C.R. England Harrisburg review

entering the 3rd week.

last week, everyday is pretty much the same.
pre-trip inspection, air break test, road driving , then off-set backing and 90 backing. Not entirely in that order.

We begin taking are CDL test this week. We still have almost 30 students so AAA school have spaced out our testing into the 4th week. Which I personally believe is good idea, *if you can pass your CDL after you 14 day waiting period is up (mandatory for PENNDOT) you can test if a Testing trainers is available..
AAA has two authorized testers on site, So you don't have to leave the school to test for your CDL

AAA instructors so far have been pretty decent at training the class to pre pare for the PennDOT CDL test. Just for the record, AAA is contracted by CRengland only to train us on the basics in order for us to pass the CDL< the phase1 and phase 2 of training with a actually CRengland trainer will cover the rest. * 5th wheel slide, tandem slide, parallel parking, scales, logbook, qualcomm, ect. ..

CRengland $9000 cost is also covering your transportation (if they paid for it) Hotel cost, 87$ , fuel, ect. all the other nickel and dime ####. That full fee does not apply to everybody, that is just the Max they can sue you for.
During your phase 1 /2 you can buy yourself out for a minimum of 2,400. Which I know a few student in my class have already said they were going to do, since they have taken job offers with other companies. I personally will honor my contact, * experience

The Hotel -Howard Johnson is disgusting/ Several students have had issue with bedbugs. Apparently they just move you to a new room and fumigate the old one. I was told that CRengland was aware of the problem since this has been a on going issue. But I believe as I was told in "hear say" that hotel blames the students ( I can see why, considerer some of the students are at rock bottom) , CRengland blames the hotel ( again I can see why on that issue as well- House keeping never changed my sheets , never cleaned the bathroom, never vacuum the entire room, among other issues until I complained )...

But all in all , AAA school is fun, good trainers, good people.

 

have heard this from other students. one of which requested a new phase 1 trainer, due to a "personal hygiene" issue. Im under the impression after speaking with a CRengland rep, that lot of these issue that were problematic in the past are being dealt with. CRengland has no problem what so ever in switching you with different trainers if there is issue. Also I understand that all new student as of January 2016 will be getting brand new international prostar trucks (automatic transmissions) once phase 2 is completed. All of the older trucks are being taken out of service as they become to costly due to constant repairs .
