Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

I also have the same sort of question as the one above as well. From what I understand, you need $100 for registration fees and money for food for two weeks, is that correct?

Also, do you need money to pay for your CDL permit or do they cover that?

 

I know ima pack food for two weeks that's probably the cheapest way on food cost. Ill have the 100 for registration too. I gotta get glasses wich I will Thursday. I gotta switch my license over to Arizona first from MD. Hopefully I can be training somewhere in three weeks.

 

Don't take what I said as a fact. I'm also a student-to-be and looking for answers from people who have been there.

 

Yes, there is the registration, and yes you must pay for your permit and tests. You get $100 after you are on a truck and under a load with your trainer, and then the training pay kicks in after that. The figure I gave was for the two of us. A solo should get away with less

 

Just got off the phone with my recruiter. Here's what you need cash wise - 60 bucks for registration fees which covers your permit, various tests and all of that stuff and then money for 3 weeks worth of food. Being someone who isn't far removed from eating on an insanely low budget during college days, I'm going to show up with 200 bucks in my pocket and that should do it for me.

By the way, if you go to the 8/15 call, ill see you there.

 

Ok thanks I got the food situation under control cause I currently get food stamps from the government and this is the last month I should be getting those. I gotta get glasses first so hopefully I can go Thursday and have them by Wednesday then hopefully I can be there on the 15.

 

Well JR or any trainers past or present, any tips for a new trainer?

I know you were one and I asked back in 09 for you but they couldn't find J Ranch.
I know I said I'd never train but took the green bait so will give it my best shot.

PM if tips are not rated for public consumption. Thanks

 

there is a frozen foods warehouse in Rincon ga just outside of Savannah. central also goes to king and prince seafood in Brunswick. i think they may do an acconsional pepsi load in jacksonville fl and also they run to the wal mart dc in statesboro and if you got a twic card they have been in the ga port lately. seen two centrals in there on monday. now just because you live in that area dont be expecting that central will have you going there all the time. these will probally be runs you get when your scheduled for home time you will be running the other 47 states the rest of the time.

 

Be patient. Don't yell. And go with the flow. Try to understand they are afraid to do anything that will hurt your Trk and they will be nervous. I have had 6 students so far and all have been successful at driving. Not all have stayed wit crs but not due to my training. Usually cause of issues with the company. Make sure you check and re-check that thy have the training book done and correct. Any wrong answers or problems with the book go on your record as a trainer and make you look bad. Just be safe and teach/tell them everything you can think of.
