<p>[QUOTE="CrewseMissle, post: 133554, member: 5132"]Well I'll answer those q's as best I can. First of all Central is a fairly new company and they are growing fast. They use to be Dick Simon but then they were bought out by the owner of swift. At that time there were only 500 trucks and now i guess there is over 2 thousand trucks and 4 thousand trailers. They ordered 500 new trucks already just for this year.</p><p> A1- Yes, central does run mostly reffer freight but they also do dry freight.. whateevr the customer needs moved but they have way too much freight for the companys drivers so they actually give out freight to other companies justy becasue there areent enough trucks within.</p><p> </p><p>A2- I have heard anything from 35k to 45 k first year earnings. I strongly believe you could make 45 easily your first year if u can stay out for long periods and never refuse a load and just be a team player. It also depends on your learning curve. It could take anywhere from 3 months to a year for a person to be fully comfortable and the company to be fully comfortable with you. Then things and money should start to pick up.</p><p> </p><p>A3- I'm not 100% sure about the ding on your record btu all i can say is when you fill ou tthe application dont try to hide anything. Let them know right away and ahead of time. Keep pushing your recruiter to find out if they can accept you. I dont think it will be a problem some people hjere have a lot worse records but i cant stress enough to tell em everything and you'll be ok. Well.. good luck hope to c ya out there:smt038[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
