    How many actually do a research on England and even many that do research still go there.

    I don't know why it's got to be so difficult. I started at England in 2006, did there school and they took $ 50.00 a week out of my check for 18 months, and then with the school paid off i left.

    I have a relative who recently came
    Back from "training" at CR England. The stories
    told are amazing of how un-human those people are. They want to shove truck-leases
    down drivers trucks - it's crazy! My relative has his license class-A and all the physicals he requires. They wanted him to take more than 2 PE's at CR, both paid by him, and take-out an Indiana permit to drive out in the road (he has class-A license!!!!). He was told
    training was paid and then they said it wasn't, so the 3 weeks he was gonna b there were going to be unpaid... It was nuts. Everything was nuts.

    You're righ. Another thing I have seen is people asking for advice after the fact.Guess I can't say much, I went thru one of Swifts 'Mills' never did any research.

    wow... were you high? england is possibly the worst company in america to work for. and i mean every company in america not just driving jobs. its not their fault that you didnt like how things were run so why waste money suing them just to lose. if you would of researched any website on the internet you would of found a million different threads on england and maybe 1 or 2 would of been positive. man some people these days i just dont get it. everyone is sue happy just cause they didnt get what they want. i got a good deal and pay central ref. 3000 back for my license

    I am glad you had a better luck researching and in training. Of course I disagree with your stance that just because I was able to be mistreated; therefore, I had it coming and ought just accept it.

    you weren't mistreated. you just think you were.

    but yeah. it's common knowledge it's the worse company to work for. just gotta do the research.

    look at it this way. your really saving yourself a miserable life. cuz trucking isn't what it used to be. and the govt is only making it worse. but yet, they can't see that. they are blinded in the fact that they really are doing us all some good.

    but if you really want to be a govt pet that bad. look into central. also in utah. they seem to be very very few best schools.

    Engar: Good post. Hopefully this will help others to stay far away from CRE. Sorry you had this experience and NO not all companies are like this like some guy on here said. Take what is said on here with a grain of salt. Dont give up and continue to search for your next company to work for.

    Good Luck Driver!

    Good for this kid. Sure his lawsuit probably will be considered frivolous but maybe if more people stood up for themselves like he tried to, this trucking companies like CRE wouldn't be allowed to get away with the BS they get away with.

    I can see being indebted some to companies that help a person get their CDL and train if they need it. But they shouldn't be allowed to treat people like they do. It's a bunch of BS. Only if more people would stand up for themselves and refuse to let this kinda bs happen.
