Diary of a new C.R. England Driver

First of all Company Sponsered training should only be a LAST resort.

now if thats you:


Millis Transfer
Swift
Prime
Stevens Transport


they all train thats the order you should look at them (millis prob wont hire outta TX but its Definatly worth a call)

FFE trains too in Ft. Worth.

 

Central is who I am going with. My buddy just graduated from there and is now on the road with his trainer and he loves it. They pay $450 per week while with trainer, and it is not a draw.

 

Just curious about the order. Why do you recommend Swift over Prime?

 

because prime puts you with a trainer for 6 months which is rediculous

Agree 100%

 

Just curious where you heard that? The drivers I have talked to say different.
Of the 5 I talked too 8 weeks was the longest and 6 seems the norm.

 

Try Stevens Transport out of the Dallas area. I know they have one.

 

CRE isnt as bad as the people on here say they are. Most the people who say they took money or something are the guys who spend a week at home and the truck doesnt move....i.e. they are behind on payments. The DAC issues are hard to believe, especially the ones saying they put a fatal crash on their DAC report.......The only problems I have had were trainer issues, nothing else.


BTW I went to the school in TX, its actually in cedar hill and I had a good time.
