    I just graduated CDL training last week (not through central) and was looking at companies that hire recent graduates. I was looking at central as one of my candidates. So I guess what I want to know is how this company is to drive for. now remember I already have my CDL and am not goin through company paid training. If you drive/have driven for them I would really appreciate any input.. thanks in advance

    Never driven for anyone else, but have been with Central almost three years... You get what you put into it... And that includes the attitude you bring to the game ;-)

    I wish people would stop sayong swift bought them out. This simply isn't the case. A chairholder of swift bought majority shares on CRF but they act as totally different entities. there is much written on this and really isn't news. I don't even drive with them yet and I know all this.. p.s meant to enlighten not to offend.

    You need to read some more. Your halfway there.

    Central is probably one of the better starter companies. But your first year is still gonna be rough.
