well im going to take a beating when most read this but im goin to burns harbor indiana nov 5th to start my training for cr england i have read alot and done alot of homework and this is the fastest way to get my cdl and i need the exp. but i know it wont be that hard for me except leaving my wife and kids behind to try my hand at this, with the economy as crappy as it is this is the best option me and my wife came up with. i know the driving part will be a cake walk for me cause i grew up on a farm so i know how to drive anything from a 7 speed to a 13 speed. i have a class b right now and for those of you that are gonna tell me not to lease, well im going to and a friend of mine is gonna team up with me so we can make more money but any advice would be great i do have a plan b if this doesnt work out for me but im hoping it works out great for us all cause this is one of my dreams i enjoy driving big things and seeing the great views that are left in this world again any advice would be great

Well redneck, I got bn email today from CRE offering free tuition through a "partner" school with a 6 month commitment. Don't know if you were aware they were offering that. Good luck to you sir and enjoy the road!

How can leasing be the best thing for the family? Especially when you end up using your last dime on a payment, but it not being enough, and having to turn the truck in and walk away.

hey redneck, im at burns harbor right now. just passed the cdl permit test plus the indiana operator test. not gonna lie the first few days are tough. start doing the free cdl tests on the site and studying the manual. ill probly be leavin just before ya get here to head out on the road for phase 1

I totally agree. Leasing is no where near good for your family. If anything you'll end up getting a divorce, because you ll never be home cause you'll be negative and won't be able to support your wife and kids. But what do we know, we re all experienced drivers. We don't know any better.
Marky84 Thanks this. -

listen to the veterans they wouldnt steer ya wrong! -
+1 For the Don't Lease crowd..hell why goto CR England all together? Theres gotta be somewhere else that will take ya!

Don't do it, but if you do, good luckMarky84 Thanks this.
