BEWARE of CR England!

ya you have to be a member.You know how I know?because I am a member,lol.Membership is $25.00 a yr.But like I said they will give you advice just can't help.

 

Didn't read the whole thing but not surprised about this topic... heard it many times. I actually spoke to a past company driver that they tried to get to sign a lease and he left. As a co driver, he was there for two years actually and said it wasn't bad since he was on a dedicated account - otherwise it would have been pretty bad from talking to other drivers.

Weirdest thing he told be and most interesting - to get in and talk to anyone (managers/dispatchers) at the salt lake city headquarters, they have you go through a security guard, metal detector and then another guard with a metal wand like at the airport - hmmm too many threats ??


I'm just surprised people still do the lease with them, even after reading posts on here... (not referring to original poster). Hope everything works out for you/husband.

 

I'm sure there's a few or more people on here that went through this but most people just switch companies and give up on doing anything about past experience since it take time and $$ to do anything against these guys and the ball keeps rolling... sad that they're in business.


Membership for ooida is $45 I think, but its $25 w/referral. (if you need a member number, let us know).

 

If they post anything on DAC he can send in his own rebutted account and have it placed on file, just because they post it does not make it the final word.

Here is the link to the old board with information concerning this issue. Hope you and the husband the best and keep your head up, lessons learned and I bet he will come out shining in the end.

When I leased with England back in 2008 my truck broke down the second day I had it. The EGR valve froze but I think that was under the Freightliner warranty so I wasn't charged anything. I had to spend the night in a motel which road service gave me an express code for. They took that out of my paycheck.

 

most large companies are . they get u to pay for their company truck!! but yes i had been hired by cr england they had my entire driving history , told them exactly what was on there and even ask if it would b a problem . i was told NO problem and was hired thru the pre app. process. did not want to travel to slc ,ut and b rejected . i went thru orientation, afterwards interview with safety man and he said they could not hire me and had to get my stuff and leave the premises had security escort me to get my stuff from my room and they didn't pay my way home . this was at their salt lake city terminal .VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

 

Yes security is very high at c.r.england salt lake terminal felt like detention holding center ......that should have enlightened me ...and made me wonder but after orientation and realized what @#?$ they were i was glad to go home!!!!!!

 

wow.I already have to get in the 3rd left lane as it is to get around all the trucks that can't run the posted speed limit staying in the truck hammer lane drag racing another slow truck but I will definately give a wide berth to all CREnglands now that i know they have a trainee training another trainee. That is downright scary.
Best of luck to you and the husband ma'am.
