I run team with celadon. I love this company, can honestly say I don't have anything bad to say about them. But just like any other company, how well you do with a company is based off of the work you put into it.

The Pilot off the Atlanta, GA. 285 bypass is to be avoided. It is the one located on Bouldercrest Rd. It's in a rough part of town, and parking is free, so you can imagine what type of activity you can expect.
Another thing to keep in mind, is that some drivers look for anyplace that their truck will fit. However, this can be a huge mistake as Jason Rivenburg found out back in 2009. Thank goodness they were able to bring his killer to justice, with a life sentence without parole.
Here is an article about the crime, and his family's efforts to seek legislation for safer truck parking. It is a subject that all drivers need to give serious consideration, before shutting down for the night.
Slain Truckers Family Seeks Legislation for Safer Truck Parking
holy crap I had no idea, I parked there 2 weeks ago. But I paid for reserve parking, the lot was full.

Company CDL training programs with short after-graduation contract times?
Not a knock on age Nathan. Don,t take it personally. I would assume that you have read this entire thread. Richard seems to want something for nothing. You don't sound like that guy. Yes, Older and Wiser. I have been working almost twice as long as you have been alive, not a knock, just a fact. We learn from our successes and FAILURES! I have plenty of both. Richard seems to think that he can start at the top with no investment of either time or experience. Again that does not sound like you. You started at the bottom and are working your way up in your early 20's. I am going to start at the bottom and work my way up in my mid 50's. His age was only one of 7 questions that I posed to him, then followed up with some of my stats. I'm trying to get the big picture from him so people on this Forum can help him to see if this career is for him, or if his expectations don't match up with reality. That's all. Keep working hard, save lots of money, and you won't end up like this Old Man trying to catch up on the money HE DIDN'T save in his 20's and 30's
Haha completely agree with you, I've read this whole post and I'm guessing the OP will not be showing back up here. I was just stating, some people just never grow up even if their age is older.

Hey kaydie welcome to the team! My brother and I run team with celadon. He went through training in Indy and said there is no alley dock for the cdl test, but they will teach you how to alley dock when you go to orientation after you get your cdl.

I have a question for you Tractor man. What does the OP's age have to do with anything? And before you get started with a post about the older the wiser the more experience type stuff, I'm 22 years old out here doing the same thing as everyone else. Not all young people are ignorant or self entitled little *******s, i would say just about 95% are.

The steering is so darn tight in a car compared to a truck so I tend to jerk the car going down the road.
