Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Over all not bad.
There is a few things I'm not crazy about....
There are a lot of trainee's coming through right now....
There are guys setting in Fontana waiting for trucks, some sense before Christmas.
That and I haven't figured it out yet but there is something about the numbers that they give us on the employee drivers and lease drivers as far as income that just doesn't add up to me.
But I'll get it figured out....

 

Yay, passed the DOT physical this morning and got the 2 year card. Was kinda sweatin' the BP but made it just fine.
Starting Central's TDA school in Sacramento on Monday.
Want to put a shout out to all the posters here, have been a GREAT research resource and really helped me make up my mind that OTR is what I want to do and Central is my choice.

 

Welcome aboard! I leave for Central in Salt Lake City tomorrow at noon. Have a great time and pay close attention. You have to keep us posted on how it's going. I'll be rooting for you.
Be safe.

 

Since before Christmas!?! Do they stay in the hotel on their own dime? That's gotta hurt. Maybe they will let "special" drivers reserve a truck.

 

Just like paintballs instead of paint, they are filled with pepperspray. They are a less than lethal option that law enforcement uses.

 

Any other questions , just ask.

 

Ya, NO! It's a Mormon company! Started and owned by a Mormon family. I have been there since Simon. Sleeping bags were issued in 04', 05' was a plug in cooler. 06' was gift cards at the pilot. We left in 07'. Central did not used to allow inverters. One of the big reasons being was a big to do when taken over from Simon all the freightliners warranties were voided! So no, inverters were not allowed unless it was an APU! Now if you leased a truck you were allowed to pay the shop to install an inverter under 2500w. NO flare guns, but flares yes. Knives were allowed to a certain extent. Tasers are not mentioned in the handbook. NO GUNS! NO PORN!

Sorry SMad these are the facts! Now anything after Sept 07' you are the babe with the answers! Now I really hate to do this to cause were friends, but I back up my words with facts! CHeck out this site! Scroll down about half way.

***BEEP BEEP BEEP*** breaking news! This just in over the Qualcomm. They are planning for driver pay increases in 2011 if we get 98% on time delivery on national accounts and 97% on meat loads! *** I now return you to regular programming***

 

Yes it was very vague huhh.. Found out todat that you dont blow passed a weight station in OK. $150 fine.. Sitting at the Pilot on Ft Worth just across from the Cabels. Could be worse I guess!

 

LOL! What the hell! Didn't your prepass go off? You DO know that if you get a red light or no light you go in, right?
