    So I have read a lot of the old threads and all I can say is , Oh no...My husband just left for CR England training. He is committed. What, realistically should we do now?

    watch your back
    everything isn't always as it appears on here
    mostly it is the guys on here that don't make it
    there are drivers for CRE that are happy
    others put in their time get experience and move on
    unfortunately paid training to get your CDL is fraught with problems

    Go company only, stay away from the lease fleece program. Hopefully you are not in dire straights yet so that he has to lease. Put his time in and get out asap, it may take a year. Save as much money as you can for when the slowdowns come seasonally also.

    Your husband should fulfill his commitment & then re-evaluate his situation to decide when or if he should make a move.

    All the "starter" companies are the same. CRE is no better or worse than the rest of them.

    Well hopefully he will get a above average phase 1 trainer, that is when the real fun starts. Also do not let their (CRE) scare tactics about the tuition loan scare him from looking for other job opportunities after phase 1. He can negotiate whatever he can afford to payback at a later time. He is neck deep in the Mormon Mafia now!
