Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Also heading to Streetsboro. Should be there sometime in the AM. Getting ready to leave Grand Island NE. Had a wonderful time getting thru WY on the 80 yesterday.

JJ doesn't Smoke but he will take smokers or non smokers.

Hi Panhandle, Hows the cold? hope your feeling better.

 

No not yet he should be home for hometime on Wednesday and then I will be out with him On Monday.

 

JW,

Enjoy the ride, one of the slowest portion of the week. It sure is a wild ride and whole lotta fun so far. See you when you get into town.

Bootlegger,

I see your all over the place. Hows the driving in the snow/cold weather? The folks at TDA were saying this the right time of year to get training and learn how deal with snow and winter conditions.

Class is moving along rather quickly, we lost 3 guys the first week. Picked someone else from the class behind us. We no have 8 guys and they all look like they can make it through school.

Good luck with training and take care out there.

We've had some good runs. Fontana to MA to PA to SLC now to OH. 80 in WY yesterday was interesting. The highway wasn't bad when we went thru, it was the ramps and roads into the truckstops that were chaotic.

We were right behind where a 4 wheeler ran a p/u and a rig off into the median and ditch while entering from an onramp in the fog. There were enough witnesses to the incident that the car was reported to the WHP. 20 miles or so down the road 3 trucks had the bonehead blocked in at an offramp so the WHP could have a talk with him about leaving the scene of an accident.

We both had enough of the crap on 80 so we stopped at the Bosselmans in Grand Island, NE to recoup. Still plenty of time on this load to Streetsboro, OH.

As for training, I couldn't have asked for a better match with a trainer. We're both the same age and share many common experiences thru life, so we get along well.

This W900 is an experience. I saw a freight train turn around quicker the other day.

Time to hit the road....

 

Hey there Jess,
Still have the cold but think I'm on the downside of it now. Going back out tomorrow and wondering where life will take me this time.

 

i just completed ready through all of the posts in this thread, and i think that my wife and i will try to get on with central in 6-8 months just had surgery and have one more to go then i will be good to go i have driven before and am well aware of the ups and downs of the industry, and have tried to explain them as best as i can to her. For me trucking is the only job i ever loved doing, i guess that makes me a masachist lol. anyway i wanted to say that everyone on here seem to be really good folks and i look forward to getting to know y'all and hope to become part of the central "family". thanks to all for you insites.
