Also, as a woman, is C R england a bad place to work?
Thanks-

can't you go back to your former school and inquire as to how much a refresher course there will cost..??

the schools i have worked at, have either charged $1,500 or $1,000 for a refresher..

as fir CR England, i can only repeat what i hear and that is they try to get you to go team or lease your own truck, which i highly advise you stay away from... you can try swift and werner, but the same thing applies here as well, refresher training...

Rerun can a guy make $50k their first year of being a instructor in driveing school(lol)(LOL)LOL)

Can you help Lupe get on when he gets a few years in?

I had a nephew who went to Swift with no experience. They had their own school, he had to commit to them for a year I think. Though he left Swift after his time was up, he got his CDL A (XT). I went through a school and many companies back then (14 years ago) reimbursed you a percentage of your school cost. But do stay away from the lease programs. As for teams, to each his own. You will get more miles and for a woman it may be safer to have a partner, at least until your get a year or two under your belt. Personally I hate trying to sleep in a moving truck.
