The time I almost got into CR England

Gather around folks, storytime.
So couple months back in March I applied online for C.R. England, before doing any research on trucking. I just applied because that was the first company that popped up on local job sites and I figured that's how it works, you apply to the what's local to your area lol.

It was surprisingly easy, just goto their site, put in your DL number, yada yada. To my surprise, a recruiter called me SAME day, later in the evening. Now here's what I didn't mention, I actually went on a trip to Amsterdam a month prior and got lit up like mad!

Dude asks me about my criminal background, driving record, and then he asks if I can pass a drug test. I'm thinking to myself "Well, it's been a month since the trip, of course.", I say yes and the dude gets excited telling me he can have me on a plane this week to wherever there training facility is. And then all of a sudden he rephrases the question and asks if I can pass a 90 day hair follicle test. ... I said no and explained the situation and the dude got so heated, he said you should've told me before I bought this plane ticket and hung up! Lmaooooo looking back, after researching the company, I really dodged a bullet.I I felt bad at the time but looking back I have no regrets. Hope y'all got a kick outta that.

 

Honestly, even if you're clean, you should still probably tell them you're a coke head. Worst company in the industry, hands down. I've heard nothing but awful stuff.

 

What'd you study prior to trucking?

 

Yeah I just learned that today looking through the forums. I didn't know that at the time, but glad I didn't.
