Considering Central Refrigerated School

I just typed in Central Refrig. School in the search area and can't tell you how many are in there - try the search window up at the top of the page and read what's already been said - then if you have a specific question, ask. There is alot of information on this forum, you just need to want to find it. Good Luck in your search!

Many know by now, but my wife and I teamed for Central and did very well with them. The reason I recommend them to most drivers is because they really went above and beyond to help us succeed and always did anything and everything in their power to help us out! The are large enough to keep you busy yet small enough to still treat you like a human being!

Central has several schools at their various terminals and you can get started for little to money up front. The biggest advantage is that provided you pass your CDL exam you are guaranteed a job with them! That's a no brainer! Central pays your schooling, transportation, lodging and some meals and in turn you sign like a year contract to drive for them. Personally I think this is a lot better than being on hook for an expensive loan with a bank or financial institution or worse yet, the government!

Once you finish school with Central you will go with a trainer for roughly 6 weeks I believe then you will be upgraded to run solo. Central does pay you while in training. Their equipment is top notch and their pay is fair. They are one of the best companies I believe to start out your career.

Depending on where you live I believe their main schools are in Atlanta, GA (Conley), Salt Lake City, UT (West Valley) and Fontana, Ca (LA). I am pretty sure they offer other schooling in a few select other places but these are their main ones.

Its been a little while since I have driven for them so I don't have the finer details but this is their basic outline.
