Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Joe, not sure. All you can do is try. It asks have you ever..... Be honest. Put it on your application. You should at least have the opportunity to go over everything with the recruiter. Of course, I am a newbie, so I really have NO idea.

 

There is a very good chance that DWI will show up. You can't enter Canada with a DWI, usually anyway. Plus Central WILL find out about everything you've done. Remember that time you farted in church, Central will find out about it.!!!!!!!!

 

Have you checked into the WIA (Workforce Improvement Act) money? The feds will pay up to $4,000 for you to receive training. If you're still at all interested in being a trucker, then I recommend calling the Utah Workforce Services office nearest you (I seem to remember you live in Utah). They'll set up an interview time and you can state your case.

Other schools will also qualify, but I used Roadmaster since they reduce the prices for WIA students so that the student has no out of pocket for any of the schooling, DMV tests and Medical tests. West Valley City has a Roadmaster school, so that won't be much of a daily commute from Lehi.

The best part about this money, is that you don't have to repay anything. Ever. Central won't take you directly out of school, but there are a fair number of companies that will.

Just my $0.02.

 

Way cool. My brother scored a couple of tickets to the OU?Tulsa game tomorrow and is taking his daughter with him. I'm glad of that since I'm just not a real big sports fan. If I was tho.................

Go Sooners!!!!!!!!!! lol

 

Hey all.. I've been solo for central about 3 months now.. I just got put on the new dedicated state run.. Which is mainly the south and a few northern states.. My question is.. With hopefully more miles now.. Would it be benificiary(sp?) To go o/o for central? My prostar is a real piece and I really want my own buisness..

My only concern is after my school Is paid off.. I won't get any miles and be forced to waste all that money. I'm looking to get either a pete 386 or a w9. I want to go coors dedicated.. Anyone know if either of the trucks I've listed are too heavy. Lastly.. How much,Everything,total, is a payment a week on either of those?

 

coors does not take w-9's too heavy and i belive they are'nt getting anymore 386's for a few more mths. stick w/ what u got and think about it more till after winter

 

TELL THEM EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Run your dedicated route for a min of 6 mths before you go o/o. They promise you more than just a company driver going dedicated but know this it is just a bigger lie. They promised 1bad min of 2500 miles a week to go kraft dedicated (which is bigger /more loads than coors) and in 2 months he has only hit that 2500 1 time. So take it slow until frieght really turns around and with winter right around the corner just like any other blue collar job it is feast or famine. From what I understand payments on any truck will run you around $900 a week. Just my $.02

 

If you Team for Coors you will get the miles!!

Lease Op I wouldn't even be looking at right now, The miles aren't there right now, who knows what they will be like after the Winter!
