Central Transport — ask away...

Not good from what the word on the street is.

 

Yes

 

Yea I forgot the gentleman said sum dock work is available, I meam I guess it's a good starting wage. Pepsi is my first driving job. It's the most money I ever made. I'm 23

 

Pepsi's not a bad deal, with some time in people do very well there, especially if your plant is union. I've considered a return to beverage before but thinking if I go back to thats kind of work I'd do Foodservice. Ball busting but they make some $$$

 

It's the company that ate Vitran. Not that they were any prize, but most of the Vitran (and Chris) drivers quit soon after the acquisition.

 

Idk about Central, but w my company LTL tractors are older because we get them straight from the Linehaul guys. They get the new equipment, we get what they used to drive after a certain number of miles...

 

Uptime and reliability mean more to me than shiny late model trucks.

Your average mega probably sees more breakdowns than LTL companies - better maintenance management and better drivers means equipment lasts longer and more profit.

In my area, Central just got all 2017 Peterbilts. Trailers are still #### though.

 

Central is bad. But it is far from the worst gig out there. Especially with some of the recent changes. I mean you are going to be worked to the bone for the lowest pay in the LTL division. But it is still LTL pay, and is still M-F with a set schedule.




Also, they are getting new peterbilts that are rumored to run 68 on the pedal, if that matters to anyone.
