well i think we helped save a soul..........

 

Well, after doing some research as advised on here I found some real horror stories. One where a guy was trained through CR England and then was fired, so CR came after him for $5000 or something like that, for the training........screw that!

 

Yes, you can get a job with a trucking company that will train you. CRST. But I suggest you research about it before you think of joining. Because it means that you will have to sign a contract with them for a period of time. and if you want to quit or you lose the job before that, you have to pay them upto 11K. joining a school would be a better option if you have the funds for it.

 

well atleast this poster is doing his research first before grabbin the keys and driving off under the sunset. i highly agree with tami that it would be better to go through a school as there more regulated by the dmv. run like hell from england. have you tried looking for local jobs driving construction companies? i would just save my money and goto a school instead of going though company training. and you do know that these training companies keep the seats cold because they also get a kick back from the goverment for each student they train as well as your tution didn't you??

 

You might want to try Roehl. If they are still training/hiring. I got my feet wet with them. Not a bad outfit. They are in Wisconsin.
