Jerry in my opinion Employment in trucking industries is not that easy to get. You should undergo training from well experienced faculties and trusted organizations. Some Schools are there to guide you and provide training in tanker truck and get you a high paying job. Mainly students are taught about the safety measures, traffic rules, proper maintenance of the truck and the proper way of driving the truck. So don’t hesitate to contact us for training as tanker truck and to obtain a commercial driver’s license.

I was just there-will give you an unbiased assessment of what it was like-I got kicked out for having 20-50 vision in one eye-the chart they recommended to test your eyes was not very accurate. Was only there for not even a day as a result of that-but can tell you my impression of it the short time I was there and let you be the judge. You get there to Gary IN-the place is a slum-at the bus station-they load you on a shuttle bus-they want you at the school as soon as you arrive-the bus will take you to the school and you will immediately be asked to start your physical-before your arrival at the room-be prepared for that-did not get to my room till close to midnight-next morning have to be up to catch shuttle back to school-it is a good half hour from motel to school-not much around motel in terms of places to eat-most are more than a mile away. You will not be given an opportunity to eat anything before you go-be prepared for that-have some snacks handy. School begins at 630am sharp-whatever you do dont miss the shuttle in the morning and be late-it left at 5 am. I can only tell you about the first morning-make sure you have all the required documents with you-make sure you are ready for the written exams before you arrive as you will likely be too wiped out to study for it there. A lot of paperwork involved. Make sure your vision is up to par as well as blood pressure or you will immediately be sent home. The inprocessing instructor was on the ball. I did get my vision corrected that very day at a mall 10 miles away-but decided not to return. I am telling to you like it is-this is what I genuinely experienced a mere 2 days ago. I spent the night at a motel and got a bus ticket to another school which is likely going to accept me with my corrected vision. That was done at my own expense as well as getting the eye exam and glasses. That brings me to my next point-make sure you have enough funds because they will not cover your food expenses and like what happened to me unexpected things could come up. I hope I dont sound like I am bashing it-I just want to share with you what my impression was of it. I wouldnt go back there.

God I hope my experience with them is better. They are sending me to Cedar hill TX. I have talked to quite a few companies and unfortunately coming off ssdi after 2 years for psychological reasons everyone else seems to be afraid to take me. On top of that i have my CDL but haven't driven in 16 years. SO Simply put I am the mutt nobody wants to take! They are the ONLY takers... hope I dont regret going with them...

If that is your only option-go for it-you can always move on after the initial 9 months if you dont like it there. I would have toughed it out with them if I did not fail the vision part of the test-I was studied up and fully prepared for all the written exams etc. I only posted my experience to warn others as to what they might be up against for the first couple of days. It was not to bash the company or blame anyone else for what happened. What I described was an absolutely accurate description of what happened and not at all a fabrication. I do believe after this experience that not all companies are the same-some do treat and value their employees better than others do. But it is good to talk to the actual drivers-dont base your decision solely on what I say.

I jumped out of bed when I remembered to ask you this question:

What school/company did you choose to go with after this CR England mess?

I am going with my original first choice which is Prime Inc. out of Springfield MO. That company is all about the driver-this is coming from people who actually drive for the company-the facilities which I have already toured are top notch. I will be beginning next week. Am positive that this will be a much better experience for me. I fully realize the difficulties of being a driver and that school will not be easy-would have toughed it out and fulfilled my committment to CR England if I passed the vision test. But I view that failure as a blessing in disguise and move on to a company that I know without a doubt is all about their drivers.

Well Being they are my only option at this point I took their offer. I need the refresher and trainer really bad. I din't have much luck 16 years ago mainly I was way too immature at the time. Now looking back on it, I know what some of my issues were and intend to utilize my trainer. If they suck that bad oh well its 9 months. If not I'll stay. But either way when I get the chance I will come back here and let all know how the experience was. Hoping for a good one.

Go for it-be prepared to tough it out in the beginning especially-they make it that way to test you in the beginning-I knew that, but many there didnt-lots of moaning and groaning-dont let that deter you-roll with it. I didnt continue only because I did not pass the vision test. My biggest worry that caused me not to go back after getting vision corrected was the low starting pay and the pressure to lease. Be wary of that-but again you only have a nine month commitment. My experience with Prime very positive-aced 3 out of the five exams I took and got a 95 and 96 on the others. My blood pressure a tad high and have to retake it in the morning-even if I fail-I will get it corrected and go back to Prime. A lot of the credit goes to the studying on this site.

My memory is a bit foggy because I was there over a year ago but I immediately left the company after getting my CDL and so did a lot of others in my class. Some even went as far as to immediately have a cab waiting for them to take them to the bus station on their way home.

Are you there now or have you already gone threw the process of getting your CDL form them?

I have cdl already but need a refresher course. What about it made everyone jump ship?
