Hi everyone.good news,I passed my road test for Celadon. I will be doing orientation next week,than waiting on a trainer.I am super excited about this.I have been praying for this opportunity and God has truly blessed me to get a start on a new life.I know it's not glamorous or fun and games but I wanna grasp this and Move foward and enjoy the ride.I will keep you all posted on progress. Thanks

Thanks Old School.So far I am keeping a positive attitude and looking foward to the training.I am also the type of person that hear but don't listen to a lot of negative from elsewhere . I like to make my own judgment as far as important decision making.If not for that,l would not be here now,because of family and friends with those kinds of negative attitudes. I have every intention of making my decision into a positive experience.

Thanks Michael.We may cross paths sometime.

Hi again yall ,I'm here ! I arrived this morning around 3:30 .Everything has gone great so far.I had breakfast which was really good. In my room now going to get on this High Road Training to brush up a little. Wanna be prepared for whatever is thrown my way.This Dorm room is not so bad,especially since I don't have a room mate.going to keep you posted as much as possible.Work start tomorrow at 8.keep me in your prayers because I really wanna do this. Thanks everyone.

Hello everyone it's been a while since I been on the forum.How is everyone ? The last time I was here I was thinking about going to CRE.Well,now I have decided to go with Celadon.I'm at the bus station now headed to Indianapolis.I will keep you posted on progress.Thanks everyone for listening.

I have been accepted by CRE and am supposed to start there training on june 27.I have mixed feelings about this but am going to give it a try regardless. Anyone on the forum that can give me some friendly advice , please do so.I already have my CLass A,but never used them. (3 years).I was told that I would do a 10 day/2week refresher and than go with a trainer.Has anyone else on the forum been through this with CRE ?

I have. I was with them for 4 years as a lease driver. It's fast paced there. Be ready for it. You will have it easier since you already have your CDL and you will practice on the backing pad just like everyone else.

Thanks for the info , it gives me some encouragement knowing you was with them 4 years.

Welcome aboard Justmeblessed!

Why do you say you have mixed feelings about it? I'm asking because life on the road will test you to the core at times. Almost everyone thinks about walking away from trucking during those first few months on the road. So if you're going in there thinking, "Well, I'm not really sure if this is where I want to be but I'll stick with it if I like it" then it probably won't last very long or end well.

So I'm just wondering if you're concerned about working for CR England or maybe just getting out on the road in general?

Thanks.My concerns are mainly for the company .I am a 48 year old female and I have heard a lot of horrer stories said about CRE.I feel ready for the road and excited to be going.I was more interested in Celedon as a company , but CRE was who I got the call from.So, I said sure why not .I have got to start somewhere.
