Central Refrigerated Truck Stop III

Nice one, Clyde! Took me a moment to catch your joke.

 

wow i wish you guys the best. Ive been doing a little to much thinking latly and I have come to realize I am pushing my self too hard and thats why I am having trouble keeping on time latly. I am stressed out and should take a few days off, and since i have to get the def filters baked might as well. I am trying to figure out though how much is too much home time and how much is too little. For the past 5 months ive only spent 3 days of it at home(not counting having to sit for repairs or waiting on a load). As far as the mentor thing goes I am not going to do it. Thank you ice train for your advice. I wanted to do as good as I could with this lease purchase. I have kept this truck moving but layovers and getting detained have cost me. I have done everything the way you should run a truck and its not working out. Is it me? I think I need to go back to my original plan and just keep saving up money for college. Thats why I became a trucker my whole idea was by not paying living expenses for a few years I could effectivly put my self through school without debt. Thats my whole goal go to college without debt. I am going to be going into it tech.

 

Newbie here, hope to be starting with Central in mid August. just had 1 question, Do they allow you to take the truck home? Z.z its a long drive from GA since i live near the beach in NC.

 

Yes i believe so, word of advice if you plan on taking a trailer home with you in a residential area watch the power lines.

 

word. there is like a miniature truck stop not even 5 mins away id just leave truck there :X just thought of another question, would they take me with my bp being 148/92, >_>; just checked for first time in a few years and i was surprised it wasn't higher than that.

 

a few questions.
What should i bring to training? and how much money do you think i should take with me?

 

They always allowed me to take my truck home when I was a company driver and as a lease op they don't care. I to live at the NC coast "Harkers Island" to be exact and their closest terminal is Richmond so you are outside the mileage I'm sure. Central also has a lot of freight coming out of eastern NC so home time shouldn't be an issue.
