New Driver going to CRE

WHY with ALL the negative posts about CRE do drivers still go there? If you think that CRE will treat you better than any other prospective employer you are wrong.

In 6 months you'll be a share cropper, in 7 months a trainer and next Christmas, you'll be broke and homeless living in a cardboard box.

 

Yes I am a phase 1 trainer, only get one student at a time. Tried two before but that is just double the headache.

 

One down, millions more to save.

Glad you were able to understand our comments to you.

 

Hope you had a merry Christmas , and hope you have a happy new year! Here's to new beginnings !

 

Kind of hard to believe CRE would risk having a truck pulled over for inspection with 3 trainees in it.

 

Training is difficult especially with CRE since you still move team freight. I usually keep my weekly miles to 4,200 a week but that's still a gamble. After a week of not sleeping your body/mind gets to the point where you have to sleep even if the student is driving. Some trainers fall asleep the first night they have the student.

I have an application in right now with another company, hope to get the green light soon.

 

I guess you are expected/ required to allow the trainee to drive a certain amount every day, and you try to limit most of that to open road, not heavy city traffic? Is there a limit per day/ per week to avoid violating the minimum wage law?

 

... Trucking, minimum wage law? ...

 

I have seen them with 3 trainees as well. I didnt even know that was legal.
