    If you go into that contract with CRE you will lose your shirt. Do you honestly think you're going to get 3,000 per week, every week? Wrong. These contracts are set up in the company in mind not the driver.

    You are making the mistake of your life by entering into a lease with CRE or any company for that matter.

    You need tires? Got enough money for that? No? Oh you'll need an advance. You need repairs? No money? Get an advancel. Deeper and deeper you go.

    Get a copy of that lease contract from CRE and have an attorney read it over and explain it to you.

    Have you ever wondered why CRE at SLC has armed guards and metal detectors in their building?

    You've been warned about this lease deal.

    I hope others here back me up.

    You don't need backing up. There's VOLUMES here on it. This guy found the 1 post he needed to do what he was already gonna do, and that guy never even came back to say how it went.

    If they didn't paint a pretty picture with awesome numbers, no one would fall for it. That guy just had the best recall from the sales pitch of anyone on here.

    Theory is like reality, except completely different.

    i am now here at cr england training. it really isnt all that bad. it could definitely be better though. too many people in our class is the problem. if we had 50 less people we would be good. the instruction is good, even though they do lack a little organization. the hotel is nice, with only 2 to a room, (days inn with a pool). however, if you are a first time student going through their cdl training you will get the dump hotel cre owns. if you have experience or just out of trucker school you will get the nice hotels. there is a long wait for everything because there are so many students. hard to move around because of so many people. i have to get to class, so ill keep you updated.

    There will be at least 50 less after the training is compleated
    HIGH turn over is there key to sucess keep the new bees rolling through the door.and getting charged for training.
    one of the reasons they stay in busness is low balling fright at the drivers expence .
    Your allready there hang tough pay atention with LUCK you'll get a good traainer trere are a few they also have sone realy bad ones.
    Take a look at your class 95% will not make it one year are you in the top 5% ?
    This happens every week at all there schools .
    :biggrin_25525: KEEP US POSTED

    i believe that i am in the 5%. i am a trooper, ill stick in there. thanks for the encouragement. so, this is my 4th day. the first 4 days is challenging due to too many people and a lot of information to take in. you can buy lunch from thier cafateria, but a burger is 3.00 and not all that good. i drove here from flint michigan (4 hours) so i go to the pilot close and use dollar menus at mcdonalds, and eat dinner at a cheap resturant, never spending over 10.00. today is the first day of driving. went real well. 5 people to a truck. we only had 3 because 2 people didnt show up. instructor was real nice/cool. now we go back into a class room after lunch. so, training training training is the key here. you can not say you werent trained or didnt know, when you are done with the orientation here. you can always ask questions, but wait til the instructors are done and say you can. they dont like to be interupted and usually what ever your question is will be answered int he training if you are patient. i think the key to orientation at ANY company is be real patient. dont be in a hurry for ANYTHING. oh yeah, and PAY ATTENTION!!!! that is it for now, back to class. ill keep you all informed.

    yesterday was a good day, driving and xome classroom. they actually have a class that sets you straight on rumors. the instructor answers all your questiond s (rumors that you heard) truthfully and honestly. so, if there is ANYTHING on your mind, ask right then. if you wanna quit at that point, then do so. if not, just keep on going. that simple. today we drove again and did some backing. was a good day again. now for the bad part. they jsut recently changed their policy. they have two phases, the first phase WAS 21 days but is NOW 30 days. phase 2 WAS 30 days but is NOW 60 days MANDATORY. YOU WILL BE WITH EITHER A TRAINER AND/OR A LEASE OWNER OPERATOR FOR 90 DAYS MANDATORY!!!!!!!!!
    also, the fisrt 30 days there will be 3 people int eh truck. 1 trainer and 2 trainees. when the trainer is sleeping, the trainees are awake, driving observing and so on . when 1 trainee is sleeping the trainer is up training. the trainer DOES NOT DRIVE!!!!!!!. this is an update for now. ill be back soon with more
