Thanks Lady K. That second link has 355 pages, I cant read thru all of them! Can you answer a few questions?
Miles, do you get decent miles? Is Fontana an okay place? Was your OTR training more than 28 days?
DM's, overall how are they? Do they pay on time, all pay earned?
Can you take the truck home? Do they slip seat? Do they pay all miles, empty and loaded? Is the equip decent? Have you ever been charged for fuel for over idling? Recruiter said today that it is 30%, and over that the driver is charged for the fuel. True?
As a company driver, are you signing your life away? What are you refering to when you say: " but I would also recommend you read everything BEFORE you sign it and UNDERSTAND what you are agreeing to!!"
I could go on, but lets start with that. I have pre-hires from May, Schneider, Swift, and Central so far. Looking into Gordon and others, so any real info you can share will help sway/make my decision easier. Thanks.

Welcome. Trucking can be the most fun you have ever had, or the scariest thing ever happened to you. It's all how you look at it. Either way I wish you luck, & if you want to know something, just ask.

What I'm saying is this was his second job. He was in a band too. Don't sweat it just do it. Don't try to play your guitar while driving. -

Miles.. Now yes.. 4970/week..
Fontana.. I survived
Training.. Nope, but we ran hard and many miles.. My trainer was a good one, hubby's not so good so your mileage may vary.
DM's.. They are people too... Most good, some not so good. BUT if after giving one a fair try, you can 'fire' the one you have problems with and go to another... We are on our third.
Pay.. If you get your paperwork in, yes they pay on time. Still review your settlement because, yes sometime things are missed. Call them and let them know and they will fix it. At least they have with us.
Truck.. If you live close to a terminal, I think they want you to park it there and take your car home... We lease though, so we park in our driveway. Slipseat..I don't think so..
Idling.. Our truck has the ICON but yes they will charge you, but not sure of the particulars there... We never were charged, but as a team we don't sit as much.
Reading.. I have read several threads where people whine about "they charged me for this, and they wanted me to do that!!" Well yes, and you signed a paper saying they would... Why be surprised?? That's all... Nothing bad.xkenneyx Thanks this. -
Awesome thanks mucho. I like them so far.
Chinatown Thanks this. -
I can't find anything about Central Refrigerated being sued. Everything I find about Central is very positive.
Many articles about CR England being sued by OOIDA on behalf of 0/0's & L/O's though. -
