    Premier is CR England they even show it on one of the pictures you can see England. That the school/ company they set up technically separate from CR England but it the same company. My point is will anyone hire you with new CDL and no experience. I bet Premier can set you up to go CR England if you can’t find a job. Then you will still end up going with their trainer for several weeks or 30,000 miles. Just something to watch out for if you trying to get job with new CDL and no experience.

    Yes Premier is CRE's school I think. I would think they could also get me in CRE or at least have better chances as a grad of their school.

    You're a good candidate for refrigerated trucking running 48 states.
    We can probably give you names of a dozen refrigerated companies that hire new grads.
    `
    All trucking companies give drug tests; it's the law.
    Most do hair follicle and a few may still give urine test.

    I went to CRE years ago when I started. Unless thing have changed you have basically a guaranteed job going to their school. I thought it was free training or it’s free if you work for them after getting CDL. When I went they had trouble of drivers quitting basically going for free training. So they changed it made driver take a loan or pay themselves and they they would pay you ack as long as you did not quit.

    CT...if i'm not mistaken England owns Premiere just as Werner owns Roadmaster.

    I might be wrong since England requires 3 months exp now.

    thank you, any info would be appreciated.

    as far as drug tests, I do not do drugs nor do I drink so that is a non issue for me.

    I went through cr englandd in 2013 through that school. It was good training, the company made sure of it since they had me working there for six months afterwards. I think it is a longer contract now, but still free training and a guaranteed job to get you started with is a good deal.
