Central Refridgerated Or Private Truck schools????

[bayboy]

Any one have info, on Central Ref. out of Fontana Ca. I was offered a job training with them any info? Also would you pay privately & are the Companies DMV cerified instuctors more likely to pass you on driving tests versus DMV itself. Basically are you more likely to pass with companies Dmv or is the Dmv private harder.

I paid for my own schooling for one primary reason. 99% of the companies that offer or pay for your schooling "hook" you into a contract which obligates you to them for a specified period of time. If you violate that contract.....they are after you for the full cost of the school.

If you take their schooling or payment for your schooling.... you are effectively an "indentured servant".

If you can afford to pay for your own schooling....DO IT! If not, get a second job, pick up aluminum cans, do whatever to cover your own schooling. It allows you to be a free agent, and not beholden to a contract.

Since you live in Fontana......Id go with Schneider in stead. Their school is much better and they dont make you sign up for the year. That is only at Fontana, btw.

Get the school done, work for them for 6 months and then go someplace else if your not happy with the big Orange.

Last I checked Schneider had an 18mos contract if you went to thier CDL training ------- could be wrong though :shock:

Sorry Bumper I did not catch the only at Fontana line

Yes Schneider does, but, not at Fontana. For some reason they cant legally force you to pay it in California, so they dont.

Unless that has changed recently.

No biggie. I actually went to Centrals in Fontana. Had to sign their usual one year contract. They valued their school at something like $2700.00.
When I left after 8 months they sent me a bill for a pro rated amount of $1000.00. I paid it and went on with life.

Yeah I would say you are probably correct. I know that CA has a bunch of different laws and rules on stuff.
