendys during lunch at orientation. You are right though. Really bad neighborhood and I wouldnt walk that way at night. Zombies on the corners all day.

 

Would that be Fred?

 

Do they work? Any reception?

 

Its heck when you swerve into reality, although safer than most swerving.

 

The trainers there are hilarious. They will pick on you about everything lol. Bring sheets, pillow and maby a sleeping bag. You will need them. Bring a couple towels and wash clothes... those arent provided either. Bring all the products you use to take showers and stuff.... soap, shampoo you know.

There are soda vending machines there it cost 1.25 for a bottle and .70 for can. There are laundry machines 1.25 to wash 1.00 to dry. ummmmmmmmmmmm there is nothing around there really. There is a 24 hour convienience store across the street. Wendys down the street. Outside of that you can order delivery papa johns, chinese and a burger joint. They have a shuttle that generally does Walmart runs 3 times a day. Since you going to school you will probably have to catch the 6pm one. Listen for them to announce it.

Everyone is pretty nice and friendly their. Truckers are there all the time in and out. Some are there for hours or many even days. Take the opportunity to talk to them. They will answer questions that you may have and also tell ya some really great stories lol.

DO NOT GO ANYWHERE AT NIGHT. Very bad neighborhood.


Oh and one more thing... bring any paperwork that you might even slightly think they might need. Birth certificate, social security card etc.. Bring work history, any pertinent medical info etc.... If they need it and you dont have it... youre going back on a bus home.

 

From what little I could gleam, aka rumor, there is some attempts to reserect the business (and it should be viable in the right parameter). It will never be a google, but common sense dictates with the anti-idling etc ya da ya da there must be answers that are viable to this dilemma. Anyone with a solution that is looking for a business opportunity feel free to contact me. I believe there is a solution. Pilot/Flying J and Petro/TA have not come up with the solution. What is it?

 

Yeah they work. Think I was watching judge judy while waiting for my trainer.

 

I can't resist. Does Judge Judy have an opinion on your trainer? BTW my only sister is Judy and I love her dearly.

 

Not the judge
