Leading this poster to believe that there aren't too many, if any.
Please, PLEASE, ---- tell me that your husband has more than 6 months total driving experience!!
Does anyone have a CR England success story ?

And C.R. England seems to be one of the worst, and all too often,
winds up destroying those who fall for it.

They take advantage of MANY, who are just good workin' people
tryin' to find a way to get ahead and, instead, get so far behind the
eight-ball that their credit AND drivin' careers are ruined as a direct result.

There oughta be a law against what C.R. England, and other truckin'
companies with similar lease programs do to folks. But, until there is
such a law, these unscrupulous companies will continue to do what
they do, as there seems to be no end of the number of folks who don't
properly research the companies that continue to profit from the
failures they set folks up for. And/Or, those who think it won't
happen to them.

He forgot to mention those good hard working drivers that you speak of aftershock, that just don't get enough miles to make ends meet. But of course it has to be the drivers fault somehow.

Biker Update II
I know a lot of people here know him and his internet access is limited right now and he asked me to come by and share his adventures on the road. Well he made it thru training with no incidents and got his own truck. Unfortunitly CR england talked him into a lease option package and he went for it. This is his second week out on his own and he already had his first incident. He was at a truck stop and either backing into the spot or pulling out his trailer tore up the truck next to him pretty badly. He is concerned that england is going to fire him for this. As of last night there is no word on what is going to happen. He is pretty shook up about it all so everybody wish him well. Not much more on the details right now but as they come in i will keep you informed.

I can not stress enough for you drivers to get out and look. If you have the slightest doubt in your mind on where your trailer is or if you can make the space , please get out and look. And with winter coming up it is easy to hit a small patch of ice in a truck stop and slide just a foot and that is all it takes to cause an accident. Know your surroundings and G.O.A.L that space.

That was posted about a week ago,
and we haven't heard any updates from Biker, .......
yet.

As I think y'all can imagine, an accident like that when y'all are
a company driver would be bad enough, --- but as a lease program
participant, there's a LOT more on the line and at stake.

C.R. England is WELL known for leaving their lease drivers high and dry.
And not being very forgiving.
I hope they don't do that to Biker.
But, if they do, ........ who's to blame?
It's not like he wasn't warned.

We're anxiously awaiting a report from Biker.
HOPEFULLY, a GOOD report.
Although, no news usually means bad news, I sure hope
that's not the case.

Not to mention all the additional extra (hidden) charges they tack
onto a lease driver, MOSTLY to cover C.R. England's buttox,
and NOT the lessee's behind.

At C.R. England, failure IS a very real option.
Just not for C.R.E.
They seem to manage to come out smellin' like a rose.
While the lessee goes from the penthouse to the
outhouse.

And folks never seem to wonder why C.R.E. finds it necessary to have
metal detectors and armed guards.
I wonder who they think those things are there to protect?
The drivers?
Or those who support(?) said drivers?
Other Big truck truckin' companies don't seem to find those things
necessary. Other truckin' companies advertise an Open Door Policy.
At C.R. England, it seems the only Open Door -----
is the door marked
EXIT.
All the other doors seem to be marked
Do NOT Enter.
But that doesn't seem to stop folks from lining up outside those
doors, anyway.

What ARE they thinkin'?
That they'll be the ONE that succeeds?

Forbidden Exclamation C.R. England?
Hello,

I was recently driving for Central Refrigerated Services out of Salt Lake City, UT. I quit there after being treated like ####, and tried getting on with England. My Driving History and Experience checked out good, but Central put a false report on my DAQ, saying they fired me for having a late load. I quit, I wasn't fired. How can I correct this to get on with England? Anyone know?

Take Swift over England anyday
If any people are thinking about going with CR England, think about going broke if you with their lease program and think twice about going with them. I would go with Swift before I went with england. Swift pays more and england rips you off. I do not mean to compare the worst two but please take a look at their pay scale and you'll see Swift wins as you get payed .35 cpm compared to englands .295 cpm after one year.
