Well, almondlikethenut, all advice you asked for has been 100% against CRE. If you don't wanna hear it, or take it, go back to the Rev.'s first comment. It doesn't take rocket science...

well I will throw in my 1/2 cent worth though I may get creamed for it.

I have worked for CRE as a Company Driver. The Lease program started while I was with them. I did not like it then, and what I have learned on here and other forum, it seems the wrong way to go in the long run. Few has been successful but many have failed.

I have talked with some CRE Drivers and they too sound positive about it. But in all it your attitude with any Company will make it or break it for you.

Would I go back with them? Nope....

The Rev. was right..... you have a serious mental disorder; too much time on your hands, and too much vacant space between your ears!!

Because someone gets it in their head that they want to "own their dream", and CRE does a damn good job of selling them on it.

My friend lasted through his training period with CRE and I managed to talk him out of it. It appears, his trainers (all of them) never let him back even once into a dock. they were all in to much of a rush. I think that should say something about the pay scale. If they can't even take the time to train thier trainees it becomes an issue. I got him with another company and now he can back pretty decent.

One other time I was talking to a CRE driver and he had almost a year with them and was still making like 27 cpm, amazing someone will work for that for so long. It's one thing to do it for the 1st 30 days but an entire year???

If you do go with CRE, as others said stay away from the lease purchase program. They were realy pushing it on my friend, again, I talked him out of it.

I'm hearing some good things about the Holocaust. Schmuck!

BTW. Hey Rev! Wouldn't you think that this rodent, at the very least, could make an attempt at acceptable syntax? :wink:
