Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

We did another mac 14, but not another 13 - although there were lots of mac 1s - LOL! We put in for it, but we'll see.. it is one I'm going to fight for that's for sure...

 

Hi guys I am new to this forum. I plan to start my trainning at Central. My question is how long does it take for them to assign me a truck after I fininsh my training with my mentor?

 

Close to two months.

 

Thats a long wait. The recuriter lie to me said that I will get a assign a truck right after I finish the ride with my mentor

 

I all. I just applied to Central after reading the pages of this forum and was wondering should I be proactive and call a recruiter. I hate waiting. I think I just answered my own question. I appreciate all the feedback on this site and glad for all the upfront honesty.

 

Nope. Recruiter didn't lie. Chompi did. You do get the trk after 1-2 day oreintaton. Most times that day or the next.

 

very true. lots of guys out here in fontana are coming off a training truck and upgrading and getting a truck within a day or two

 

Sorry misunderstood you. If you are going through school, orientation and then training the total time is roughly two months. As far as just being issued a truck it should be immediately after your mentor has tested you. Provided they have one ready for you.

 

With how long we are, with an empty trailer our steers are habitually heavy. As soon as we get any weight in the trailer it pulls the weight back to the steers. We had to get the 16 ply tires (which have a higher weight rating) for this reason. Of course we also try to not deadhead too much either. I know y'all got it all worked out though, just frustrating. About as frusstrating as getting bills totalling 40,500, and we ended with a gros weight just shy of 82k (meaning they loaded at least 43k) right before closing time too. Oh, yuck! Thank goodness there were no scales on the route we chose. That will make the trailer pull funny.

On a Central note, my cousin-in-law passed, so he will get to go out with a trainer on wednesday or so. I am happy for him, only wished he could have made the choice while we were still there so we could get the bonus.

 

thanks for the answer guys. It helped me to choose Central over Swift. Cause i saw the other guy said he has to wait like 6 weeks to get the truck after he done with the 4 weeks tranining with the mentor
