Central Refrigerated Truck Stop II

Why on earth would anyone pay a code 2 50%? The lessee takes all the risk, why should he not get the bigger reward?

on an unrelated note I'm coming up on 1 year here and starting to think about training. I keep flip flopping though. I enjoy helping people learn (did a lot of it with the fellow newbies when I was training) and the engorged checks would be great. On the other hand, less sleep, more stress, and a real fear of bad students ("it too fog") keep chasing me back away.

I had a bit of a health epiphany yesterday, and it's got me thinking more about my exit. I came in originally planing to stay 2 years, but started thinking about stayin out. I enjoy my job, and the money, but yesterday I became fully aware of just how much worse my health is out here after just 11 months. The extra savings from training would make that exit more graceful.

so all you trainers, what'da'ya think? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Would you still train if you didn't NEED the extra money?

 

I would still train, but then again I did not NEED the extra money. It is nice though. If you are only doung it for the money, don't train. Even good students get annoying, and unless you are getting a lot more miles your check won't be a lot bigger, because you take a 4cpm pay cut when you have a student on the truck.

 

Training, yes I would continue training but I don't need the money and only train 4 maybe 5 students a year. I really enjoy passing on my knowledge to others who are willing to learn. The checks can be good but then you have the excess mileage fees, extra wear on your equipment and added maintenance and tire cost. By the time you figure all that against the bottom line, training is something that you really only need to try if you enjoy passing it on. The key is to turn out quality, safe drivers not steering wheel holders. Most trainers that are in it for the money turn out rotten students but its not the students fault. I believe in giving each student their money's worth,and a fair shake.

 

anyone on here help me out here im an experienced driver who stupidly gave up cdl last year so now i have to start over i have been looking into central for about 2 months and verdict is in im definetly excited but my only prob is submitted app with madison and told her i had 4 speeding tickets all in 3 years i know i have reason for it nor is it excusable but all in my pov not commercial websit states no more than 3 in 3 years but was on live chat with madison for about 30 min asking various questions and she assured me to turn in app i did friday i assume ill know something monday does anyone have advice for me as far as worrying about this or any insight on this company i need to worry about

 

will anybody be in fontana monday going to pick up a load in los banos drop the trailer get a service and off to nashville with a preload if your there let me know i come and say hi

 

Will somebody explain how the detention pay works?

 

Say you show up for a 3pm appt at 3pm...and you dont get loaded/unloaded right away and you sit there at the shipper/receiver for many hours. After an agreed upon amount of delay your company starts getting paid for you being detained. Your company then pays you part of that detention pay for your wasted time sitting in a dock. Doesnt always happen though. Has to be
agreed upon as part of the contract.

 

Hey icetrain if im understanding this correctly your a trainer for central ref

 

yes sir. You would be correct.
