6. anything else i missed.

And how is the rest of the hirin package?
 
Finding anybody who works there with any kind of seniority is a tuff task to answer your questions...Its not a company with a very good track record of driver retention...they have the "chewem up and spit em out" mentality when it comes to the help...good luck if youre thinking of wasting any of your time at this hell on earth company.
 
Unfortunately, some drivers who have worked for this company for several miserable years don't even know the answers to some of your questions.
 
I used to work at central transport, worst company I've ever worked for, and I've worked for some bad ones. Things could be better now, but I highly doubt that. I would suggest looking at just about any other ltl carrier, except vitran. I work out of columbus Fedex Freight now, if you have any questions about that I could help you, though at the moment we are a tad slow.
 
delay pay and breakdown pay, u eat the first hour then they pay u breakdown/delay pay not sure what ur rate would be its diff for everyone, and u get 5.75 to hook a set , nothing to break the set and i dont even think they give u chains lol let alone pay u to chain, and they starting pay differs from term to term
 
and if ur at a term waiting for ur freight and ur round trip miles are less than 500 then ur required to work the dock,if its more than 500 than typically ur freights usually ready and if not you dont wait that long :)
 
I used to do a 560 mile turn for them and worked the dock 2-3 hours at the break and then they wanted me to work the dock when I got back...I said no and It was like I pee'd in their cheerios...no lunch...no breaks...constant ball breaking and it is never enough for them...they want you for 14+ hours a day-night...they will make you feel like youre owned and have no choice...when their brilliant new ideas all fell apart like they always do from what Im told by many they lay you off...that was the best news I had from them...good riddence to loonies.
