    Well if you have read any of my posts, you know my brother works for CRE. he does train...and does well...but he don;t get home much...He asked me to come to CRE instead of Schnieder. SO he can train me and help me through my first year...It really don't sound that bad..And since i'm not looking to get rich ( i would just like to make $500 a week) I think it doesn't matter where I start my career. I have no idea if one company is better than a another your first year... Not really sure about me training one day...really do want to....But he is doing well... see no reason why I can't make it if I work hard. I have read horror stories about both companies.

    I wouldn't knock swift there csa score is way better then cr englands . Swift is #1 on the csa scores . They treat there drivers way better then England . Very Good program . Schniders csa score is good to . I'm telling you England has any more miss haps there gonna b shut down that's how bad there csa score is on top of the big law suet they got against them . Class action law suit . I was a trainer there I seen how the office personal talked and acted there to the students . You ask anybody that's been in this industry long time they will tell ya stay away from cre . Bad case of the clap . Nother good company out of Oklahoma Freymiller .

    Now I am lost here. The original post her says he runs average of 4000 mile right. Well to do that you would have to run over 4000 miles from time to time. I am still trying to figure out how with a truck goverened at 62 you can actually run 4000 legally every week without running out of your 70. I tried this great thing called math and it seams that if you take amount of hour you can legally drive in a 7 day trip(70) am multiply that by the top speed of a solo company truck(62) then u get 4340 miles which would mean not only no stoping for food but literaly not even taking your foot off the gas pedal. When o drove for them 3 years ago I pushed average of 2800miles and constantly flirting with a 36. I have my war stories from England also but I am moving on to bigger and better things. Finally getting back in a truck after a five year hiatus and sure as hell not going to England. I am going to ffe.

    His post was pure hog poop. If you were on a liquid-only diet and had a catheter installed with a 3 gallon bag, maxed out your drive time, jumping back on it the second your 10 was done, and kept your foot in the firewall.... you'd still run out of hours and have to take a reset.

    Oh, and load and unload on the fly, like inflight refueling. The BS flag is flying.

    a catheter installed with a 3 gallon bag:biggrin_25513: SUPER TRUCKING 101 ( TRUCKING BS FACTS for DUMMIES ) suggests just the catheter and 3' hose with hoe in the floor , saves time no need to empty the bag.

    You full of BS I was there for 6 months ...came home twice ..average 3000 mile aweek still behind.. Company charged you 14 cents per mile plus 7 more cents for reserved fun that average 750 a freeking week out your pocket. With Roehl I got all of that plus .50 cents a mile for fuel compared to your Rodney,Chester England big time thief .32 cents per mile for fuel. ohh if you're a company driver 4 C R England you get 26 cents per mile to start..10 yrs experiece 32 cents...ohh if you got a flat tire try to come up about 900 plus for road service..you cant bs me 9 out 10 CR England drivers you talk to they tell you England family nothing but thiefs...ohhh by the way did the CEO of CR England just got caught stealing students money.how about that to brag about England..

    I think some aspects are missing from your post. I drive about 3k a week and I bring home 800 to 1200 a week. If you can't make a income on 3000 miles a week then something happened to put you behind.
