      Aye no problem. I'm glad to help. Hopefully the vid gave enough information with your research. I tried not to sugarcoat it, just the real truth about them.

    They didn’t hire me cause I have 2 points on my license from like 5 years ago. Before I got my CDL. It’s crazy but yet sysco hired me. And I hate sysco

      Yeah that's crazy. Usually from what people say is that central is like the swift of ltl, meaning they hire new guys like us lol.

    They told me to go for an interview, when i get there they say my application has been rejected lol
    Then i arrive home and i get another message to go for an interview. I call to figure out whats going on and they say it was probably an automated message and that they dont have to give us a reason as to why reject. I have all my endorsements, clean license, but no experience.

    Line Haul drivers where I used run LTL, just drive the freight terminal to Terminal, no touch freight.

      Probably. Only happened once. I already knew something like that was gonna happen eventually. The company makes us do trailer swaps at a couple truckstops around midnight.

      Yeah they hired me brand new out of cdl school. How much you get paid depends on your terminal. Some get paid more than others. My terminal i was making like $80k a year, others pay less or more.

    This company is cutthroat like a boot camp. I was with them 6 months in Sacramento in 2022. Pay can be decent and if you can’t fight with other workers for forklifts on the dock AFTER a full shift of linehaul driving overnight.

    • @FlavioMarceloDado-ey7kk
      @FlavioMarceloDado-ey7kk Год назад

      Haha I do have a pulse . I am from Washington state with 6 months of otr experience. The only reason I want to work there to get a local job . But it seems like they are taking forever to make a decision. I got a call from them and I answer sum questions and the only thing I asked the lady how long I will it take to get a call back . And she replied we will call again if interested. I am guessing it’s slow season in winter so that why I haven’t heard back yet .

    • @AlexMartinez-bw9dm
      @AlexMartinez-bw9dm  Год назад +3

      I got all my endorsements the first month I got the cdl. The hardest test was the doubles and triples, everything else was just common sense questions basically, they pretty easy. The hardest part of the hazmat to some can be the fingerprint because they do a background check I believe, and us newer cdl holders have to take an eldt test prior to taking the written exam. Did you get your endorsements yet. My bad on the late reply

      Not that I seen personally, but I saw some other person in the comment section mention that his terminal did a hair test. Everyone I know personally though from my terminal and others did a urine test.
