This has to be a troll . The average trip is 3-4 weeks and 1400 miles . Yeah , about 350 miles a week so weekly pay at $.26 a mile is just under $90 a week . Most people go home by Greyhound before the 3 or 4 weeks is up . Either the trainer boots you or you escape from the pervert when he leaves the handcuff key too close .
You can park your car at Burns Harbor . Their parking rates are less than airport rates if you sign a lease .
When you are looking for these people who share these types of qualities just go on the CB and say you are looking for good buddies .

Disregard the truck stop cowboys on this forum, they have never even drove for England. Reminds me of Nam veterans bragging about the war then you find out they never even left the US lol
Burns Harbor has nothing to do with anything. You just train there. The chances of you going back through Burns is the spin of a roulette wheel, best to leave your car at home. But there were several of us who took our cars to Burns to train and we left it there during that time, it don't cost anything.
AchioteCoyote Thanks this. -
.26 cents a mile is only after you complete your phase one and phase two training, until then you get .12 a mile. Both are bogus, any "good" company starts drivers at around.37 a mile which at C.R. you can only earn after several years of servitude. I would advise if married or children stay away, as you most likely wont get to see them for atleast 6 months. (and thats if your lucky)

I have been heavily considering CR England. I am not one to just jump into something just because it sounds good. That said, I will soon be attending their training school. I have done my research. Just does not seem like a good idea. What has been your experience since your last post Kevin. I see that I do need to be prepared to maybe starve, and be left stranded on the road somewhere. As well as not being paid on time and a whole list of other things. I am a fighter and many times even though life is not nice to me, it always tuffens me up to be stronger than most, thus I always fare well in any hardship. I dont really want to prepare myself to get dicked around by this company, but the training plus the garunteed job seems like a good deal. Are their any other companies that offer training and hiring as CR England? Or is it worth it and the weak just perish when compared to the strong?

@ DG did you get the free training with 6 mo. contract?
I think anyone can deal with 6 mo. -
I did. They say that I have to start this Monday but I will wait until next Monday. She said the deal will still be applied. From my research it seems like I will have to fight my way out of leasing a truck. What are the pros and cons of leasing a truck...through CR England?

6 mounths seems preety good to me. I just need to be prepared to wrestle and fight to survive. I dont want my pay to be comprimised, meaning if I do everything on my part right, I just want the same from them. I dont want to be left in the wilderness fighting bears, even though I welcome the opportuninty, I just shouldnt have too.

My thoughts are only from others views, And there are not good.
I have no personal exp. with them. The only thing I would caution you on is, If you get fired/quit before you contract is up you'll owe them Mucho dinero -
I feel sorry for you...if you think you'll make money there...no free lunch..no free dinner...crappy hotel ...they bus you everywhere you go and treat you like seize.....
