Another Newbie's Story at CRS

OK...I'm back on some home time...I got almost right at 3000 miles my first week and a short load to get me home. I gotta change my license over to AR while I'm home and I will post more as I get some time....gotta go see the kids.

Thanks man...it worked out good. I got an International Pro Star (Eagle...whatever that means). The truck is really nice and I like it a lot; however, I did like the KW my trainer had due to the transmission and engine it had.

I like Central as a good starter company and think it will work well for me. I will say that an expereinced driver would fair better somewhere else (as far as $$$ goes...unless you are a trainer). I saw some of the paystubs of my trainer and he hauled in over 2k some weeks...THATS AFTER TAXES AND AFTER FUEL/MISC WAS DEDUCTED!!!! The lowest I saw him make was 1300 in one week (but we ran really hard the whole time as we could).

I had a good time with this trainer. He let me run the shift I liked (I prefer getting up around 2 am and putting some miles down early when the freight permits).

I have a good DM and even tho people talk smack on the weekend/night guys, most of them seem pretty good too. The do treat you well here and any newbie should have a descent experience as long as they have a good attitude, be honest, and work hard.
