I have seen that some new drivers post their day to day adventures with the new company... This is what I am going to do here... I will not sugar coat or tell anyone that's it great when its not.. Just a honest log of my time as a OTR driver.. I may not post everyday, But will do the best I can....
I don't have a lot of OTR experience.. I applied at 3 companies and Yes Celadon was not the highest pay offer I got,But the fact they have APU unis was a big plus. I am going to try to get on the new temp control division...Thinking maybe I wont set on or between loads as much as dry van....
The hiring process at Celadon was about a week to get all the past employment and paperwork in order.. So far everyone has been honest and upfront with me... I am heading to Richmond for orientation this coming Monday.. The 26th.. Anyone else heading there? I see a lot of Celadon trucks here in Norfolk so I am hoping hometime wont be a problem.. Gonna try to do 3 weeks out 3 or 4 days home...
Again I have not started this thread to bash Celadon.. I just want to keep a log of how things go and what kind of company Celadon is.. I will ask questions and answer what questions I can.. I just don't want this to turn into a bash Celadon thread...

Celadon has APU's?

Was told and also on website.. APU on every truck.....

I was told the same thing about 3 years ago, who knows maybe they have them now. What really sunk them for me was that they wanted me to pay $150.00 for the hotel and $165.00 for locks. So before I saw the inside of a truck I owed them money. ########!

That right there is a sign that there is something wrong with them.....after all we are talking about celadon.
Any outfit that you owe them a pennie before even turning a mile would be a no no for me!
