HIRE AN INSTRUCTOR THAT HAS EXPERIENCE AS A FREIGHT AGENT OR SELLING FREIGHT! STOP MAKING FALSE REPRESENTATIONS to the students! Tell the students the truth! Tell them the reality that only 1 out of 50 students succeed. The only one that will 'WIN' from the whole thing is England. England gets 50 students that advertise for England and put the name out there -- only to find out 6 months later that England has terminated the contract! ALSO, AT THE SAME TIME, England is earning $2,500 for the one-week of training as an Agent, which to me was COMPLETELY WORTHLESS ! ! ! I hope that other people thinking of going through the training will READ THIS BEFORE THROWING AWAY $2,500 on training that is NOT WORTH THE TIME OR MONEY!
2If you need your CDL and have no way to pay for it, CR England is a decent alternative. Just realize you will be married to them for one year, and the first 6 months worth of pay is starvation wages, the next 6 months are not much better. You will start out on a trainer's truck, and in the four years I worked there AS a trainer, I noticed a definite degeneration in the quality of the trainers. This is because at a mere 6 months with the company, ANYONE can become a trainer. So, for instance, if you come aboard in the spring, and decide to become a trainer at 6 months, your very first winter driving experience is training new drivers in winter conditions, up and over mountains, that you yourself have zero experience doing. This, in my judgement, is lunacy. But it's the only way to make any money right out of the gate.
This is a mega carrier. Huge. As such, you can get lost in the shuffle very easily. The driver managers are decent, but anyone above them, good luck. They have built a system where, the system itself, is very effective at micro managing EVERY. SINGLE. ASPECT. of your job. The freedom of trucking in not having a boss sitting on your shoulders micro managing you all day. Well, not at CR England. You go a couple miles over the governed speed limit of 62, they WILL be calling you, and are not very nice to deal with. They say it's for safety. Don't let them fool you.
Going 62 on a highway that has an 80 mph speed limit is unsafe. It's all about the money in fuel. They will call you if you idle your truck too long, (which is a trick in itself, considering the truck automatically shuts itself off after a couple of minutes), so if you're parked, want to use electricity to watch some tv or play a video game...good luck with that. After 5 minutes your auxiliary plug ins shut down so that you don't drain the battery.
You WILL run teams. Very few get to be solo, and not for very long. They will starve you into it.
Give us some respect. Give us APU's for our trucks so we can sleep at night.
