    Hey everybody im currently hangin out at home, just got done with my phase 2 training with cr england and should be heading back to salt lake city to go solo in a couple days. I have had a good experience with England so far. If anybody has any questions about the schooling, or the training portion I can help you out. Don't be afraid of what you have heard from other people, England isnt THAT bad :)

    With all due respect...........You aren't even solo yet.
    But I hope it continues to work out for you though.

    Congrats on the first positive story on CR that I have ever heard although, like the other post pointed out, you are still in the honeymoon phase and have not gone solo yet.
    Please do us a favor and update on this site once a week or so for the time you spend there. It will be interesting.

    Good luck, I work on the dedicated side of cre and I think it is okay, so if otr isn't working well apply for a dedicated position with them.

    How was your training there? You should wait until your solo and drove a year with them to see how things are

    Do you know how long you have to wait to apply for the dedicated routes? Cause the sign in the office at slc says 6 months but I know drivers with less experience that just got put on dedicated routes.

    I got on my dedicated route before I was finished with phase 2 training, they told me as long as I didn't get into any accidents or get a level 1 log violation I could get my route and I did. As soon as I upgraded to solo I came here without going otr at all aside from the training.

    CR England puts a lot of requirements up, but the reality is if they need people there, they will put you in it, if they don't they probably won't.
