Phase 1 training with CR England

8-10 hours a day? you got a nice trainer, mine wanted me to do 11 every day, sometimes I told him to fly a kite because that is exhausting for someone new. Looking back he's not real intelligent leaving his life in the hands of someone brand new and pushing them to go further and further but I digress. Sorry.

 

Awe, you poor babies. Who would have thought that trucking involved driving?

 

Yeah trucking isn't for you buddy.

 

yup I'm sure you were doing 11 hours a day from day one and only stopped to let the tires cool off. Direct descendant of super trucker and midnight rider no doubt.

 

Actually when I first started I was driving 12 hours a day and I didn't complain that I shouldn't be driving that much because I was new. I take your "super trucker" comment as a compliment so thank you very much!

 

Im new and i have driven alot for bragging points. My record is 960 miles.

Whats that DOT? Oh, of course it was within my legally allowed 11 hours

 

Pardon me if this should brash or at all harsh, it is certainly not the intention. You are failing to take into consideration the value of your training through time behind the wheel. As someone already pointed out, CDL training is quite expensive. I endured 3 months with zero income and an expense of $5500.

Time and time again, I see threads from people who jump in head first totally unprepared for what they are about to embark on or unrealistic expectations. This is darn hard work, the pay is commensurate with experience - which you won't get while earning what you think you are going to need to make to support a family of five. Sorry, it's the truth.
