Smiley 5 Hi

You posted 2 days ago..which means if you had oreintation starting monday your already there, However, I researched the hotel online before i went there,found out it was suppose to be lice infested, almost decided not to go, but i went, got my cdl and left them, I was just there in April, didnt have a problem with lice, but stayed on the housekeeping crew for extra cleaning supplies and bought my own cleaning supplies and had a clean roommate that helps. The hotel is in hammond,in..bus takes 20-30minutes to take you to traing facility in burns harbor, good luck, I had a bad trainer and got off the truck after 6 days, I had been in trucking for 11 years, driving straight trucks for 10 years, so i decided even with all the bad stuff i read about cr england to tuff it out.

leaving for burns harbor

well aginst my better judgment i am going to go drive for the great england lol i will only be a company driver and they want me to start coaching after 30 days this is the reason i chose them i love coaching but i will keep everyone updated on what is going on and how things go since i know everyone will tell me i am a moron and well get screwed over in the end but i know how to work the system and make things work and i keep very good records so wish me luck and i will keep this updated
