There's no need for that. I was telling him what they wanted from me, as I actually DID have to provide this sort of info.
*off topic* And just because you had a bad experience with them, does not mean that everyone else does. Look around this forum a bit and you will see that. -
thanks!!

Be careful of the recruiters at Crete, they do not have all their facts straight on what schools you can attend. This has been my experience over the past few weeks.
I am attending a PTDI certified course, but the local hiring rep for Crete told me that he is also trying to get the local community college okayed from Crete corporate, which would have been a better school for me to attend. I also learned that I need a 95% grade from school.
I'm still looking for something that fits me better than Crete. Most other options will come from more localized outfits, smaller carriers, etc. Keep doing your homework and you will find what you are looking for, but Crete seems to be a good bet, providing their freight picks up soon. -
You are worrying yourself to death,pick a school ,a cummunity is better ussually,if you have a program near you. It isn't rocket science to learn to drive a truck,just try your best and don't read into it that hard on yourself,very few folks have skid pads etc,you aren't going to be driving a super hot police car persuing a con or something. Do your best and you will be fine. pick a job and go for it. I would recommend a dry van job at first,when you master that,tankers,reefers,flatbeds,etc. then your brain won't be overloaded and you will make fewer mistakes. I have enjoyed doing it all,except tankers and doubles,triples,while I am not a union man,being an older generation driver,I have always viewed this as taking another mans job,that he may need to support his family,although there seems to be a shortage of good drivers out here today. bestof luck to you.have a Great New Year.
