New guy from good ole texas

I think he is starting off on the wrong foot.

 

If CR England is the only company that will take you, then just do it and finish the contract so you can move on. Most of us have different circumstances, so we just do what we have to do.
Contact Western Dairy Transport also. This company has their own cdl school and provides lodging and meals during school. I think the school is in Abernathy, Texas. www.wdtmilk.com

Edit : just checked the website and they have two schools in Texas; Abernathy and Bryan.

 

Here's a map of Western Dairy Transport terminals & schools.

 

Or a medical term.

 

I think you're right. Cool handle.

Mr @Stankfoot, with the cool road name:

To be honest, I think you're making a mistake going to England, but you have your reasons. But I wonder...can an IMPATIENT person manage getting shat on at England? Yes, I do understand your reasoning, but I am more concerned about your being IMPATIENT than your being at England. A strong solid driver will do well at any company he goes to. Even England.
So you've been reading the forum and notice a bunch of bickering etc. Good! Have you noticed that quite a few drivers complain about the stress, and getting flipped off a thousand times a day how much they hate the job and whatnot? Well, that's actually a bad sign. Anyone that's getting constantly flipped off is constantly doing something to make people constantly flip him off. Stress? Traffic? Rewardyourself at the end of the day, get proper rest, wake up and give it another go. People that get stressed out are stressed out because they're burning their candle at both ends. Didn't get the needed sleep, overslept, didn't preplan, started late, had to rush, drove late, get to the Loves late, circled the lot for an hour until a parking spot became available, stay up late, went to sleep late and wake up late again. And they cant figure out why they hate life...

Anyway, while you have the chance, work on your patience. Being calm and patient is a sign of strength. But if you really find that you hate England, DO NOT QUIT UNTIL THEY ISSUE YOU YOUR OWN TRUCK. If you dont complete training, You will be in a trainer's truck at your next gig too. Remember, we aren't here to win a popularity contest. If you dont personally like your trainer, that's irrelevant if your trainer is actually doing his job.

When you get your truck, put your handle on the driver's side door underneath the window. I will look for you.

Luck in battle.

 

Just get your foot in the door.

 

Where at in texas you at @Stankfoot if you near a big city like houston you can find local employment and ditch cr england. Labbatt food, mclane and grocery supply always hirirng.

 

Training companies who will probably take you.... Werner, CRST, Celadon, Schneider, Stevens...
Ones I would suggest .... Prime, Millis, Magnum.

 

He's just young and eager to get something started. I was very much that way. I still am but after fermenting at a state job for 10 years learned a few extra months of waiting/research is a small price for the dividends it pays out. He could be rushed financially too. I didn't learn to budget money until I was 30. Must have came along with the patience I learned.
