Taking CDL training with CR England

I’m going to take my CDL training with CR England, going to be bussed to Salt Lake City the whole shabang.
I have no money I’ve taken my DOT physical and my CDL permit test is set for next week.
So I’m as green as they come.
I understand you have to crawl before you walk and learn with a company.
I’ve read a few reviews here and I’m on the fence about it now.
My main concern is the money, I have several obligations and need to have them payed, the recruiter told me in my first week after graduating school with a mentor I’ll make 708.00$ then when I go solo it will be 1,020.00.
Are these actual numbers or is the recruiter blowing smoke up my ### and telling me it’s raining?
Pardon my language.
Any and all insight will be greatly appreciated

 

Some companies pay hourly or salary starting the 1st day of cdl school.

Western Dairy Transport - $ hourly
Roehl Transport - $ salary ($616.00 weekly)
R.E. West - $ hourly

 

Someone that's been there will post.
You're smart to ask questions about pay.

 

Which state and nearest city/town are you located?

 

I've never driven for CR England, but amongst drivers they appear to have a pretty crappy reputation to work for. Swift has a terminal and school in West Valley. I wasn't paid during the schooling and getting my CDL, once I had my CDL and went out with a mentor I earned money (forget how much I was getting and it's probably different now anyway). Some of us have had good luck with Swift and some haven't. But, my observation and opinion is it'd be a better option than CRE.

 

I'd agree with that. No personal experience with cr England but swift was $800/wk once your with your mentor. That was last Fall.

 

Isn't CR England the company that installs a 3rd bunk above the driver/passenger seats in the training trucks? Schneider pays $80/day during training. You'd get your first check at the end of the 2nd week.

Go with Stevens Transport instead. I can't say this strongly enough.

 

Western Dairy Transport has cdl training in Texas and pays by the hour while in school. This is a milk tanker company.
Meals & lodging are also free, plus transportation to get from Austin to the school.
