Profile For Nathan G.

I know swift does both

my question is how does everyone cope with being away from their kids and wife while on the road? things you do to make it easier? just trying to find ways to ease my stress and not worry as much about whats happening at home every minute of the day. thanks in advance

i leave sunday to start training for cr england i will keep every posted on my progress.

Look on you tube type in what do swift trucks look like on inside. one guy has a crock pot and coffee maker. hope that helps

i am attending cr england burns harbor training facility on feb 22. Have any of you been thru there? just trying to better prepare myself for it. thanks for any help

One thing i forgot to add is that CR England does urine and hair test. the recruiter said they go back 4 monthes so you guys can add that to your list of companys that do hair test

Ok i have another choice to add to my schools Srt,swift or Cr England. I know i ask to many questions but i just want to get it right the first time. what are your guys thoughts on SRT. The recruiter on the phone said that i qualify with no doubt at all. i am really leaning towards srt i been reading reviews and they have about the best reviews between the 3. any advice on these company's would really be appreciated. when i talked to Cr England the first thing he asked me is if i would be interested in lease purchase. i read a post on here that said if you do a lease purchase your first year you got to be nuts. Because i would lose my butt. so any insight will help. mean time keep on trucking and be safe.

I have also been approved for srt. now i got a choice from SRT,swift and cr england. i am leaning towards srt. my father drove for them back when they had all purple internationals. it was a good company then so i hope it hasnt changed for the worse.

thanks g-town

i recently got excepted to CR england and swifts driving schools. i would just like to know what you guys think would be a better choice since you veterans have been around both of them. i have 4 small children that i am trying to raise so i need to get the ball rolling thanks.

Nathan, I attended Swift's Richmond Academy several years back and have nothing but good things to say about them. I was well prepared to pass the CDL tests and the mentoring phase provided an adequate base of experience for going solo. .

I really think you should take a closer look at the two companies (compare side by side using Trucking Companies) and how they meet your needs as a potential new driver for the next 12-24 months. Either route you take will provide adequate schooling required to obtain the CDL. Beyond that, it's all about the road training (and trainers), your contractual obligations, and the driving opportunities available as a new hire.

Good luck.
