I am looking for a good starter company. I just got screwed over by Central Refrigerated. (long story but if anyone wants details, just ask) I was wondering if Stevens had female trainers or if they have a problem with students having previous experience (my problem with Central) I've heard alot of bad things about them but it seems like every company on here has it's share of bashers. Any info would be appreciated.![]()

so, what is the long story? My friend is currently out on his 28 days training and I'm going next month.

I was supposed to leave this saturday for Utah to start school on June 1st. I had been talking back and forth with my recruiter for weeks giving him all the info he asked for, never lied about anything! I told him I had previously drove for CFI for 6 mths and had to give up my CDL a couple of yrs ago due to blood pressure problems that are now under control. He asked for info on the school I went to in Missouri, dates etc. Then after all the red tape is cleared I asked him if it was safe to go ahead and buy my plane ticket and he said " Sure, got all the info I need and everything looks great!" Then I get a call from this woman 2 days ago who informs me that because I previously held a CDL I cannot attend their school! I told her my recruiter was aware of this and never said a word! So here I am with a $150.00 non refundable plane ticket I can't use and I had turned in my notice at work only to go back and beg to keep my job! Needless to say i'm pissed beyond words!! I don't know what is going on over there but they need to get their act together!!!

Simply that Central does not want anyone that has ever held a CDL. They want newbies, fresh, no experience, no previous CDL, just non experienced to train theyr way with no other training involved, sorry you had to go thru this when your recruiter lied to you right from the start, thats how they get theyr paycheck.
-
Does no previous CDL mean any type of CDL? I currently hold a B-P2 S (School Bus) license. Or just a Class A CDL??
-
Frieghtliner1101 you would have to call Central and ask them about what you have and if your ok to go, they will tell you then so you wont be making a mistake like Tragic Magic was forced to do. Thats why i hate recruiters. when are they lieing?, when their mouth is open and going.
-
I just wonder why your buying a plane ticket? Maybe I've just always worked for companies that paid for and arranged the transportation for me? Maybe I have just been lucky???

Stevens they are a good starter co , just be ready to stay on the yard for a while .You can ask for a female trainer it will make you wait on the yd for a long time ,they dont have many.When you get there ask for Carl Hardman he will put you with a good trainer
