CR England

This is my personal experience over the past year. I will keep this factual and try to keep emotion out of it. There are things that if I had known before they happened I might have done different.

The day I finished the "SR" track I was told that afternoon and not before there was a 3-4 week wait on company trucks. That very morning the person in charge made it seem as though there would be a truck available that day...

After locating my own truck owned by an owner/operator I signed a letter of resignation with CR England but that started a whole new "non-understanding" of how a non-employee relationship occurs. First off as a driver in an owner/operator truck you have all sorts of rights but you have no rights. If your driver manager should yell at you for no good reason like, you were assigned a load you can do nothing with and refuse the load they are allowed to yell at you. Then the fun really begins....

You take your first student whom the company tells you how they are supposed to be at a certain level and can be trusted. So then after you experience how inexperienced this student is and stay up for his shift then yours and you pull over for a rest at 3am and are awoken by a load manager and they take the load be prepared that the yelling and accusing coming from your driver manager and safety manager is just S.O.P.

On their Qualcomm message machines their is this message form where it tells you that if your being asked to do something illegal or unsafe that message will be seen by upper management.. Go ahead and fill that puppy out. You will find out eventually that message goes nowhere and the only way upper management would be able to see that message is if they cared enough to log into the system where they apparently don't so when your pulling out your hair because even the "safety manager" ridicules you for doing something that your legally entitled to or makes accusations that are unfounded you will want to know that those concerns do not get seen by anyone.

Be also advised that even though you signed a letter of resignation and hold no standing with the company in regards to how you are treated CR England still gets to rate you to "dac" as though you are in-fact an employee. With "dac" there are no qualifiers about training a student or driving not for the company or being in an owner/operator truck, to them you are a defacto employee.

Pretty good deal I'd say. They get a payment from the government because of you. They can treat you any-which way they want without being held accountable and then they can post false things about you and call you their employee when you've signed a paper resigning from them... What a deal!!!

In my "SR" class of eight about a year ago there is only, I think, one driver left. He was an experienced driver and leased a truck and usually when I hear from him he can't afford to buy food and lives out of his truck...

 

Not sure what you are trying to get across here. I'm quite sure it is normal in any profession to learn things along the way.... I am sure even you have learned things in your experience that you didn't know before....

 

I did not... CR England told me the student was "qualified" and I should be able to accept that on face value... Wow you guys are so superior... Such greatness!!!

 

Just telling it like it is.... I had real experience there. Unfortunately it was alot of bad experiences. I do believe this forum area is regarding people's experiences that people actually have. Everything I have written is true because I experienced it. I believe there is a forum for people with good experiences.
