    Hello all... So I finally got a return call from Central recruiting. Took 10 days but hey.


    I have spent a week or so going through this forum gathering information about the various companies offering training and settled on Central. I live in Sacramento at the moment so the recruiter said I can either train here or go to Fontana. I have read a bit about the Sac training, but not much.


    I would appreciate any input y'all might have on this one. Also, how long does it take to hit the 200 hours of 'skill training'...

    I posted this over on central truck stop II....

    mendokid! That was a funny question, if you drive 10 hours a day you will get it completed in 20 days, I'd say 30 just because of your training and everything else. Also why central? You want to go Reefer or what? Anyways welcome to the forum, there is a huge amount of knowledge to be had here, there is so much that an "Old" guy like me doesn't yet know, Go into your profile and put where you are located and change the wanna be to almost! No I would just say you are new!

    Now than you mention it...

    yep

    After quite a bit of research I decided on either CRST or Central. After getting on this board, I read quite a lot of 'bad reviews' about CRST. Also, Central uses TDA, and their facility is 20 minutes from my apartment. One last thing... I didn't really want to run team, and you HAVE to run team for 8 months at CRST. I have not looked too much into the reefer aspect, I assumed it isnt toooo different than dry. Correct me if I am wronng, PLEASE!

    Thanks for your input.
