    Even if you do sue it will be 10-15 years before you see any money. Just look at that class action lawsuit OOIDA won against them. Appeal after appeal.

    evd - no we didn't know about their rep until after he had gotten over there. We knew nothing at all about the trucking industry. He had just shut his contracting business down after 12 years due to the poor economy, lack of work and rising gas prices. He started looking in the local ads for work - and ran across the CR England ad . . . called them up - promised him a bunch of stuff - and had him on a bus within a few days . . . it never even crossed our mind to do any research prior to him going. Wish we had now though.

    When I started out 20 years ago, there was no internet. I wish I would of had tools like this site to research.

    I just want to thank you all for the advise and support. We did some research on Schneider Trucking - and while we did read some "not so good reviews" - the majority of what we've read has been positive - so with that in mind along with the referrals we've received here and other places online - he applied online yesterday and got a call this morning. If all goes well, he'll be going to work for them shortly.

    Thanks again for the advise and feedback. Much appreciated! You all have a great week :)

    I just left CRE last week, they lied about the company positions(of course). I just finished spending 6 weeks in the phase two "Q" fleet, a.k.a 2 students "training" in a truck together without a trainer. After much frustration and them stealing my money out of my check, I quit. Went to Knight Transportation. Like Schneider, Knight has mixed reviews but much better than CR England! Best wishes :)

    It just burns my ##### that they can get away with lying to people the way they do! Glad you were able to get out and get with a better company. Best of luck to you as well!

    Ibeck I thank you for bringing up this thread. I am currently looking at cdl driving schools that were company sponsored and cr england was one that I was looking at but thanks to you and the rest of the truckers here I was able to see that it might be wise to look elsewhere. Thanks again.
