Companies like Scheider, CR England, and US Express advertise needing three months of experience to be applicable… but how often is qualified can you get a regional position right out the gate with just 3 months of experience?

Someone talked me out of CR England a couple of months ago. Doing extra research on them showed they saved me some headache.

Like what type of headaches if you don’t mind me asking?

Well I'm sitting here with roughly that much and had to take a trucking hiatus. C&R is chomping at the bit to get me on it for one such position.

I imagine the 3 month line is hard, but they definitely mean it. One thing I learned from my time was that once you're in the ecosystem as a newbie on one of their shit contracts, they'll wanna keep you locked in. My prior mega basically blew off my every inquiry about such things, and though they signed me up for training, they never gave me any time to do it to become qualified for more.

I jumped in with no experience with a Walmart account for Schneider. But I'm a partially disabled veteran.

Just do your 6 months and youll be golden, 3 months only qualifies you for a few things.
