Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Thanks for the replies yeah I think I will keep the jacket packed just in case after all it dosen't take up much room. Was supposed to leave Friday morning at 6 am but my trainers truck is broken down so am waiting on word when they will be back in Fontana or if I have to bus it to Salt Lake. I think I got all I need now and ready to go. Just waiting around for a truck.

 

Hey, if its cold or raining I make the student get out.

 

That's true,he does!! And he makes the student wash his truck...jk.

 

And he makes the student wash his truck Thats called HANDS ON training and it is a good way to LEARN.

 

They help get it dirty, they can help clean it. I see that as fair.

 

Hey I'll get out in the cold and rain or wash the truck anytime as long as it means I'm closser to geting my own truck. Found out today I will be leaving tomorrow at 15:00. So look out there will be one more newbie out there trying to park beside your rig.

 

Well, lets hope you'll have a trainer, thats actually willing to train.

 

You should have some backing practice before you get to my area. So I will hopefully be safe.
Though I do not worry about students backing next to me as new solo drivers that refuse to GOAL. At least a student will have a spotter most of the time.
I would not worry too much about boots. Spare shoes are helpful though. That way if your primary ones get wet you will still have a pair. Plus it is better to swap out every few days than to wear the same ones day after day. They have a tendency to get funky if worn for too long.

 

I still piss people off, I will GOAL if im in a truckstop, did it in Piedmont, SC last night. I got the last spot 3 other guys couldnt get into because they were blind siding, I got turned around, GOAL once and hit the spot, took about 2 minutes to get into it, you would have swore by the chatter on the radio it took me 2 hours. At least im not buying someones hood!

 

Anyone know what orintation is like for experienced truck drivers comming on with Central Refrigerated? How many days? Road test? What kind of equipment will a new company driver get?
