You’re right about Mike talking a lot 😂. That dude will go on & on all day. I just finished week 1, now I’m heading into week 2. Everything has been smooth so far. I’m ready to start learning how to drive the truck. It’s a lot of information to retain though, but I’m confident I will walk out with my CDL by day 17. I met people who’s been stuck here for a month or longer
I leave to Colton CA on April 11th to start the class. They're paying my hotel for 17 days, I'm staying with them for a year and I'm bouncing. Hopefully it's not too bad working for them
For anyone going to CR England or any other school I suggest you get your permit before you go to school there's plenty of apps for your state... that way the first couple days you can just chill and focus on their test while everyone else is freaking out about trying to pass the permit test in like 3 days... that's what I did.... trust me it's better and you can go at your own pace... because if you fail there they'll send you home and you'll have to start over
What If I already have my class A with all the endorsements but I need driving experience what would you recommend or what company would you suggest I go to ?
@@Ineedmoney4200 if you leave for studying for the test I would say DMV Genie. That's the one I used. It was free back in 2018 but I think they are charging for it now but I would still say it would be worth it. And if it's a monthly charge just deleted once you pass the test. I live in California so I put that state in the app and I want to say 90% of all the quiz questions that they have on there was on the test. I don't know if it's that accurate for other states but if you live in California it was pretty accurate with all the questions that they ask me on the DMV test
Dude thank you, I'm an aspiring truck driver and thought this would be a good start. I appreciate your testimony. I'm now nervous and excited to learn from cr england! I'm in!
You can go to GDA in Conyers Ga...it's like $3800...get your cdl in 3 weeks...then find a company to go get you road training...most companies want 6mths to a 1 yr experience...
Ive heard good and bad things about them. But thats pretty normal with any school. They all make us promises and than fall through. I used Mister P. Got my cdl. Got my 6 months and than left and now im a real trucker
They are doing better with rooms now they got us in decent hotels in Utah and they eat the loan after like 9 months im currently enrolled at the utah school they also run multiple shuttles a day and were off on Sundays
I’m sure glad I didn’t go with CR England 9 years ago when I got my CDL , I applied for two companies CR England called first and I wasn’t sure I was ready to make that decision, then Prime Inc called and their offer was way above what I expected, first school cost nothing when I committed to a year second the pay after training was 37.5 ( 9 years ago) . Yes I had to sign a contract for training in case I didn’t stay a year but it was a zero interest loan and was half this and as long as I was working for them I paid nothing. After working for Prime for a wile and talking to CR England drivers I realized quickly how little CR England paid new drivers after training . To charge a high interest loan for training tells me they don’t really care if you stay or not because they will make $$ off you rather you stay or not . There’s no way I’d pay nearly $10k for a CDL . I don’t work for Prime Inc anymore either because I now work local and make more money .
Jesus. People are so daft. CREngland is a grocery OTR company and school company. Teams are used everywhere for OTR grocery loads. Use your brain. As a team driver at CRE post training. I made 1200-1300 a week. Post year 1. I made 1700-1900 a week. A whole lot of people complain. I wanna be solo. Why am I not being paid as much? Uh.... because Duh?
My experience in 2019 was horrible. Got the flu on the greyhound ride. Was a a walking zombie for a month in SLC. Then when I went out with a trainer, in was taught nothing. Ended up having to teach myself everything
The truth! A school is a mega carrier that makes money off your student loan. However, you get your CDL. You get your experience. You move forward with your career. Again I stress!!! You get what you needed aka your CDL. So get it done and move the f*** on. I have no honest idea why there is all this drama. I went to CRE school. Got 2 yrs. Did my Tanker and Hazmat endorsements. Now I drive Tankers and make big bucks. So. Thank you CREngland for being my stepping stone into this.
That's what I was thinking too, I don't have 6k to pay upfront right now so I was thinking of going through them, be there for a year and bounce and work for my friend.
I got my CLP, with just Tankers, still waiting on making the Call for CR. Since I still need to do the driving test PRI trip etc. Do I get my CDL there with CR or do they take us to the DMV and do the test etc
Truck driving schools in your area or state. There are states that pay's for your schooling; if you got low income. I took a 3 week program back in 2005. There is a 5 wk or a 10 wk. My school was in Ohio at TDDS truck driving training close to Youngstown. Smaller classroom started out with 20 then down to 10 or so in the end only 5 us graduated.
❤️ How good is CR England I have My Commercial Learners Permit right now is this company take care of their employees I need to know before I go to Utah. ❤️
I'm in Utah at C.R. England I decided to go so far I like this company very happy it's just anything gotta put the effort in to make it work the School is great.
Dude , I feel in trouble , I am in a school but I feel that I am not learning much . I took the test at the DMV and passed the pre-trip, air brakes, because I was studying a lot but I didn't pass the maneuvers... I don't know what to do, in this school they only want my money, they told me to take another package for the school

Some companies will hire you with that 1 year contract, some wont. Honestly you can make more than the cost of your school in 1 year with another company.
You are completely wrong! U will hardly make 300 a week bring home with CR England I went thru them and it was the worst experience I ever had... Got my CDL and left!

Yes there are but a lot of the women quit because usually you have to train with a guy or wait until another woman is available to train you which takes a long time. Plus if you do go with a guy trainer, maybe he smokes cigarettes and a lot of women don't handle it that well.

How long do you have to work for CR England to get your tuition cleared and forgiven allowing you to leave CR England without having to owe them money for getting your CDL?
1 year, 9 months if your a veteran. I worked for them for 3 months, bringing home 400-500 a week. That was before the 200 a week for insurance hit. I left for a company paying .43 a mile and broght home average 800 a week after that. Should have went to a better company but am happy on my plan. Weeks away from getting my own truck.
