    I enrolled in CR England Premier truck driving school in November a couple of years ago and these are just three things of off the top of my head that really irked me, even though I did stick it out, because I felt like I had no choice at that time. First of all, one of my yard trainers had something against me and gave something to the head instructor saying that he found it on the seat after some yard training. I mean, with the passion and all of the blood tests, I wouldn't be so stupid. When the head instructor called me into the office I really believe that this yard trainer thought that I was on my way home. what's funny to me is it looked like some sort of nutritional supplement pill but if the head instructor we would not have trusted in my sincerity as much as he did, I would have been at the bus station 15 minutes later... I know this because I watched this happen numerous times over the course of a couple weeks.secondly, my trainer when I finally got over the road was a really great guy, worked his ### off and taught me how to. The dispatcher that he had to work with was undoubtedly racist and I have no doubt that he had something against him. the loads that this guy was sending him were irrational and so spread out that you could tell that he was trying to break him. Thirdly, CR England owns the hotels that they put the students in in Indiana and they were so infested with bedbugs. After the first night with hundreds of bites about my body I complained at the front desk. He put me in the room right next to it! I complained that morning to the administration and fortunately they sent myself and my roommate down the hall which seemed to help a lot.I'd never had the experience of bed bugs until then, and I hope I never do again. I have pictures, my moderately small arms swelled up like Popeye and it felt like the itch went all the way into the bone marrow.this lasted for a couple of weeks and I had to buy a really stiff scrub brush just to ease the pain.I'm new to this forum but I would be happy to post one of the pictures to show that I'm not just dogging CR England. My swollen forearms were red, purple and some shade of yellow green. everyone acted like it wasn't a big deal, but it sure the hell was a big deal to me.it was one of those pains that makes you wish you could die for a while.

    one more thing. Dennis, my over the road truck trainer was really smart and sly. Used to take the loads that this unruly dispatcher would send him and trade them 2 other CR England drivers for loads better for him and everyone came out happy. :)

    The SLC facility had major bed bugs too. I think it was about two years ago when I was there and the upstairs was completely shutdown for bug bombing.

    I notice the picture of your arm on the far right. The bed bugs bit you in the shape of 5 like on a dice. Guess I'm getting off subject...lol

    The really sad thing about this is the fact that, even with the multitudes of "CRE sucks" threads, there are still throngs of idiots that will read them and then ignore the countless posts from experienced drivers telling them to stay away and listen to the very small percentage of CRE cheerleaders and sign up anyway only to come back later and cry because...






    ... wait for it...



    ... CRE sucks.

    Well, the situation for some folks might be that England is the only company that will take them.
