Since most sat radios have FM transmitter capability, installation is not a problem since it is easily removable. $50 for an antenna that mounts on the mirror mount and then run the cable inside to wherever you mount your radio. I mounted mine with double stick velcro on top of my CB. Found it was the best place to be able to see and operate.

Day 1 - Buttload of paperwork. After lunch, time to start the information overload. About a half dozen individuals are obviously there for vacation because they're cutting up in class and ain't paying attention. Prime example of those that ##### about the company.

Day 2 - More info.... DoT test tomorrow for learners permit. Late night tonight studying for General Knowledge, Air Brakes and Coupling....

Day 3 - Nailed the test.. 94%, 95% and 96%. Back to school for more info. In the trucks on Friday for backing.

Day 4 - More info... 13 didn't pass the written test. Some are going home already. The rest will test tomorrow.

Day 5 - In the trucks. Straight line backing and offset backing... Tomorrow is parallel parking and test out if we feel comfortable with it.

Day 6 - In the trucks again. Parallel parking and practice. Took the backing test. Nailed it. No points scored against me.

Day 7 - Off.. YEAH!!!!!! (Those that didn't test on Saturday test today for backing..)

Will add to this thread later as the week goes on. On the road starting Monday, with final DoT road test on Friday.

Initial impressions so far. Decent company. The people that ##### and moan about CR England are those that have been yanked back into headquarters for log violations or accidents. Most of the O/O and Lease Operators I've talked to have good things to say about the company. Company drivers as well have good things to say. Those that I've heard bad mouth the company are those that don't want to do things the company way and get their butts put into a sling.

Will add more later. Time to do laundry and take a shower.. I'm BEAT!!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... See you in a few months cuz thats about how long those people worked there 4. Most of the vets of CRE were there back when the fleet was all FLDs of about 400 trucks after the 4 schools they have now and the 4k plus trucks things have changed there. They dont care about turnover cuz their schools are always full and they can put ### to seat one after another. Their cdl instructors are cool and do their jobs well ill givem that. After you get your cdl you shoulda walked down the street to central. Although not a fantastic company. They would be better for a newbie. I have been driving trucks since i was 18 slinging logs around michigan. Then went do drive otr for england i was happy for about 6mos then moved on. More money elsewhere. All the best bro

Only good thing I could say for CR was, you did get paid. Assuming your paperwork didnt get lost by the company. LOL

No I do not drive; however any lease seems "too good to be true."

Yea, remember Grandma Debbi, another giddy leasee that just kind of dropped out of sight. They must hire ex used car salesman to put the hard sell on newbies to sucker them into a fleese. And thats after they come on here and here everybody say, don't do it.
What is it they have on the back of their trailers... train, lease, drive
I have to laugh every time I see that.
