My experience at C.R. England:
I was excited at the opportunity to earn a CDL and begin a new career. However, my excitement quickly turned to horror. After an agonizing two day bus ride, I arrived at the SLC terminal. England pumps nearly 100 students through each of it's four schools in "meat-grinder" fashion. The dormitory was a petri dish of disease and viruses. The rooms held up to eight people and were more like jail cells than accommodations. The "schooling" progressed at an extremely rapid pace, however I held a perfect GPA throughout. I was placed into their "flex" program. (Which means that I went out with a local driver instead of being in the classroom) Having never seen the inside of a truck before, I was extremely nervous driving on the highway.
However, I "manned" through it and, with little instruction, taught myself the basics of shifting and operating a 40 ton vehicle on the open road.
