    Michael,
    Yes, that number is for Central Refrigerated in West Valley UT. I am going to start their training program here in about a week.

    My preferred company to start with would have been Watkins and Shepherd, out of Missoula. From what I hear they have an awesome training program! I have not found anything negative about them on here, period - and I've been looking for over a year to find the right company for me.


    (oh... and always double check everything the recruiters tell you with what you can find on here. They can, and yes they will, lie to you. There are a couple good threads about Central Refrigerated and one good thread about Watkins and Shepherd. I'd check them both out.)

    I believe Central Refrigerated is only hiring people that THEY can train. So if you already have a CDL you probably can cross Central off your list (but still might be worth checking) Because of the slump in the economy... the training school will bring money in for them... and they pay their graduates less. So they end up making money.
    Good luck y'all!
