    Oh I know that I don't have to wash it out every time. But it was a Cargill meat load and it bled in the refer I didn't have a choice I had to wash it out. I mean I have only had to do 3 trailer washouts since I started driving the first one they wouldn't take the trailer because they wanted it washed first. The second one it was a chicken load that bled in the refer and then this one same thing. If I could avoid washing out the trailer on every load I would be happy but unfortunately some times it just has to be done.

    I would agree 6pak is one of the best trainers out there. If u need backs he gets u in there and u can be sure to know how to back. It's very rare that I have to pull up. When I left his truck I was confident in all my abilities. And I have never ever had a late load. That's quality training, and that's how u get onto dedicated fleets. Do your job the right way all the all the time and you will get far. Oh and jess happy Aussie day!!!! Did you get today off?

    How bad is the noise compared to other trucks?

    Could somebody record the inside of a Central ref truck and post it on YouTube?

    Also is it cold in the bunk?

    Most of the trucks sound the same if you stand next to an idling truck think about it being 1/2 or a bit more quieter in the truck.

    As far as the bunk being cold most trucks have a bunk heater that keeps it warm in there for you. Then there are the trucks with Icon in them that will run the truck every so often to keep the engine warm and the inside warm.

    I have a bunk heater and I have gotten the bunk up to 90 deg when I forgot to turn it down one night.

    Ok, Sorry for messing up my post lol.
    I have grown so use to the Wabash trailers and the new danes that I have been pulling that I forgot that many of Centrals trailers have different hole distances.
    Has been a few years since I have been with them, and I was not sliding anything when I was running flats.

    My 5th wheel moves about 350 lbs per slot. That I do know, it is on a prostar though. And the brand may have different gaps.
    Basically, when you have it where it is scaling well. Leave it alone.

    Is anyone around Waddy KY this evening?
    I am looking at 2 Central trucks.
    One of them I feel bad for the driver though. I think she may be new to driving and is in a W-900.
    Not a new driver friendly truck when trying to learn how to get better backing.
