    I want to run as a team with my wife and I am signed with CRE..She failed the Road test and we are flat broke is there anything I can do with a Class A CDL no formal experience so that I do not have to be on the road for the next 3 months without my woman?

    CRE didn't pass her or did she not pass the road test portion of the CDL exam?

    WCP hit on something you might try.

    Wouldnt they be seperated for a while anyways? They would each have to go with a mentor or whatever CRE calls them? So a little longer wouldnt be such a stretch would it?

    Dude, get working now and those 3 months will fly by. You need $$$ coming in right now. Besides, after 3 months without her, she will "reward " you, I'm sure when she sees you ! You know I'm right !

    Man you need to stop and think about priorities here. I know you don't want to be without your lady for three months. But look at it realistically. What is three months, compared to a lifetime? Look back on your last three months and see how quickly they flew by.

    I don't know what your long term goal is here, but if it is still to team, you might want to go ahead with that plan. Just have to put a part of it on hold for a while, until she can get her license.

    You need to get earning some bucks, now.

    That being said, I'm not at all sure that CRE is your best bet in doing that anyhow. Read up about them on this forum. You may find your wife has handed you a blessing in disguise.

    CR England? Ouch! Don't let your guard down there! What options did they give you? Wait, let me guess, repo trucks or lease right?

    i'm surprised no one had or has the 'kahonies" to say it so i will......."it's time to get a NEW wife".......there, done did MY part........



    ok, seriously, get going yourself, she will have to just re-schedule a road test, then meet up with you. the road test should not cost THAT much money for crying out loud.
