    My wife and I are getting bored waiting for a trainer here at CR England. We have been here since last Wednesday night. 10 days
    She just got her license. I did the refresher course in Texas. Maybe they will let us go out as dumb and dumber until we upgrade or something.
    Last week their computer didn't think I was a student .... because I had solo upgraded 10 years ago here. :)
    So we hang out at the terminal, talk with people, and I check out the trucks that are available to lease.
     
    Belt Loop Thanks this.

    I have a few questions for you.What made you decide on CRENGLAND?Are you planning on leasing with them and if so why?Have you read the thousands upon thousands of horror stories on CRENGLAND?So why don't you just go home till you get assigned a trainer and have him meet you there?What is crengland telling you as to why no trainer yet?
     
    Belt Loop Thanks this.

    England was the only trucking company that was ready to take my wife as a newbie and last month decided they were ready to take me and "refresh" my driving skills. :) Most places wanted only me or her not both.
    I plan on leasing because I did it successfully here at England 10 years ago.
    They want us here and available for a trainer. Home right now is back near Dallas .... but that is a possibility. They are overwhelmed by students right now.
    They give us a place to stay for free and give us a little spending money for expenses. We are just ready to get rolling.

    ask any other questions you might have :)

    Why are they overwhelmed with students, is business good, or are people leaving?

    I just picked up a student there this morning. He was waiting 3 days for a trainer.

    my training coordinator was shocked when he realized it has almost been 2 weeks of waiting. They set us up with our next trainer this morning. So the waiting is over and we will have to actually earn some money now. :)
