CR England
Drugs

I went to Dallas for orientation. The hotel was dirt and filled with bugs. Stayed there a week and they only cleaned the room once and that was only after complaining. CR England does own the hotel

The first trainer I had was great, Matt Helmer. Had him for 3 weeks. I really didn't want to lease so I didn't really see why I had to do another 3 weeks with another trainer.

First conversation with new trainer did go that well. He informed me that he WAS NOT coming to pick me up. I live 3 minutes off I-95. So I drove 3.5 hours to meet him. Met him at 11:30pm. He then tells me I have to drive first leg. He had dedicated run between Atlanta and Cinncinatti 9 hours. I told him he should have told me that so I would be ready. He suggested that I take a No-Doz and that would help. I was reluctant but did so anyway. Made it to Cinnci, by 10:30 am no problem. We ate and left Cinnci around 3:30pm. I could not sleep for most of the ride back. Not sure why, probably combination of No-Doz in system and his truck was not the best.

Got to Atlanta around 11:00pm.informed him i had not slept much. He said I should have told him he would have given me a sleeping pill. I said A SLEEPING PILL, he said not really a sleeping pill but would help me relax so i could go to sleep. He suggested I take another No-Doz that i would be doubly tired the next day and could probably sleep. Got to cinnci about 11:30am with the last 3 hours driving in a snow storm. Slept even less coming back this time. When we got back I told him I hadn't slept and that there was no way i was driving out that night. Again, he suggested i take the sleeping pill. I told him under no condition was I taking anymore medication for anything. What was going to happen after the three weeks with him. I would be so messed with using all that medication.

I suggested to him that if he felt comfortable taking the medication that he should let me drive the drive back and he drive the over the night run. He got very indignent and reminded me it was his truck and he set what was what. I told him that we needed to do something or I would do what i had to do. He said "so are you quitting". I said no, we have a problem. I have given you an option to resolve it. You either accept my option or come with another that doesn't include taking medication. He asked again "are you quitting". I said no, its your truck and if you don't accept my option or give me one to consider then I guess you are telling me to get off the truck. He said then do what you have to do. So I got off.

I called the training coordinator the next day to tell her what happened. She actually suggested that I should have tried the medication. I asked her why had CR England taught me all that stuff about safety and fatigue management. Nothing I had heard ever mentioned taking medication.in fact they said the only cure for fatigue was SLEEP. I told her that if her solution was to suggest i take the meds, then maybe this isn't the company I want to work for.

I hope they haven't put anything on my DAC
