It's been a while. Now I know why people say they will continue posting and we never hear from them. Life on the road is busy! I successfully completed phase 1 and will be testing to start phase 2 soon.
Against the advice to apply to CRE . . . .

So, I tested out OK on the Phase 2 upgrade. But CRE is history for me. My trainer was horrible. If fact, so was the Phase 1 trainer I was assigned to, but I just put up with them a little longer. I could not finish with the trainer I had for a number of reasons.
What I did learn is yes, they wanted me to lease a truck from them, and no, they don't pay much money for all the trouble. I am looking elsewhere.
I think there was a Help Wanted sign in the window when I got me a Big Mac the other day. -

Well. You've gotten your refresher course and some road time. I would expect more doors should open for you now. I would suggest trying for Swift again, but I'm not sure how successful you would be. I'm hearing of hiring freezes all over the country, including Northern California.
I'm hoping something shakes out for you and it will be the right fit. Until then, are you sure you want to walk away from CRE? I know the pay is crap and there's plenty of that to go with it, but it is pay...and experience. No telling how your next trainer would be, but could be a huge improvement over what you've already gotten. Just a thought. Good luck to you, whatever your final decision. -
Swift have to many drivers, or freight down for there to be a hiring freeze?

There are actually quite a few "company drivers" who make .90 cents a mile or more. DoD, Military movements and precious commodities pay really well even for the "company driver". These companies don't advertise, they don't have too!
