Training was extremely inconsistent, I was constantly pulled away from training to work on other peoples' jobs that had nothing to do with mine.Other comments
I was lucky to even get one week of the three required weeks of training. I was constantly pulled away from my training to do other peoples' jobs that had nothing to do with my own or the training itself. When I did get trained it was handled well, pre trip was covered extensively and we got to practice each maneuver until we got it right and we did get some road time.

The school was great but my first driver trainer was terrible. He was the main reason I left.Other comments
The classroom training was great, the person I was given to train me driving after I had my license was an idiot. If you stay with the company for one year it is free. I didn't like driving over the road so I chose to pay for the training. It's your choice.

That was fast and it was fun and I had no experience whatsoever and he taught me everything I needed to know in 2 hours. Drove the truck and practice came back the next day took my test and passed. Would never recommend anybody to a truck driving school like CR England or Swift or if it's going to cost you more than $500.

Lack of teacher per student ratio and if spent more time would produce better safer student driversOther comments
The program isn't bad they just could do a lot better of making the class sizes smaller and spending more time with each individual student also training in a manual truck instead of the automatics that they do because it's causing a restriction on the students license which is very difficult to remove an ultimately shrinks their job market but not the worst one I've seen by far.
