O.K here we go. Is this a good idea

You may want to check the Central Refrigerated truck stop thread on the favorite company's thread.
Answers to any question you could ever have are in there somewhere.
Utah is the main terminal. And the nicest one.
If trainers are available it will be fast, otherwise it may be a few days. At least last I heard.
You will get miles once you learn how to run smart. They will test some and start out slow, but freight is picking up. So you should get ok miles.
The lease is a loosing deal. Do not do it.
Do 6 months, then see if you can get on a dedicated acct. Like Kraft. They should hire in your area for it. I-68 is an easy route to 70 for east and west and 79 is a good way north, so getting home should not be an issue.

 

You always have a choice. They have not become a full 100% lease company yet, and really cannot since they train.
I would not do it. I tell people that all the time on here though and have been telling them not to lease for several years now. But some still do it anyway.

 

Lease works for me, you gotta get good fuel ecnomy though. If you have to drive 65mph everywhere then you will be spending most of your profit on fuel.
