2013 Updates on Central Refrigerated CDL training?

sorry wrong tread

 

I am starting my Training with Central on the 27th of May. I might be able to answer some of these questions however i encourage any other more experanced drivers to please answer as i'm sure you will have more info.

1. The hotel rooms are going to be basic and your going to be rooming with someone, basic place to sleep from what others than i know whom have gone to Central.
2. I really have no idea of the scenery but from what i've been told the community is very friendly and helpfull
3. There are restraunts and a wal-mart very close to the Terminal.
4. i believe your day starts between 6:30 and 7 and class time ends about 4. For Drive time i'm not sure.
5. You will test for your CDL permit the end of your first or start of your second week.
6. You will test for your CDL License once you return from your on the road training with a trainer.
7. You will be with a trainer for atleast 200 drive hours/ 30 days/ or 17,000 miles.
8. No, you ill test in Utah.
9. For the moment it will be the termnal address, you will need to transfer the CDL to your home state once you get back home.
10. Your trainer will better go over that with you, however you will need 60 dollars for your license and money to feed yourself while you are there. i plan to take give or take 400 with me.

Many of these questions can be answered by a recruiter at central. Keep in mind a recruiter is a recruiter and are going to say what they need too to get you signed up. But if you have already decided on Central then just talk to your recruiter.

Hope this helps and hope to see ya on the road!

 

you get your cdl first then you go out with a trainer just for FYI. i didnt get my cdl from central but i know they dont go out with a trainer with a CDL permit. and the hotel in utah is real nice. the rooms in utah though at the facility arent good. it was a old jail cell and they bought it out. the conley terminal is good rooms well at least much better and the motel i didnt like much.

 

Strange. My recruiter told me that I would do my cdl road test when I got back to do my upgrade

 

ya you do a cdl road test for upgrading......not to get your cdl..... you go to school for like 3 weeks.....then 30 days OTR with a trainer. then you come back take a written test, road test, and a backing test. Pass it and you upgrade

 

you do your cdl dmv test after the 3 weeks by the way

 

so I have cdl permit from tennesse can i use and go to cental.

 

No. Cdl permits do not transfer from state to state so you would have to get a new one in Utah.

 

forget iit i am staying here not cental for me am not taking a test again
