    Personally I would not sign a contract,
    I believe that with any company you would have to go out with a trainer until they feel you can solo, The only time I have heard of anyone having to sign a contract was if the company paid or reimbursed you for the driving school. Swift and others do this.

    Cthern is right... Contracts are for newbies in school....to pay costs back. You don't sign a contract for time with the company just to get the job. That isn't a job worth having.

    i just found out that there is no contract with 'CRE' when yiu allready have your class (A) i was inform that ill be taking a refresher course. but 'CRE' will be charging me $900.00 for the course and taking $40.00 a week out of my check until its paid off. sounds crazy but it beats signing a $600.00 contract.for me right now "CRE" is the move actrully "CRE" is the only move for me.:yes2557:
