Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

And they always have a few trucks with smashed in front ends to show what happens when drivers do not get out and look when backing.
Yes, they get smashed in the terminal. On a weekly basis.

 

Daily! It used to be such a shame to see the brand new trailers all F'd up! One of the trailers was all smashed in right where the G.O.A.L logo was! For you newbies, cover your butts! Whenever you pick up a trailer go over it good and report any and all damage/scratches/dents. Otherwise it could be pinned on you.

 

I do check the tire pressure often, I have been playing with going 60-62 when i had chance. What i have been doing that i will change is the cruise control. And I just fueled with some T/A fuel today.

 

When did we grow a school in asheboro? Or are you getting independent training and then joining us? Do people do that?! Lol

 

I will be going to fontana

 

Good Luck, we are getting ours in April also, so is a friend of ours. We have been told we will get ours due to our age ,but normally they prefer you lease again. When you are 62 like my husband you don't want to lease again

 

Hello Central Drivers, I am a wife of a wonderful man who just happens to work for Central. He does not have time to be online. He does not get home much, I did not see him all spring or summer, so now I am on the truck with him, tired of living alone.

Central seems to have more loads than they have trailers for right now. He had a hard time getting a trailer tonight, but with some help finally got one. He is running hard, he has five loads on him right now, but at least he is set up.

He has been with Central going on three years. Sometimes were rough, low in miles, but since firing his dispatcher and getting another one it has been much much better. Now his new dispatcher has a waiting list to get with her. FM's have lots of drivers, and from what I understand she has 250 drivers by herself.

Well all you guys drive safe out there, winter is upon us, and I told my husband I fear it is going to be a real bad one. I bought a bunch of stuff for him to be ready, don't want him in hospital like that driver in wyoming last year!!! So I put together a emergency kit for him, winter scares me for the drivers. Good luck to all of you.

 

Well we picked up our first load this morning about 630 but when we got the paper work it said it had to be delivered on the 30th at 1700 well we messaged the FM and he said to run it as it was assigned which was deliver today at 1900 so we get there and they refused the load. so we had to go to the yard here in Denver stay the night and someone else has to deliver in the morning we have a beer load from Denver to pa that is due 7am Monday morning. I'm learning and as quickly as i can too.

 

Are they treating you like a team smurfette???

if you had some of that other fuel it might take this fill and another fill for you to start to see a change if any. I let my truck run on fumes pulling into a TA to fuel up. When I was training, my trainer only fueled at TA or Petro also and he said the same thing about peelot fuel. Other drivers at the truck stops also said the same thing. If different people are saying the same thing, i think there has to be SOME truth in what they are saying and now i am seeing it.

today i picked up a 43k load of water and getting 6.9, but they just reset my stats today.
