my time at cr england

I have been running with them now for 3 years.
For me its great, drive dedicated, home every 4 1/2 days and earn good.
I realise its not that great for everyone, but it works great 4 me.

 

I'm going to start my orientation with CR England, May 11, 2009. Anyone have any ideas or advice. How much money I'm expenting after my training a week and if is true above what they say.

 

Hey Carrot Top. I have read a nasty rumor that England now requires trainers to take 2 students with them. Is that true? I am about to go back there after taking some time off and have to go throught the whole training again. If there is 2 students and one trainer that seems like it would be a big safety issue. You have one guy constantly in the second seat and technically should be logging it on line 4 thus not getting the proper rest break prior to driving a full 11. I hope it is just a nasty rumor because I dont want any part of 3 people in a truck.

 

From my personal experience, it depends on the trainer. But this may have changed where a student must spend more time out on the road.

 

In one of the many England posts I have read one person said it was now mandatory for 2 students to be on a truck. Have you not heard the same thing?

 

LOL I feel sorry for those whom have to endure another student. The fellow that was in the truck I was trained on was difficult, fortunately he was on that truck for maybe 4 days.

CR has hit a new low, sounds like trainers are hard to come by.

 

Does CR England have you do a physical agility test? If so, what does it consist of ?

 

No to the agility.

At least there wasnt any when I went there. It was stand in line for some 15 minutes, enter room with a nurse, recieve some paperwork for physical / pee test. Hand in said paperwork, enter bathroom fill the cup, return cup, told to wait in hall on other side of hall.

Enter second room, do a range of motion test (head back, touch nose with arms extended). Squat, stand, bend forward, bend side to side. Sit in chair, do a eye test, blood pressure test said that my 145/79 was too high and that he could only give me a one year physical card.

Sent out the door, told they will have results in a week.
