    Advice ..if you can pay for the training out of your own pocket, do so. It will give you the flexibilty to move on if you need to with no strings tieing you to CRE.

    Second, if you are going down to Mira Loma, drive your own vehicle. Since you already have a CDL, if you have a vehicle with you they will put you in the flex training program and you can start earning around $60 a day after the first week.
     
    basstime54 Thanks this.

    I was told they are waving the $1500 refresher course fee for a limited time. This info was told to me when I asked what it would cost. I was also told their school attendance is slow right now. They are waving the fee to draw people in for the holiday rush. So, I guess I will not have to pay for it if I get in there soon enough. I was being pushed to start the 22nd (yes, at Mira Loma) but we already have family Thanksgiving plans. Maybe I will start the 1st Monday in December if they will go for that.

    Thanks for the tip. In that case I will definitely drive my own car if I go with them.

    Yeah? Prime. Let's see, I'm sure I checked them out too, but can't remember what the deal was, why I lost interest in them. Anyway, good luck to you!

    From what I heard, the free refresher course, and discounted full course was only good the week of Nov 22, but I could be wrong.
