    No, not a fleet of central trucks... that's just plain crazy. Leasing one is tough enough ad it is. Lol my current lease ends in October.

    With those new trucks coming in - who gets those? Company drivers? Lease drivers? Luck of the draw? Company drivers that have been there a while? New company drivers? Just curious - LOL!

    Checking in....passed the Work Well test,was doable but wasn't easy. We we're suppose to start with 50, only 37 showed up, already lost 4! Those were just do to misdemeanor reasons, let's see how many we lose after background and dirty pee tests. Its been a good day, no complaints! Gonna eat lunch now,starving! Ladyk I'm gonna see if I can get info on who gets the new trucks, ie the pecking order! Lol

    To tell you normally when they order trucks not to many of those will go to company drivers. The lease ops that are up soon get a choice of the new trucks they get in to replace theirs. Then the old lease becomes a new company truck and is given to a newbie. I have heard there were a couple newbies that got 2011 trucks but that is very rare.

    That's the nice thing about Central, as opposed to CR England and some of the others. They put my co-driver and I together, and we are most definitely not married.

    Depends on the truck. I would bet that all Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks will be lease op only trucks. Whatever truck they get in abundance will also be company trucks. Used to be Volvos, then it was Internationals, and I have no ideas what next year will be. If they're getting Freighlinters, and not a lot of them, they'll be lease trucks as well.

    Whatever the new company truck will be, it usually breaks down so that older drivers that have been here a while will get a chance at a truck, along with teams about to put too many miles on their truck. Then it's drivers who have high milage trucks, and upgrades who really need a truck and only new trucks are available.

    Several new drivers got the 2011 Internationals, because they ordered a bunch of lightweight trucks ideal for solos. So, they put a number of new drivers in them. I actually saw 2 people in one, and there's no way I would team, or have passenger in one, they're just too small.
