    ok, and?

    What they will most likely do is have you go with a trainer for a while, or put you through thier own refresher training, or make you take refresher training at your home area location.

    Trust me do not, I repeat do not go with CR. Take it from someone who started with them in 2000. Every and I repeat, every horror story you hear about them is true. If you ask me they make more money on the training scam than they do moving freight. Betting even money once you get there they are going to put the pressure on you to lease. The lease is bad. Next step become a trainer to keep or try to catch up. Then out the door. At the rate they bring in students they should be the biggest trucking company in America.

    Really is a shame about CR England. I really would like to give these guys a try because they got a school right in my town. But with so many bad reviews its really hard to ignore it. This is the reason I posted the topic of switching companies right after training.

    He didn't say he hasn't driven a truck sense 09' just no OTR experience, why would. His state down grade his CDL, unless he just renewed his med card, and not reported it to the DMV
