Central Refrigerated training?

@Prime you get $200.00 allowance while training. thats taken back later. no pay while training for permit. then you go out for drive training @ 600...wk. until u get your CDL. how it really is i don't know exactly for prime. i'm still waiting to hear from them. but thats on their website.

 

yea sure. the other 2 recruiters have done nothing. I can't see what the hang up is. I have a clean record been 2 weeks. changed hands twice. good luck on your startup...

 

I definitely need to get something soon. bills are piling up fast.. lol

 

Thanks...I sent you his info....Good Luck! Hope it works out.

 

I feel your pain. I was a Boss for several years figured I was immune to the ;;;;;;;;;; no bad words ... making 50K and building schools all over that place. Bam in one day its gone. went from almost 1K week to 270 on unemployment. haven't been able to find a thing anywhere .
BUT i would take your time and just keep trying . I am in the same boat I drained my savings account to pay bills as a supplement. I'm going to go to unemployment and see if they will try and help me get training. all my money is almost gone I have applied for all kinds of jobs. they give me nothing but your over qualified if I hire you you'll just leave so I'm not wasting my time to hire you for a temp job. ? so i can't catch a break from even the low pay jobs. DON'T GIVE UP!!!! keep pushing stick with Prime they offer good stuff. better than most start up companies. it may take a few weeks or more but from what I hear they fill up every class and loose 70% after the first week or so. It will happen. yea alot of Truckers have alot to say about all the Prime wanna be's but they have a job we DON'T . gotta start somewhere.

 

just don't take any of them though there are alot that will put you under ... or keep you right at poverty level so then your stuck big time....I would research everything. from start to after your year and listen because they aren't recruiters for nothing... they will hang you in fast talk because they know they can't offer you much ..

 

just something to think about.. if you can. I'm going to get my medical and permit. on my own. shows initiative on your part... if i hear nothing from anyone for a job. i'm going to drive someone nuts until they give me a truck to use or give me a job. and get my CDL one way or another.. or at least try to. just a thought. Tennessee CDL testClass A written $46.00 ... Medical is probably $100.00 give or take I haven't checked yet. but if you can swing it . it keeps you out of the start up training and puts you up about a week or so more to start and shows that your determined . to the maybe companies.

 

ok i start with central the 21 of may, i have my cdl but need the otr exp, so they putting me threw the training, i was told i will be getting paid while in training at terminal..????

 

What did Central promise you? I'm back in driving school again due to lack of recent drive time and need to find a company that will accept a student trainee driver. Central Refrigerated, like most companies, has both a good reputation from some and a bad reputation from other people. You kind of have to take all the information that you hear with an open mind realizing that not every company fits everyones needs. I'm still debating what kind of company I want to work for. There are so many options out there that I'm almost confused on which way to go.
