Default Questions about Central Refrigeration.

I live in the Birmingham , Al. area, and they have a school here. Do any of you veterans know much about them, or what you might have heard ?

Bamalu, have you done a search here for Central Refrigeration? I'm sure there's comments galore about them.

This is the first I have heard of Central Reefer having a school there. Is this a new facility? They didnt even have a terminal there when I worked for them in 05/06.

All the Central R drivers I've talked to didn't like the company.

Bamalu...I drive for Central Refrigerated Service...if that's who you are speaking of??.....HQ is in Salt Lake City, UT......I never heard of a school in Alabama though.

Reefer company. Being a company driver there sucks....must be an O/O to get a good load. I wouldn't recommend it for someone new to trucking.

Hope this helps.

As a former company driver with Central, I agree with Rocket Dog. O/Os always get the better runs.

Which isnt a bad deal if your an O/O!!
