Cdl School
Topic 8306 | Page 1
hi my name is keelen and I am getting ready to head out to Utah to start my schooling to start driving for C.R. England. I have been around trucks here and there but would appreciate any helpful tips from other drivers. I have been wanting to get my CDL for a long time and kept putting it off for different reasons, first one is my co-driver that was going to go with me passed away unexpectedly, then i got married and now i am getting divorced and going for it. its been a long time coming but i hope i can make it.
Keelen, sorry I don't have any sage advice for you. Just wanted to wish you good luck. I start my school in Baton Rouge, La. In one week. Cheers!
George

i contacted a few other companies but they where the first to get back to me and answer my questions. I have to drive 9 months for them but they are paying for me to get out to the school and housing all i have to pay for is food while im there and $40 license fee. They have been in contact with me almost every other day helping me get things going to make it out there. i have a few things i still have to get before i head out.
