CR England's Driving School Info?
Topic 18071 | Page 1
Tony click this link for information on: CR England .
We highly recommend committing to you first company for a full year. It will take you about that length of time before you truly understand all there is to know about this job. CR England will definitely require you to sign a contract so make sure you fully understand your obligations before committing to them.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
And be sure to READ the contracts. I have noticed the contract I signed is totally different from some of the people who came after me at my company. So just don't go on the word of another.
Before committing to a company be sure to find out about cpm , average miles, home time, and anything else that may be important to you.
Good luck

Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

And on a side note if I sign the contract with them get my CdL and a month or two later I want to switch companies
Just to reiterate.........DO NOT DO THAT! CR England is a good choice. Sign on the line, Fulfill your obligation.....period.

The only complaints I ever heard about CRE is the lower CPM. Other than that, all of my friends there quite liked it.
Something to point out that Brett, GTown and Old School always state...the CPM doesn't matter if you prove yourself to be a producer. Its better to make 30cpm and keep rolling than 40cpm and not getting miles. So research that with the recruiters.

Hi have any of you gone through CR England's driving school program? If so how did it go, how long did it take and did you have to take a driving test at the DMV or because they are a large company do they sign off on it? Also is it paid training?
And on a side note if I sign the contract with them get my CdL and a month or two later I want to switch companies will I be pro rated considering how much time I worked with them to how much I then owe? Or will I still owe the full amount even if I fulfill 9/10 of my contract
