Okay, it's CR England for me!

To anyone who has been following my dilemma and how I was so nervous these past 2 weeks or so over my NV suspension, I have good news. I have been accepted after all! I just found out this morning from my recruiter that they are taking me.

I did, however, ask that my start date be pushed up one more week only because there were so many things that I had to hold off getting done until I knew for sure that I would be getting in.

Now that I know, I can't just rush it all - so I will be taking a flight into SLC on March 1st to begin classes on March 3rd at CR England.

Such a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders!

Everything is now falling into place - I can begin packing and preparing for my journey! I want to thank you all who have been so helpful to me, I forget the nicknames off hand, I am sorry, but you all know who you are.

Grandma Demi and Debi, I do recall your nicks. lol - I'm going to be following your paths!

Please reply in this thread if you see it and let me know how your OTR training is going with CR England.

God, I can't believe the year is almost 1/6th over already! Seems like last week I was pulling my hair out dispatching taxis on New Year's Eve! Worked as a dispatcher and driver for taxis for 14 years, and last month decided NO MORE - I want a better career. If I'm going to drive, it's going to be driving something worth while!

I look forward to the trucking industry with great ambition! I'll be posting here as much as I can as I progress and become seasoned over the weeks, months, and probably years!

I just got back from K-mart where I got myself some more little odds and ends I was told to bring. A padlock, gloves, flashlight, calculator, stationary supplies, etc... I'm all set!

Thank you all!! And yes, I know, I know - I have been going through this forum with a fine tooth comb these past few weeks since I been getting myself ready for this and I saw all the horrible things about this specific company, but like I said in another thread, I want to get into the industry bad enough, I'll take whatever door opens.

Yes, if I have to do my year and run, I will, but for now, I'm going to stick it out. I look at it this way - if it's really as horrible as they say it is, well, then it's a good place to start because at least I'll know that when I leave and go somewhere else, it will be an improvement!

But I'll let you all know how I'm doing!

Think of me as the CRE guinea pig... LOL
