Before You Arrive

Before you arrive we have developed this guide to help you understand the process of becoming a professional truck driver. Reading and following this guide will give you the information necessary to make a smooth transition to becoming a driver with C. R. England.

Prior to attending a C. R. England truck driving school or orientation, we strongly recommend that you do the following:

1. Go on the Internet to the following web address to test your eye sight:
   
   http://www.preventblindness.org/eye_tests/Adult_distance_test.html
   
   Click HOTV chart and print out the chart. Follow the directions on the web site to test each eye. Once you complete the test you must be able to read the 20/30 line in each eye to pass the test.
   
   If you are unable to pass this test you will not be able to get your driving permit and will be sent home. You will need to get your eyes tested and either update your current lens prescription or get glasses to pass the test.
2. Go to a drug store or super market that provides a free blood pressure test and check your blood pressure.
   
   If your blood pressure is above 140/90 you will need to see a doctor prior to coming to the C. R. England school.
3. If you do not currently have a CDL(Commercial Drivers License) go to your local Department of Motor Vehicle and pick up a CDL manual or go to the internet at the following address and print out a CDL manual:
   
   http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/comlhdbk/comlhdbk.pdf

In order to pass the CDL permit test so we can begin training you in a truck it is necessary you read and study the necessary sections in this manual prior to arrival at the C. R. England School. The sections you need to print out and study are sections one through six.

After you study, you can test your knowledge with C. R. England's online practice tests.
