Leaving for CR England in Richmond, IN. in 2 days....never driven a stick shift

I'm going with Prime Inc., I would check out and like there facebook page a lot of great information there and read what the drivers are saying.

 

Free isn't always the best, But just listen, learn and make the best of it. get your cdl and a little bit of experence, Who knows you might make it work there.
What 6 month agreement to stay?
Not everybody at CRE is unhappy, But few come on here








P.S

I swore I would never click on a CRE thread again

 

Trust me, when you get out on the road with a trainer and you see how "So called professional drivers operate their equipment" your confidence level will go up considerably! Trust me you will be fine.

 

There goes the neighborhood and I think you scared her off.

 

Wait....Are you trying to tell us Prime isn't a bottom feeder?

My truck, trailer and APU payment totaled is less that Prime charges per week just for using their tractor. But thanks. I can always use a good laugh!

 

From the information on this forum, Central Refrigerated or Prime Inc. are the best options for trucking company training. Prime pays $600.00 per week while riding with a trainer. Neither company pushes a lease program. Don't even consider a lease program until you've been driving a couple of years.

Since you live in TN, also check with these 2 TN based companies that have their own CDL schools.
R.E. West and Milan Express

 

do NOT go to CRE. especially burns harbor. go to prime, roehl, millis. anyone but CRE. and swift.

 

Since you made the decision to go with England, then go but stick it out for 1 solid year at the least. Dont be like some of the Bunny Hoppers that have been with 5 companies in 1 year. That is a first class joke of a trucking Resume. Make sure you drive 1 full winters worth. Driving on high and dry roads is no great acomplishment. If you make it thru a full nasty winter, its all downhill for you.
