Thanks Daniel,

Did you go through the training at Central to get your cdl? If so how was it? I'm really leaning towards Central. I was just a little leary because it seemed so easy. You know what they say if it sounds to good to be true it usually is. I filled out application and was literally offered free training and a job within 10 minutes. I have been applying at several other companies for about a month now.

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this forum and the trucking world. I have been looking into some company sponsored training. I have two companies that have told me they would train me and give me a job after training. The recruiters are telling me different stories so I just kind of want to see if anyone has experience with either Central or CRST?

I am leaning towards Central just because I think I would prefer being a solo driver. They also pay a bit more. CRST told me that Central pays more because they don't offer as many miles. Of course I don't know if that's true or just them trying to persuade me.

I would like to find a good company to spend some time with but I know as a new driver just getting that experience is most important.

Another thing I like about Central is they let you take the truck home. I don't know how that works at CRST. I'm assuming you just leave your personal car at the terminal and then drive home from there.

Can anyone here share your experiences with either Central or CRST? Thanks so much. I'm really looking forward to this opportunity. I have always wanted to be a truck driver and am finally taking the leap.
