    Well, I gave england a shot and after 2 days of scoring about 75% on the tests, they sent me packing, nice enough to send me via a greyhound. I don't have a cdl, but am looking, which company might be better suited for me to try.

    THe posts on here are really bad, and I suppose the best way for you could be Trans AM make sure you are 100% honest with them. Your other option is to go home, and attend a Truck Driving School, a normal one, I am thinking about going back for a month refresher course, I am in the same boat, need retraining, have CDL, will travel, but unfortunately they don't look at all the years you did work, just the ones you are short on. So far T/A screwed me on the amount of tme it took them to say "No" to me, I think because I was a Helwig driver, and T/A and Helwig parted company on the merger. I got a real nice recruiter and then all of a sudden she was fired and I was turned down by the Supervisor of Recruiting. To be honest, most of their recruiters seem to have ATTITUDE, like they have to deal with you in the least possible way. Another is US EX but I am not sure if they train, or just do the refresher course, I have tried to get them on the phone, lately it seems that these companies are harder to get hold of then they used to be. I find no common courtesy from anyone I talk to as a recruiter, amazingly Eng was the only recruiter I found to be human. I had worked for Helwig but due to my lapse in employment I couldn't get in. I will get back what I had, it is just going to take a little longer. As for you, consider getting a grant and go to a real school. If you don't you are only hurting yourself. At a real school you can at least get effort for trying, which is more than what ENG gave U. THe more I read on them the less I like the idea of working there.
    Good Luck on your search.

    It was a blessing in disguise that CRE let you go.

    cas hers the thing...if u don't care enough to pay attention in class to get Ur cdl then y would u pay attention in orientation ? or to the trainer? or to ur dm ? or the safety meetings ?
