Hi guys. With my situation being as it is I can not get my CDL on my own since I can not get the money for it. I ran across central refrigerated in a job search when I was looking for truck driving companies. They offer a school within 45 minutes of my house which they pay for up front and then you pay back.
I have heard horror stories about a lot of companies that offer this kind of training like swift and others but I looking at this company it doesn't seem that bad.
There student pay starts at $425 a week then on the 3rd week it goes to $500. When you start solo they start you out at .29 a mile which I guess isn't to bad with the .08 pier diem pay and they also have incentive and quartly safety bonuses.
Now this all looks good on paper like most companies do but I was looking for advice from some people that have had experience or heard about this company. With my not being able to afford school on my own this looks like a good way to get my CDL.
edit: also on average how many miles do you get a week? I see if you run 10,500 you get your .1cpm incentive but is this realistic to hit? Also on average how many nights home do you get? I'm not really concerned about the nights home since I'd rather put in miles and get more money but it is nice to know you'll be home more then 1 time a month.
