I got my life in order and stated looking for schools I have a recruiter to find me school very nice guy but sadly he wanted me to go to swift and I have heard some bad things so I said no to that one... then came C.R England and I havnt heard good or bad but from the exprince Iv been having its not giving a good inpression for 2 months now I have been try to get the lady recruiter who has my name to call me back the other recruiters wont work with me cause I am her person I guess I finally got a hold of her via E-mail and she told me to call on the 2nd and we would get the bus ticket stuff dealt with .. so I called and got a voice mail and I am still waiting to get my info. I was to start school on the 7th but I dont think I will be.... Does anyone have a school they think is good I should ty and go through??? I seem to be having No luck ....

I wouldn't go to England. I work for Central Refrigerated, which is right down the street, and every week there's at least 1 or 2 former England drivers coming to Central.

Central has a driving school, I've heard it's about $2000, and it ends up being fairly easy to repay. I guess if you lease a truck through them after 3 months, you can get the balance of the loan written off, but I wouldn't advise leasing a truck from anywhere until you've had some experience under your belt.

You could try contacting Central, you'd be pulling reefers, but it's not that big of a deal. I didn't go through their school, so I don't know how good it is, but you can always look into it.

Are there any private trucking schools or....

a community college in your area ? Check into it because you might be better off doing it that way.
