Need advice pls, husband considering working for Central Refrigeration

My husband is considering going to their Utah school and becoming a driver.
Upon internet research I have found several complaints but it is just a few out of many who must of gone there.
Most posts I see on here are from 2007 and 2008.

This is a HUGE decision for us and we're in need of advice.
My husband is retired military (20 yrs) and is currently in his
3rd year at college ( VA pays for it)
Ours as well as other Vet's stipens are being cut Aug 1 and
bills had already been piling up, the cut back of $200 and sometimes $400 a month will make things worse.
It may not sound like much but when we're already strapped it is a lot.
He is thinking about quitting (delaying a couple years) and going back to work.

Anyone with any current information on Central Refrigerated?
Any other companies we should look at?
(We can't afford to finance his CDL ourselves)
He is 46, clean driving record, clean police record, honorably discharged/retired.
We're very concerned with what we've been reading about this company but most of it is older stuff.
And we realize no company can make everyone happy all the time. And we also know many things give you what you put into it.
Can anyone help us with our research?
They say drivers average 2,500 miles a week. Is their 2,500 mile a week average a realistic average?
Due to the area we live in and his limited job experience (being in the military since high school)
It is stay in school, work a min wage job or maybe drive a truck. Any words of advice and wisdom
would be most appreciated, we have to make a decision today (Due to deadline at school for dropping) or we'd have to wait till June
to make this decision again.
Thank you,

You're right, nothing's for certain. We certainly didn't think we'd even consider him leaving school with only 5 quarters left to finish his degree.
Plan B? This is plan B lol.

Plan #A stay in school and get a job after and have a good life
Plan #B drop out and drive a truck.

Thank God we at least have his military retirement
but after Friday with whats going on with the government,
who knows if we can even count on that anymore.
In the town we live in I can't even get a McDonald's job. If I could get a full time job in our
town I'd work so he could continue school. And NO, I don't want to drive a truck

 

Thank you to all who responded to my two different posts.
Best wishes to all you truckers and future truckers.
For now we''re going to try our best to keep him in school.
Appreciate y'all, we know most everything in our home passed through
a truck on it's way to us

 

We're feeling better about our decision, I mean the man has over
2 1/2 yrs of his 4 yr degree. The job prospects are amazing and if they'll
hire 20 and 22 y/o kids right out of college at 65,000 a yr, hopefully
with 20 yrs military service and life experience he'll be able to find work right away after he graduates next year.

We were getting scared, bills are mounding up, the car is on 244,000
miles (original engine and trans) and sounding very old.
He had considered trucking before he entered college and at the time I was not ready to be left home alone all the time after he had retired
from the ship.

He's so close to his Safety and Health Management degree, we'll just buckle down and cut corners where we can and hope the car lasts another 20,000 or so miles.

I sincerely thank you all for your kindness. Prayers for safe travels
for all of you. And JohnBoy, prayers you'll live another 60 yrs
