    Hear good things about Northern Refrigerated, a few of my buddies jumped there from Central. I'm sure someone else may know more, I live in Vegas and avoid SOCal like a virus.
     
    Mictrucking Thanks this.

    Any of the big companies will have a terminal, but if you want to stick to that region most big ones are bad at simply keeping you to a region.

    I'm looking for a local company with a local terminal so when I have a reset or home time it will be easier for me to get home.

    Well Northern Refrigerated would fit the bill then. Hopefully someone more familure with SoCal can chime in.

    At least about a year ago I heard from a friend Northern even has paid training. Don't know if they still do but, I've never heard a bad word about them. Only problem with them is that they require you get your CDL first.
     
    Mictrucking Thanks this.

    Thanks FerrissWheel! I'm not to concerned with them providing training because I would rather pay to go to school than be locked in contract. Now if they were to reimburse my cost of the school that would be good. I'll check them out.
     
    FerrissWheel Thanks this.
