Profile For JUDITH A.

Good Morning! I've been approved for a Refresher Program with CR England beginning August 15, 2014 and the school is located in Cedar Hill, TX .

I'm a bit nervous because I've been reading alot of negative information, watching YouTube videos and been on various Forum sites that have mainly negative information about CR England.

My story is that I have about 7 years OTR experience running 48/53 ft dry van and reefers in all 48 states. I also drove local for a little while. With all that being said I went to an accredited truck driving school and obtained my CDL with TX Endorsement. I have continued to keep my CDL even though I came off the road in April of 2000.

CR England says they have a 10 Refresher course that's offered in Cedar Hill, Tx, however, I've read mixed comments regarding it being a refresher. I was also told I could be out with a trainer for up to 50 days but that if the trainer felt I was doing well that I'd be in a truck within two weeks. I also explained to the recruiter that I wanted to run solo and that I was looking for either a dedicated or regional run. The recruiter commented to me that there's an Intermodal operation in KC area (I live very close to KC, MO) and that I'd need six months OTR in order to put in for that position and the position usually has about 5 openings at any given time. I AM NOT interested in Leasing with them and the recruiter never eluded to anything about leasing. However, she mentioned the Intermodal position and also mentioned that the dedicated and regional positions were ones I'd have to bid on.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,
