Well I am CRE trained and certified as an PH2 instructor. I searched and reviewed many trucking companies before deciding to go to the CR England school in Texas. The cost was $1,999.00 if you paid cash, which is what I did. You were also guatanteed a job if you passed your PH1 training course after recieving your CDL. After 2 weeks of school in Texas I got my CDL. I then went to Salt Lake City, Utah. After getting solo qualified by passing a 30 day Phase 1 training, I was hired. I then went on and passed my 60 day Phase 2 training. This allowed me to take a 6 hour class and actually become a Phase 2 trainer myself. Imagine that! I had exactly 90 days of OTR experience on a team truck, and I was now a trainer! Today is 7-12-11. Last weekend CRE had 4 rollovers! FOUR ROLLOVERS IN ONE WEEKEND!!!! This says something about the quality of their training program. In short they are a student mill. They recieve $10,000.00 from the government for everyone that passes the Phase 1 training. Add the cost the student pays ($2,999.00 if you don't pay cash up front) and that's about 13 GRAND for everyone they put on the road. Think twice before you embrace CRE. Not enough space here for the real dirt, but I could write a book about my 2 years there. HORRIBLE!!!!!! I now work for a friend of mine that has his own authority and I haul PRIME trailers for 76% of the line haul. And I run solo in my own tractor. I paid my dues with CR England. There are MANY better choices in a trucking company. Do your homework before deciding on a carrier. After CRE, I worked for 6 months for Knight Transportation, before going to my friends company. Knight was EXCELLENT! I would recommend them, as well as Central Referigeration. Life is good now, however I still have nightmares about CRE!

Got some proof, or is this just another truck stop coffee counter rumour?

Lol.....

An improvement?? Okay.

Out of all the mind-numbing arguments I've gotten myself into in the past about CRE, not one of them had anything to with being thin-skinned but if you wanna look at it that way, be my guest.
