CRE has a lot of bad things.

 

at least what I hear from..

 

Prime has a pet policy. Kind of pricey, but it is refundable last time I checked.

 

Hey I totally understand, the company's with pet policy's to name a few is J.B. Hunt out of Houston they have a free rider and pet policy program and Convent transport is pet friendly is also a team driving company and will actually hire them first that is what they are all about.

 

Every company has its ups & downs, do's & don'ts. The only advise offered is to continue talking to other drivers deciding for yourself as to the direction you want to travel in life. Get the experience first keeping your nose clean on DAC/MVR & your CDL will take you anywhere. Never abandon or quit under dispatch or anything that would cost the company money to retrieve or re-power the load, they will/can put it on your DAC causing much grief on trying to get another job in the industry. In my 22 yrs of trucking I've worked for 5 companies and in the end they're all the same. Same Game Different Name!

 

CR England might be one of the worst or the worst to go with... Just do a search on here, even look at the last few threads in the Bad Company... just horror stories.

 

Are you looking for one that will send you through school as well?
If you can fork out about $400/person, both Lone Star College & San Jac have grants that will cover the rest of the tuition. Being a Texas vet, I used the Hazelwood exemption and only paid $4 plus cost of tests and uniforms
Lone Star is where me & my hubby are going. 1960 @ Hardy toll road.
San Jac campus is in Deer Park on Spencer Hwy

 

Be advised there are shippers/receivers that will not allow pets in the gate . If your pet means that much to you will you be comfortable leaving it at a guard shack for hours ?

 

I would also go with cr England until you get enough exp. Then start looking elsewhere.
