hello all again. first of all i might be wrong about the 3 months to be a trainer. sorry about that. so far the report is that CR England really has their training program together. (still in the first week) At least that is his experience so far. He has 3 more days of truck and classroom training and then 30 days with an OTR trainer learning company rules and driving and then 35 days with a trainer learning the leasing program. Looks like they show you both. so anyway looks really good so far. He is doing well and they are providing him with lots of info that will do him lots of good.. he said teh powerpoints and presentations are really detailed and really good. Said it has been so much better than the trucking school he went to a few years back. So that is the story so far.

have a good night all!

Great thanks so much for your reply. YES no lease!!!! hear it loud and clear from everyone and appreciate your kind words.

I am in no way saying it is a great company after 5 days i don't think we would have the knowledge we would need to make an analogy like that. I am sure there are issues there and some companies have more issues than others.. This is the one we chose at least for now and hopefully after the first year many doors WILL be open. and YES.. thanks so much for your advice. where would we be with out the help of each other in this big world! I love seeing all of your replies and comments. have a great night!

Geez at least if they are gonna put you in a rathole hotel, the least they could let you do i visit the strip club. Whats so wrong with visiting it if your not drinking alcohol

He says the hotel he is staying in is really nice. but there is one that is not very nice. so far so good we will see about day 3. that will be the second class day.

I didn't think "nice hotel" and "Hammond, IN" went together!

Keep us informed, and good luck!

Ask yourselves this:
If y'all aren't interested in the lease program -- at this time -- why are they SO eager to put a trainee through an additional 35 days to learn about something they're NOT interested in?

The answer MIGHT be because if they wait on the lease propaganda, a newBee will learn NOT to fall for it.

Tell us how good it looks when he informs C.R.E. that he's NOT interested in their lease program.

There was another poster here who told us all was goin' fine and dandy UNTIL he told 'em NO WAY on their lease program.
Right after that, C.R.E. sent him packin' back to New York.

Please keep us posted.
I/We wish y'all good luck, and are pullin' for y'all's success.
No matter WHERE it may be.
