Awesome can't wait til it's my turn!

Yea that's what I'm hearing at school too about companies going automatic. One of the guys told me he trained on a auto cause PAM uses autos but had no restrictions on his cdl. I have also heard of companies going to auto sticks and from what I heard that is a transmission that allows you to choose between manual or auto. Now that would be pretty cool.

Officially hired by CR England today. My driver trainer called me and said he will pick me up tomorrow. I so exited to start driving and earning a living again. It's been a month since I've had any income coming in and with a family of 6 I don't have to tell you that i'm broke. Will leave some updates while I'm out with my trainer.

Thanks Justin for the words of wisdom. I was a local student so I drove home everyday, but they are still using Dallas inn as the motel. I heard it was because no other motel will take us do the fact we have been kicked out of several motels in that area. Heard one group burned down the top floor one. By the way how long is phase 2 of the program and does it pay the same as phase 1 ?

Ok took my driving test today and passed. It felt amazing to pass. Can hardly wait to start phase 1. Hope my mentor is a good one. Still need to work on some shifting but overall going pretty good. See you guys on the road. BE SAFE OUT THERE!!!

Thanks Justin, and Brett You guys were right on the money. Justin they do have some outstanding instructors. I'm going to start day 11 tomorrow and I'm taking my driving test at the dps tomorrow. Everything goes real fast and I feel confident that I will pass tomorrow.

Thanks for your advice Matt

I'm starting company sponsored school with CR England tomorrow at the Cedar Hill, TX campus. I am a little nervous. I have never driven a big truck before and right now have no income coming in and a lot is riding on me to pass. I have been putting in a lot of studying time and doing test preps for the exam. So I am pretty sure about passing the written portions, but concerned about passing the driving exams. Any advice would be appreciated.
