    lots of paperwork, stand in line, lots of paperwork, they have a cafeteria down stairs but weather it's open when you go there or not is a different story. when I picked up students outta burns some said it was open and some said it was closed. guess it depends on their mood that week. o and did i say lots of paperwork ?

    **For Those Without A CDL** The first few days is a bunch of paperwork. The first week is getting you ready to take the exams. The next week is learning to backup the truck. The next week is learning to drive and take CDL Roadtest Once passed all of that you will be placed with a Phase1 trainer for 30days After 30days return to school for Phase1 Upgrade(about 2 or 3 days) After Phase1 Upgrade get placed with a Phase2 Trainer for approx 12days if leasing or 60days if going company. After the Phase2 time return to school for Phase2 Upgrade (1 or 2days);also get trained as a Phase2 Trainer. Then you either lease a truck or get a company truck **If leasing really suggest 6-month demo to make sure leasing is for you**

    They're trying to recruit my husband who is coming of a medical restriction for cancer after 10 years. He also has limited sight in the left eye. Should I try to talk him out of it-- even CRST won't touch him at this time due to the eye issue. He drove with it for over 11 years before the cancer.

    I have not drove in a long time, and do not know anyone who has ever drove for CRE. But their starting pay is .25CPM and does not improve much the first year. Thattells me they are not much more than a training company and plan on staying that way. If your husband is going OTR he needs to make at least some decent money , not the low pay CRE pays. However if it helps your husband get back in it and it is his only choice, than it might be worth it.

    I will try to make this short. I went through 160 driving academy in peoria illinois, i enjoyed the school. I was sponsored by england. My contract for them to pay for my schooling is supposed to be nine months. well i got a little upset with my training and left for a few days. I called them back to get something else going and been getting the run around for the last month. I guess my question is, can i go elsewhere while im supposed to be under contract with them? though i think its a breach of contract by not helping me. I hope all that makes sense .
