    How many hours is the school?
    Looks ok though.
    Ask how many hours the school is then call any company you like and ask if they will hire from that school.
    I do like that they give the cdl road test at the school so you don't have to go to the DMV. That's a good sign the school is a good one.

    Go for it then. 160 hrs. is good. Start putting in applications for trucking jobs now if you plan to start very soon.

    Reading poor reviews one after another of CR England but if you scroll through to November 26 there is a unusual number of suspicious 5 star posts. Good Luck

    I saw the same Bs. I’m i don’t know how bad the company really is but they told me today i will get a restriction in my license, and that’s an absolutely no go. I will pay for me own school so I can decide where to go

    Hey man, just because everyone has bad experiences about one company, it does not mean yours will be. Don't read too much into reviews because this industry is full of complaining people. If you just focus on learning and getting better, your experience can be a positive one. If you go into CR England with these thoughts about the reviews, then your experiences will be bad because you're looking for things to happen. If them and Swift are willing to take you, I'd do it. It's only a year. Even if you pay for your school, there's a chance you will end up with either company because they recruit out of driving schools too, or you will work for a similar company. I don't see what difference it makes whether someone pays for their school or goes company sponsored. You have to learn somewhere. One year will come and go.

    You are absolutely right I have to start somewhere!! But I don’t want a auto transmission restriction in my license, that’s an absolutely no go for me. I know the industry will change to automatics. I spoke with them and told them I would apply as a new cdl holder without a contract. I want to feel free
