He probably has. Just too bad that half of that went into his lease payment and another 20 percent into fuel, etc etc etc.

To be fair, I would say that all of the big companies push their lease programs. Its a big money maker for them. John Christenson only has lease drivers now, no more company owned vehicles, so I would say they push theirs the hardest of anyone! You either lease or dont work for them.....

I've talked to a few Central Ref drivers and they say it's a great place to work.Many ex.CRE drivers work there as well.

I know that there is a central refer down the road from CR England in salt lake city utah and that if the students fail at england they go sign on to central refer to get another try at being a truck driver, I considered them once until I knew they were affiliated with Swift and decided id quit truck driving before id go with them, I want nothing to do with swift and any of their affiliates myself but they may do you good. Good Luck

However they are closely alligned with them. Central buys all their trucks through Swift. Let's also not forget that the guy who ran Swift into the ground, Jerry Moyes, owns Central.

He didnt run swift into the ground he just got caught doing insider trading .

Might as well be- This was taken from a press release back in November when he was attempting to buy out Swift. PHOENIX, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 06, 2006 -- Swift Transportation Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: SWFT) confirmed today that it received a letter from Jerry Moyes, the Company's largest shareholder, a current Director, and a former Chairman of the Board and CEO of Swift, proposing to acquire all of the Company's outstanding common stock in an all-cash transaction at a price of $29.00 per share.

This from Heavydutytrucking.com- His company, Swift Transportation, headquartered in Phoenix, Ariz., is the leading public truckload carrier with more than 18,000 power units and another 3,000 owner-operators. Yet it is only part of the Moyes empire that also includes Central Refrigerated and a majority interest in Central Freight Lines.

I think it's safe to say that Central Ref, Central Freight and Swift are pretty heavily intertwined.
