    Title states it all! I went to CR England in Cedar Hill, Texas on a Monday, that following saturday i was on my way home over an hour away. I took my tests and passed the first two. When i went back to take my other three tests i passed one and failed the second one after going back to retest i failed again and when i reliazed i answered question like the trainer stated he was wrong on the majority of the answers. When i called him out on it he just belittled me in front of over 150 people. So i told him im done. And they have never called me to try and get me to pay for the training because i was only taking tests and hadnt started the range yet.

    WARNING: Do not go to CR England for a job. You are treated as a number along with 150 other people and placed in crappy hotels in Waxahachie, Texas. You are trained incorrectly and told the wrong stuff.

    Currently attending Stevens Transport Driving Academy and will become an Alliance Lease Operator with a friend to start our own company.

    Going from a crappy company to a lease with no experience at all. I fear you may have worse luck than you did at CRE

    I think the point was from a business standpoint, not a driving one. Be careful.

    But you still fail to understand the fact that people who have experience in something should use the knowledge they have

    I.E. - Bachelors Degree in Business Management
    Current Owner of Gun Barrel Restorations

    I have more then enough experience my friend

    You have to always be careful no matter what you do. Having a company never hit the red though helps lmao

    Did you not read the post. They instructor there was supposedly a 1million mile safe driver, but when you look at his recorded it only records 100k he didn't even teach anything just sat you all at a table and let you read a 5 page book and try to answer 100 question with no learning. He wasn't a trainer just an over-paid babysitter that hated his job which is way he gave us wrong answers
