HURRY!!! Come kick me while I'm down!!

OK, CR England sucks. Totally and completely.

My net settlement was -$1079.

That is the total after 3 weeks.

Their excuse...."Freight's slow, blah blah blah"...

So... I have one month (5-6 weeks otr solo experience).

Who do I apply with? Suggestions?

I was told by my trucker buddy, that they would except me with my DWI's, but not to bother, because that sort of thing happens a lot with them.

I'd say that your best bet would be with Swift; I'm sure that you will have to go through their mentoring program, and if the CDL training program that you attended was less than 160hrs., you may very well have to attend their training school before they will let you drive.

If they won't take you, try CRST, but I would only use them as an absolute, desperate, last resort.

Good Luck!!

Hey man, i don't think anyone wants to kick ya while you're down. Just learn from mistakes and move on in a positive way. we all make mistakes, it's learning from them that's important in life. i'm sure MOST people here are rooting for you, especially now that you've come back and shared what happened. BOL to you! :wink:

The reason that I suggested Swift or CRST is because his options are very limited. I'm no fan of either of these companies. Read his other threads and you'll understand the backstory a little better.
