    Hello all, this is my first post!! I have a decision to make and looking for some input. My application has been accepted at the following companies Prime Inc., Central Refrigerated Service and C.R. England I can tell you im leaning towards Central and my training starts Dec 14th in Riverside CA. Is this the right choice? My goal is to become a company driver.

    Go read in the BAD companies about Prime and Most diffidently that bottom feeder CR England! Central doesn't get hit as bad but you are still deciding on 3 of the top 20 worst companies drivers love to hate the most!

    Central will be your best bet of the three!
    Good luck

    Prepare yourself for being broke and never home for the next year or so.

    And Dog forbid you should have an accident or any other badness come your way, cause you will be out on your butt that quick.

    With a nice comment on your DAC

    Welcome to the forum, notoway! This is a great place to get all your questions answered - not just about trucking either! Take RTO's advice. Go to the "Report a Bad Company" area, read all you can, then decide! I'm just a wannabe at this point but I've gotten a lot of good advice from these guys/gals.
    Best of luck to you wherever you end up. Stay in touch and be safe!

    Of the 3 you listed, Central is the better one. It is basically Swift refrigerated. Mind you P's and Q's, remember there is 10 rookies waiting to take your spot so don't give them the chance.
