I don't want to sign a contract but I need some Experience.I have heard nothing but bad news about them but they have CHEAP TUITION rates $1,995 if you pay up front.I was planning on going with a friend and team drive we. We need to no if you can get your CDL and not have to sign are lifes
    away to get some experience. The things I hear about the company have made me think if I should go. Also would you start off making more$$ if we pay up and team drive. We don't haveany Experience so we want to use them instead of them using US!!!! Any information would be very helpful. Thank you and GOD bless all of you!!!

    STOP NOW. Before you leap into any school you've got to know that you might be in a position that you have no income for awhile. I believe most will agree that having 6 months pay stashed can take alot of worries away. You also don't know how the schooling or job is going to work out. I would hope you've already pulled your driving record from the state you live in. If you're going to a company ran school than sure you'll need to sign a contract. That can go both ways. Some have had no problem with that concept and others have been screwed over royally.

    I think you need to slow down and do some more research. Read alot of the postings on here from the drivers that have started like you suggest. Like I say some are ok and others are bitter and some have a right to be bitter.

    I believe you should look for all the negatives first so you can plan for them. If that company does what they advertise they do then you'll be on your way. But ask yourself this question. If they are as great as their web page wants you to believe then why do they need so many drivers?

    The real question is: If you have read so much bad about England, why would you even consider going to them when there are so many other possibilities?
    Are you a glutton for punishment?

    I would like to get the CDL And get out of construction. Winter is around the corner and it gets very slow.....I think&heard trucking as of right now would pay the bills better than construction would.I was use't to making a certain amount in construction but the economy is so ###### right now I would rather roll the dice on trucking than try to wait for the economic turn around in the only profession I no.I hear a lot of crying out there from truckers about the pay and no familytime but you are making money.I am a very hard worker...I have thought about trucking for a while and three other friends have switched and like it. Better to have $$ than work just three days a week and worry if you will have something for the next week or two. It is tough all over for everyone.I no that but I think I have what it takes to do the job...No offence taken to anyone out there please don't think that at all. I have respect for all .man or women

    Ok on two weeks. Reading CRE posts I remember teams can be company drivers and you would not get into a lease. Watch out for tricks because that price could be if you work for them and another price if you don't work. Just watch out and good luck.

    Thank-you Znine. As much as I've read on here still haven't heard from someone who paid to go to school there. We plan on company driving to get experience.
