    Im just giving my opinion There may be a great company out. My point is CR England is not one of them and I personally only seen two CR England and Wal-Mart. Again I said I have friends with other companies large companies that dont care about their employees. Wal-Mart doesnt train you to drive their trucks you must already have 3 years experience before you get there so not the same as these large companies that bus you to one of their many trainging grounds to learn half ##### how to drive a big truck and not give a #### about you once you sign that paperwork.

    I/We appreciate that. :yes2557:
    There are!
    They're just not that easy to find. And when y'all do, it's likely they're not easy to get on with, and/or have a waiting list ----
    Because their drivers tend to be satisfied and remain there for years, if not their entire careers.

    Many of those better truckin' companies are smaller with some being specialty companies that don't find it necessary to advertise ----
    Other than word-of-mouth.

    However, if y'all keep your ears open, y'all just might hear those mouths talkin'.
    Not by a L O N G shot! :biggrin_25512:
    Keep your eyes open, they're out thar.
    I don't doubt that a bit.

    Seems to me, the object of goin' with one of the larger truckin' companies for trainin' and experience, is to prepare y'all for a better, SMALLER, truckin' company that will know y'all by name and treat y'all right.

    Why folks jump from one large truckin' company to another large truckin' company, ----
    Expecting different results, never ceases to amaze me.
    That is correct.
    But if you think drivin' for a Wal*Mart account, or directly FOR Wal*Mart is attractive ----
    It's something to aspire to.
    Ya reckon.

    Some truckin' companies are a better fit than others, but the ones that are a perfect fit are few and far between. And the better truckin' companies tend to pick the cream-0-the-crop Big truck truck drivers.

    My advice?
    Use the time with a larger truckin' company for the experience necessary to rise to the top while keepin' y'all's ears, eyes and mind open to find those better companies. They're out thar ----
    But they ain't lookin' for y'all.
    NopE!
    Y'all have to look for THEM.
    Seek and ye may find. :yes2557:

    I went to the Indiana school. You will be at the bus station in the middle of no where. Your bus will prob get in very early bu they tell you to call the hotel for a ride. Well they wont show up until 830-900. The hotel isnt too bad have to say of all the CR England schools its the better of them but still bad. Your hotel is the Hometown Lodge which is owned by CR England. You will get a roommate. Only plus side to the place is free long distance calls lol. The school is about 30 -45 mins away from the hotel. The school setup is really big, so big there arent enough teacher to help you out. If you say you have your Class A then you will be there for about 3 days. You will go through a class that will cost you $500 dollars. Yes $500 dollars bet they didnt tell you that on the phone. It will be deducted from your first pay check. You will need to take a physical from their chiropractor lol its funny you will see. After you pass their physical you will get your fuel cards and a packet to take tests while you are on the road. Once thats all done you will be taken back to the hotel to wait for your C.A.T. Trainer. You will be training for 4 weeks they change this monthly its crazy when I was there is was 15000 miles now its 4 months. You will only make .12 cents a mile where your Trainer makes .90 of all miles driven this goes for the both of you. Now say upi do 5000 miles a week which is very doable with teams you will make 600.00 a week minus taxes and your advance you will end up taking that. Whatever fees you will have for the school will also be deducted from that as well. Now you must do this for 4 weeks this is very difficult to survive on unless you get a good trainer who will help you out here and there. But its the real deal now if you get no miles you get no check but you still owe them so they will put it off and take more when you do have a check. When all your training is complete you will be taken to Salt Lake City UT for some more classes and safety training. This place is crazy you sleep 8 to a room and share a bathroom its crazy I wanted just get done and get out. They have a place to eat in there a gym laundry its a nice setup on the first floor until you get up to the rooms. When all your classes are done which is a joke because they are all for lease ops even if your going company you still must goto these classes because they want you to lease bottom line, you will choose your truck and wait and i mean wait for a load and wait for a trailer which are assigned to you. Its alot of information but hope it helps. If you want more infor let me know ill gladley give you my cell number and help you out. Good Luck!!!!

    As I've stated earlier, steer clear of Crooks Run England! They are
