    I am thinking about going to CRE's school (non-experienced). I will be paying for the school up front $1995 vs $2995. Will I have to sign a minimum time to work contract with them if I pay up front? Because if I have to leave or want to leave at some point after I get my CDL, I want to be able to leave without breaking contract. Thats one reason I am paying up front and the other is just to save $1000. You just never know what will happen. I might get activated in the reserves, family sickness, or maybe I just won't want to drive for them, who knows. Just curious if there is a commitment even if I pay for the trainging on my dollar. Thanks.

    NO, I did the same thing but it only cost me $999. It was a Xmas special they were running at the time. I stayed on all the way through the second phase of there driving program. They were bent on trying to get me to lease. I told them flat out, Give me a company truck or I'm walking ! I did not walk far, I actually stopped at central refrigerated down the street from cre in salt lake, on my way to the airport. I had to go out with a trainer for a week and I was on my own.

    Just be aware of what your signing during the orientation. I clearly made it a point to have explained to me what I was signing and why. Sometimes they seem to forget about a person that can actually pay for something.
