    As others have said, take CRE off your radar. They don't exist. Period.

    Beyond that, Prime ain't the best, either. Do a bit of research on here, check with your local workforce to see if you qualify for an FOIA Grant (the gov't will pay for your schooling), or even go through Swift Driving Academy (yeah, they get razzed here a lot, but its really a better overall situation than most training companies). Do your year in purgatory, then bail for something decent.

    If Swift doesn't make you an indentured servant for 8 weeks or whatever it is now like Prime does I'd go with them. Saw lots of people get roped into Primes so called training for months without getting their own truck.

    I had to plead guilty to be able to take the traffic school option so i guess they would be able to see it even though its not on my DMV driving record

    I also was looking into Swift and Millis. Prime is my main choice but i will look into others if i dont get accepted. I mainly chose prime because they have Tanker and i heard a lot positive things about them. Multiple people here said CRE is bad so i might rethink that one

    If it doesn’t show on your dmv driver’s abstract report ( your “record”) it does not exist & they can’t find it.

    don’t say a word about it. I’ve done this before myself. Trust me, your thinking to much into it.

    I started at Prime and a guy in my class I stayed in touch with loved their tanker division. The biggest downside was it took him 6 weeks to get a truck after training. It's food grade only but I bet it would be a great stepping stone to haul much better paying hazmat tankers after a year.

    I might be thinking about it to much but i don't want to say no on the application and then find out about it and deny me because i lied.

    Exactly, it was 3 years ago & I don’t think it will make a difference, besides you have nothing to worry about once you disclose it. If they don’t take you there’s many more companies to choose from.

    I think the yearly notice ended recently.
