    Hi and welcome from another wannabe.

    Just curious as to know if you looked at others besides Central Refrig, like Stevens Transport. What made you choose Central? I to am looking for a good training school.

    Thanks.

    I got an information packet from stevens and CR England want a phone interview. I havent completely made my mind up yet about which company to go with, but Central pay more than stevens as a starting rate. I'm not sure about CR England yet though i still have to call them back.

    I was suppose to meet with Stevens today, but they rescheduled their meetings at the local work force commission office until next Thursday. I will let you know how it goes.

    Also check out this thread here called, Stevens Transport aviary, there is alot of insight here.

    Let me know if you find any thing out on either Stevens or Central and I will do the same.

    CR England pay 3c/mile less than Central, but the rest of the benefits and packages are the same. I'll keep my eye open for more companies, i know there was another one i applied to...but i havent heard back from them, they're called Henderson Trucking.

    I kind of stumbled onto Central and Henderson though, while i was applying for CR England. The Road Warrior is right, keep researching dont just pick the first one (i'm keeping my eyes open) whichever we pick we'll have to spend a year paying them back so it needs to be a good fit for us and the company, right? :)

    I'd be trucking solo, but a bit nervous about being alone on the road so idk. Maybe i need a vicious dog, or...pepper spray lol. I watched a video on youtube, this one guy said that truckers look out for eachother. Is that true?
