Follow me through Central Refrigerated training

so lets see i weigh about 140 sum, chains about 160 some, so i struggle with those big chain's some , is that gonna be a problem then

 

No you only put on single rails (about 40lbs) and you drag them most of the time. Also when you pick them up to put them on its like a squat, and you are only lifting most of the chains off the ground, so its only like 30ish pounds. If you can drag a big bag of rice across the kitchen floor, you can do the chains.

 

im not sure yet just waitng for a start date. I may push for sometime in mid august so i can handle some things back at home with the wife and relocating

 

If you start on the 8/19, I will be picking up a student when you finish.

 

Ill be starting 08/06..really cant wait to get the hell out of this office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well I had a change of plans. I got on the Kraft dedicated west coast fleet so I will only be picking students up from Fontana now, unless they do not have enough, then Kraft thinks they can get me a load to SLC to get a student.

 

Took me all day to read this thread but was for sure worth it! I will be out in Utah (from Ohio) and start schooling on August 6th. Needless to say Im getting geeked up about this new adventure in trucking.
Just need to load up on nyquil on that looooong bus trip out there,lol.

 

Good luck Hillbilly. What part of OH? I used to live in the Cleveland area for about 4 years about 5 years ago.

 

Norwalk, just south of Sandusky and Cedar Point.
I worked in the Cleveland area in Brecksville for 16 plus years til the plant closed down last fall.

 

"So I was a company driver for about 9 months before leasing. In that nine months I made $15,000 which I don't think is bad for a new driver...."


So hello to all the contributors of this thread. Nice work being done here. I've spent the time to read all pages and most entries from pgs 1-47.. All questions have been answered thus far.. except now I'm thrown a bit. I'm reeeeallly hoping you meant $25k in 9 months and not $15.. Could you confirm typo - or no typo?

Thanks to everyone on here. Class act thread.
Sincerely
Central Wannabe
