    I hate to stick up for such a crap company as cre but this readout sounds like a problem with the op, not the company. Get sick and can't get to your doctor? Find a walk in clinic. One in almost every town in America. Need a prescription refilled? Have your pharmacy and it to the walmart that you are near by. Don't have food and can't pay your bills? Learn to budget and so blowing all your money. Even cre tells ya a realistic expectation of income there. Learn to live with in expected income.

    I get a giggle out of these guys that are told they will only make 350 a week or whatever it is during training and then whine they can't pay their bills on it. Yes it's low pay, but you know that going in.

    Cr England is crappy. Always was. Always will be. End of story. They think truck drivers are robots. Sucker born every minute.

    How is it cre's fault a guy won't have his home pharmacy transfer a prescription to a local one? How is it cre's fault a guy isn't competent enough to find a local walk in clinic when he gets sick?
    How is it cre's fault that a guy doesn't budget his spending to make sure he can pay his bills and buy food?

    Yes cre sucks. But for none of the reasons this thread addresses.

    So the guy went to a CDL mill, signed a contract, and didn't do the math to figure out if he could survive there. Add to that the inability to get his med's squared away. Always research the company you want to go with, Google is your friend.

    It's WAY better not to truck with any meds. Unless a exemption or something. If you are sick get out of that cab until you get better, wherever that may be. There have been times Ive had a doctor in say the Casper WY ER take a look at me once for example when I got mountain sick that night. A few hours set me right and back on the road no problem.

    The issue I think with Pharmacies is that Non narcotic meds (Schedule I through IV) are electronically transmitted now, no script allowed and all narcotics are paper script and seal. Whatever the home pharmacy is is where the meds are going to go. Have the wife overnight them to you while you are taking a Reset. 34 hours should be long enough somewhere to recieve the package by 10 am next morning anywhere in the USA.

    As far as the allegations that CRE dont care about food, bills etc. Stop blowing your dam money. Build savings even if it is a hundred dollars at a time. That is how you continue to stay fit through times in no miles or little miles.

    If you cannot make it work out there on the road, go home and work locally before you get divorced, sued for child support and possibly lose your home and everything else. Trucking is not for all.

    X1 you are way off with the prescriptions. Antibiotics prescriptions can be sent to any pharmacy in the country to be filled. It's narcotics (pain meds) that you run into problems with trying to get them out of state. And you shouldn't be driving while on pain meds anyway so that's not a big deal. Take 4 advil and suck it up.

    I don't know what you are trying to do telling me to suck it up. What a shame you need to take a shot. Enjoy your time on the ignore list. Your post would have been much better without that cheap shot.

    Sounded like my kids goring up. Can u do it for me. Every problem you mentioned other than the poor pay is your own fault. Figure out solutions to your problems and move forward.
