Info on CREngland appreciated!!
 

If you haven't been reading my exploits about my time at Swift Driving Academy, I'll just say that Swift has bent me over and done you know what to me. I've been trained to have a CDL but no company will touch me now because of Swift. So, I'm being forced to do my training all over again at Mid-American Driving Academy in Louisa, KY, which will result in employment at CREngland, in another three weeks time, if my wife hasn't left me by then.

If anyone has some ancedotes about these two entities, I'd appreciate it because I'm about to sink another $2995 into this effort.

From what I've read here and on other trucking-related websites, C.R. England doesn't come very highly recommended. I would advise you to look into them (or any other company for that matter) further before you sign with them. BOL to you.

Swift to England? That's kinda like hopping from the frying pan into the fire.

I agree. From what I have heard and seen these two companies are not to good. I would suggest search the archives if you haven't done so already.

Have you tried other companies like Roehl or TMC or one of the better reputable big companies. Roehl will send you out with a trainer for 3 weeks. I believe TMC does something of that nature as well. I dont know your whole story so I hope it helps. Did you get in an accident or something?

Good Luck

Since you live in the eastern half of the nation give Millis a try. They may be willing to take you on if you attend their school. It will cost you $500 down and a 1 year work agreement.

Run, don't walk away from CRE!

They try and sucker ignorant people into their "lease-purchase" scam.

It's the modern day version of sharecropping; you assume all the risk and they get the all the reward.

That being said one of the the line drivers at my terminal got his training from them. He lucked out and got a good trainer. He speaks highly of the training.

long story short.....NO.......

RUN DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THEM. Put it to you this way I would not let my EX-Wife drive for them and she was Satan here on earth.
