Thinking about CR England

I'm new. But I would be cautious about cr England. I'm in arkansas. I'm going to go to ASU Newport I would definitely be sure about what you want. The things I have seen on the net were not good things. I don't gamble so as far as school goes I would go with pdti schools Then again they may be that and still have a bad rep. I'm doing my homework before I get to deep. I hope you find what you are looking for. I just felt like I should answer because I read a bad review.

Donnie, like Natenew stated there are alot of negative reviews on CR England. But keep in mind that more people post negative then good so I'll let you be the judge rather then say steer clear. What company's have you looked at?

 

Donnie, just keep your head up and go into this with a open mind. As for feeling like a failure, sometimes life is a b*itch and the only way to get through it is to keep chuggin along the narrow road. Sooner or later things will look up for ya.

 

I have also been doing some research on company sponsored training for the past couple of months and have found several companies offering it. CR England, Swift, USA Truck and P.A.M. (they both use Driver Solutions for their recruiting), CRST (team only), Prime, Stevens, and Central Refrigerated. Most of these companies have training in either California or the Midwest (Texas, Utah, or Missouri) and will pay for your transportation there. I would suggest you take a look at Prime if you don't mind being gone for 3-4 weeks at a time with 3-4 days of hometime. Prime seems to have some good training (4 days in orientation in Missouri and then you hit the road with a CDL instructor one-on-one for 3 weeks). Check out their website. They also seem to be the company that can begin putting at least some money in your pockets more quickly because if you are like me, it would be hard to wait 4, 5, or 6 weeks for that first paycheck as some companies are saying would be the case. But it all depends on what you are looking for and what sacrifices you are willing to make. I too have to make a decision soon and just want that decision to be a good one since I will have to spend at least the next year with one of these companies.

 

Do what you got to do. But I would attempt to pay for it even if it means getting a small loan from the bank or a cash advance place. You must remember that some companies will charge you 5k even tho the school in all fees is on average 2k. I'm where u are brother. I'm afraid times are only going to get worse. Do what is in your heart but let your mind guide you.

central is a much better option, cre will cram a lease so far down your throat you will be ######## a freightliner by august!

Donnie,

There are many employer opportunities in California, but not all good (CR England). I have an option you may enjoy but I am unsure if I am allowed to post links???
