So i've applied at and was accepted by Swift. I am to start school as soon as I give a date to leave for Phoenix, AZ for their CDL school. Then tonight I talk to someone who drives for CR England, and he seemed very level headed and informative, and told me to give CR England a try.
I was thinking about applying for CR England for the mere fact that their school is in Mira Loma, CA (about 20-30 minutes from my home) as opposed to Swift's being in Phoenix, AZ.
So I come to this forum looking for some answers and information on CR England and I found nothing but dirt on England, much like Swift... Did any of these drivers who do nothing but dirt Swift and England actually attend these schools or what?
I know this forum is full of nothing but information, but it has honestly discouraged me from this industry quite a bit! I know I want to drive a truck, but what is someone like my self who has absolutely NO over the road training and no CDL to do?
If I was to choose one or the other, what would everyone here recomend? I'm kind of at a stand still now after reading the forum quite a bit.
Someone please help!!
CR England vs Swift Trans? HELP!

If you're from Fontana, why didn't you go with Schneider?
-
Well, i'm actually in the High Desert, just like yourself.... I just planned on going with Swift and their terminal is in Fontana so I put my location there when I first signed up...
Does Schneider offer schooling and such like CRE and Swift?
What would be my chances of getting on with Schneider as opposed to CRE/Swift
I'm not too informed on all the different companies, thats why i'm here. -
Don't know if that's true or not though. I read their contract from their website and it says nothing about that. Schneider is who I think I'm going to sign on with. Of course, the way things are on this board, that will probably change in 5 minutes. -
Haha, I couldnt agree more with that! I was certain I was going to Swift till I came here, I'm going to apply with Schneider here in a bit... I've not seen NEARLY as much bad things about Schneider as i've seen with CRE/Swift.
Why is this? Do they pay more, more professional? What exactly makes them better? -
I went thru Schneidr's training in Fontana almost 5 years ago, and I was and still am impressed with their training, and approach toward safety.
As for pay, I couldn't say on that point. I know SNI just kicked their pay up, I believe in Sept. -
Awesome, i'm about to fill out their online application right now...
I didnt know they had one close like CRE...
What would you say my chances of getting on with Schenider would be opposed to the other two companies? -
I think Schneider's payscale is actually at the bottom of industry standard. Supposedly they have a very low turn over though, so they must be doing something right.

Cool, well I just completed the Schenider app. Hopefully they get back with me! Swift called less then 24 hours after I submitted, hopefully I have the same luck with Schenider.
