Worst Career change

Discussion in 'Report A BAD Trucking Company Here' started by Mike777, Jan 7, 2013.

  1. I was a bus operator here in San Diego,CA some 15 years, also Had some trucking experience about 1yr 4mons. I had back surgery was out two years,
    well I had to take a refresher course so I contacted Cr England here in Fontana CA 2011, their training course was kinda good,the days were long but interesting.
    They did more barking at us then basic training, any way I did pass cause I had experience and was hired for long haul to Atlanta and was to go with the so call trainer which to this day might still be there. I can tell you at first hand that this guy didn't care if I passed out from not stopping not once,I drove 11hours straight all my runs 6days,he told me not to stop until we get to Atlanta.

    When I got there he didn't train me on anything at all, in fact he didn't train me on the road,he slept the entire trip there and back to Fontana,CA. He was more consumed with going home and the pay he got from me, I was making .13 per mile which he got and I had no place to go when we got to Fontana,CA so he drop me off at the Greyhound bus terminal at 2:30 am, no one in sight except drug attics,hookers and homeless people they took all my food,water what I had left on me. I tell you I was fuming so mad, but kept my hopes up I prayed a prayer and in five minutes a cabdriver saw me asked me if I was crazy for being out here,I told him what had happen he knew the company, said he picks up the new drivers for CR England from the greyhound, said this was the lowest they went dropping me here at this time.

    He was nice took me back to the Red Roof hotel I was in training some 12 miles away,they let me stay in the lobby till morning.
    Jumped on the bus went back home and never looked back.:biggrin_2559:

    not all companies that hire "new" drivers are like that. if you are still interested in trucking, look through the threads here on good and bad companies. first thing you should find is that cr england has at least 50 bad reviews for every good one. any company you find those numbers on should give you some serious hesitation about accepting a job there.
