    Hello,
    Professional Drivers, NO this is not your shower call at the Pilot!


    UPDATE!!
    Im still running with England. I cannot believe I am nearing the 1 year mark and have 80,000 miles under my wing. I am a (Solo) Lease Operator & do not choose to train. I have read the posts on here about training "Phase -1" etc. Training is not a "Guarantee"! money maker! & it is not easy. If it was everybody would be doing it. I prefer SOLO.

    --Cr England Newbie Makes $80,000 - $60,000 = $20,000 (Net)

    !!!!! Amazing, are you saying you earned 80k, spent 60k in earning the 20k
    you had left at the end of the year?

    Or are you wanting an ex C.R. England O/O and trainer believe, hand over heart, staring at the flag of the USA, that you drove that many miles solo? You kept the truck rolling 22 hrs a day?

    It's the only way it would work out. I want to buy whatever it is you buy
    which keeps you driving 22 hrs without ending in a hospital.

    Oh, how many sets of books do you use?

    20K is a small salary these days for working an 80 hr week.

    Maybe this guy is from Romania? :biggrin_2557: Or a recruiter? Someone find him....verify this b.s.

    hahahaha - I just figure it's some recuiter desperate to meet his/her

    quota. I met a recuiter at a MATS show in Kentucky. Her first job had

    been to answer the phone, bored with that, she asked to be transfered

    and made a recruiter. Some background hmm? I was so IMPRESSED!:biggrin_2557:

    Whoa, whoa....you are nearing the one year mark and have (gasp!) 80,000 miles? I hope you're no closer to the year mark than about 4 months. Any closer than that and....well, never mind.

    You, sir, are more than welcome.
    Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
    I reckon C.R. England deserves some of the credit though. If not for what CRE is, you probably wouldn't have found Pinewood.

    Look at it this way, you're one of a very few who have gone to CRE, survived the experience, and actually reached your goal, --- albeit with a company other then C.R. England.
    That's great news Cowboy.
    Nothin' we like to read more than a success story
    Especially one with a scary beginnin'.

    Best of success to you.
