Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Cool a much more stable job to have in this economy!!

You wouldn't have learnt to do multiple stops and how to manage your time on longer runs and sounds like #2 was using students for miles!

Which totally sucks and you will be running 48 states and you need to train with a trainer that runs 48 states and not a semi dedicated guy.[/quote]

Good pointJESS, seems like an obvious requierment if a student is going to be challenged and exposed to a variety of conditions. I've thought about holding off on the dual training part until winter, just to have the benifit of an experienced mentor to help get through the more demanding situations. When I was living in Utah, I can recall times pulling a 14ft trailer behind my work truck going up Parley's Canyon to Park City. Hard for someone like me to imagine doing that in a big rig pulling a 53ft trailer.


For what it's worth: both CNN and MSNBC are reporting that Michael Jackson has died from cardiac arrest. Fox is only saying that he is in a coma.

 

Bullett,

Spot on about what you regarding the right to work and doctor thing. While at my first job, a friend got hurt and he wanted to see his family doctor. His manager gave him two options: See our doctor or see your doctor and get fired. Someone correct me but if you see your doctor, you aren't covered on their workmans comp and you could get fired as you aren't covered under workmans comp.

 

I do believe you are right King. When I got my right index finger partially amputated in an industrial accident, I went to their doctor. After the surgery was done to graph(?) some skin to my finger, I could go to see my doctor. I didn't have a choice in the matter.
I guess you guys are right about learning multiple stops. I do have to learn it. I do want a dedicated run in a while though. That's what I did before and I really liked it. Time will tell.

 

Panhandle Flash - Thank you!!!!! I will do some research - would have never of thought of that on my own.

I really like this tread and everyone on it. Even if Central does not hire me, I will still come around to visit!! You all have been a big help.

Does Central have a referral bonus. If so, I have not applied yet so I would be happy to mention a name if you want me too. Probably won't apply for another 3-4 weeks.

Thanks again! You guys are great!

 

Lol no they DON'T have a referral Bonus!

Even if you decide not to go with Central your more then welcome to come and BS with us anytime.

We have a few adoptees like Panhandle and Kinghunter

 

So any trainers on here going to be looking to pick up a new trainee in about 3 weeks? I think i remember hearing a few saying you can request a trainer.

 

Yeah you can request a trainer but it is up to the training department ultimately.

Bullet requested JJ but the training department decided that someone else would train Bullet.

6Pak will be free in a few weeks but I am not sure if he is going to take on another student or have a break for a couple of weeks.......I just picked 6Pak up from Walmart and we went and had coffee, then took him back to the truck so he could get his load onto Clackamas OR.
