Central Update From Newbie
 
kk, been a while- Went to school at central facility in upstate NY. Medina- was put up in a bunk house - pretty dismal, but free, and they fed us Real good for the two weeks I was there(no complaints there)
Was real cold, but missed most of the big snow that came 2nd week of Feb- Was already at orientation by then in Atlanta,ga. waited four days to get seated- that was pretty boring- But went on a recovery run with a guy - drove the company can and dorve the abandoned rig back - killed the boredom, and should get paid $75 bucks some day soon.
Conley yard for central is in the sticks- no place to play.

1st week on truck, trainer a real good guy, 3 1/2 year CO. driver, we ran 5500 miles- no sweat really, just debating on when and where to take shower's - i'm a clean freak, - one every 24 hours somehow. (we got that done,, kinda - 30 hours was max between two)
1)atlanta to irving, to temple tx,to alrlington, back to irving, 2)then to roselle , il and nice snow packed freeway- (10 JK trucks in median- ) 3)dead head to new london, Wi ,PU to tollesson, AZ 4)deadhead to Hel-LA(i've got plenty of four wheel x-pericnce in so-cal, but the rig was a new challenge(FUN) ) PU nestle to salt lake city-

My trainers home- been stopped for two days- good rest ,
Headquarters here for central - they have a nice headqtr's building , but driver qtr's are prison like- A few of the girls over in the main office are real looker's ! have'nt swooped on any names yet , but will work on that-

So today i sat down with the o/o guy- trying to sift thru all the BS i here from driver's and lease/ o/o people- i've heard so many different stories,. i had to go to a more consistent source- I'm still 3-4 months away from that step , but i'd like to be well versed on the structure before the day comes-

I've heard some guy with central who said he's running up to 5k a week, o/o making 3g's a week, Net of expenses- that's the sort of stuff i'm sifting thru-
Any body else have some relialbe lease income reality stories?
