My Expierence at CR England

You mentioned failing to scan a couple of trips ... is the monthly complete wiht all trips. Also you had mention taking some home time. Was that during one of the weeks?

 

OK ... so factoring in the missing trip, you're doing about 3150 week in miles and netting around $700 a week ... another question, why is the fixed cost variable from week to week?

 

Ok .. I think I screwed something up the first time. Recalculated and came up with an weekly average net of $608, inlcuding your missing trip aqnd hometime fund. Which is low. With a fixed base of $823, you should be netting around $715 a week. Now the Horizon start up accounts for about $25 of that.

For the rest you may want examine your fueling pattern ... With CRE, your margins are so tight you have to pay attention to your fuel .. you want to hit the end of the a pay period running as close to fumes as you dare. That's another reason you want to be on the rebate - you control when, where and how much you fuel. Not to mention, you should put another $45 to $60 in pocket depending on fuel milage.

 

Het gt4, I'm starting at C.R.E. on Monday. Kinda curious if you could tell me what all I should pack as far as clothes, etc. I pretty much know what to expect from school from reading all the forums, but I haven't really found a good "packing list" that would be more realistic than what they have on their web site. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!

 

I'm starting at C.R.E. Monday as well but in Richmond, IN. As far as packing, after talking to my recruiter and multiple truck drivers (I worked for a truck stop up until Monday), I plan on 8 or so changes of clothes, laundry soap, individual load packs, new toiletries (remember, it could be 3-4 months before you make it home and prices are OUTRAGEOUS on the road) and the school supplies they're requiring. Bringing the charger for my phone and iPad, and bought a new bedding set because it's a whole lot easier to carry around than an old one.

 

Do Cr England still force drivers to lease a truck? Im interested in them and want to drive solo

 

I just graduated C.R. England school and I havent even been asked if i wanna lease a truck.
