Central Ref. Class 431 - Dec. 8th 2013 - Dec. XX 2013

Weather has been bad in some spots , hope everyone stays safe !!!!!!

 

Thanks for the information. I've read through your blog and it was a good one. I should hopefully be leaving from Merced to head down to Fontana for the training in a couple weeks. Glad I was able to get some insight on the schooling. Stay safe out there, and keep the shinny side up. Looking forward to getting over the road and onto a better career then what I have been doing.

 

I have a question. After I pass my skills test and my pre trip test. Do I wait on taking my written test till I get done with going over the road for 5 weeks and then I go back to the terminal to do my upgrade for solo?

 

dfaf,

I am curious as to why you took the Class C test? Was that required? If so, why?

Thanks

 

I may be wrong Cali Hawk, but heard from my recruiter that we also have to take a jurisdiction test as well, and from what I understand it's part of general knowledge like a class c license. Dfaf may know more then me.

 

Got a question. After you do your over the road training with your trainer. Once you go back to do your upgrade. What kind of tests do you have to do before you are allowed to upgrade to Solo?

 

Thanks dfaf.

Been years since I've tested, so I suppose a few rules have changed. Guess I will get a book and look things over.

A couple question for you. Once finishing school, you were able to go home for a while. How long did you get to stay home?
I've heard some companies don't have enough trainers to cover all the students needing training. What have you heard about Central?

Thanks for the info.
