    Hello to all,

    I have had my Class A since 1998 been driving Mixer trucks,Dump Trucks and pull a Tractor-Trailer here and there,not many jobs open in my area right now,trying to get a refresher and some time with someone who can train me so I can get Experience to get a better job.I just been through the C R England joke experience they were just trying to lease trucks and when I refused they made up me Jack knifing a trailer and sent me home,I'm looking at swift and waiting or a reply, Can anyone give me some advice?

    I did have a accident back in Aug 2011 but it was only 500 dollars in damage no fatality and the police said I wasn't at fault cause the person was in my blind spot.

    I will give a word of warning to anybody thinking of going to C R England Don't do it that much I figured out already!!!!

    And as far as LTL jobs due to the economy they are not available in my area.

    Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    They Made this up to send me home I never Jack Knifed I told them up front I had a backing accident and the recruiter told me that was fine so what I'm saying they turned a backing into a Jack Knifing they couldn't even tell me that due to the backing accident we are sending you home,the reason was simple they got money for me from the government and they were done with me because I wouldn't play there Lease our truck game,I sat at the greyhound station for 2 hours in Gary IN wondering if I had a ride home,I got a call finally From the Recruiter with a confirmation number and I asked if this can be fixed because I really want to drive for the company,his response was nasty and he said this you are lucky to get a bus ticket home:biggrin_25511:
