Start central january 10,2011

Good Deal.. I hopefully will be upgraded by then..

Good Luck to you

 

I start orientation Monday. I already have my CDL

 

My school was contracted by Central here in NC, so I didn't have to go through all that. Got my permit here in NC and took the skills tests here in NC.

Heading out to Conley early Sunday morning. I will be posting about my experiences..

 

I would give them two weeks.. Don't burn a bridge you may need to cross again.. But I hear ya..

I was actually surprised to learn Central contracted with the school I went too. For the most part the school I went too was very good. I heard so many horror stories about the school, but I didn't have any of those experiences. Just remember the schools sole purpose is to get you to pass the CDL exams, beyond that your real training starts the day you are behind the wheel of a company truck.

 

My husband started with Central in August, doing the school and OTR with them. He has had 3 bad dispatchers so far(one was actually fired by the company) and from what I have been reading about Central that is one of the bigger issues from drivers. He is now team driving and leasing. I wish he would have waited to start leasing but oh well hopefully he gets more miles now as an owner op. He is based out of Fontana. In general he hasn't had too many problems aside from the dispatch issues. Even during training, his trainers truck broke down and they waited 3 days to see if it could get fixed(which it wasn't able to as parts needed to be ordered) before they sent my husband to Conley to meet up with another trainer for the last few hundred miles he needed. They paid his hotel and the bus ticket to get to Conley from where he was so that was good.
