    "Fleece", in this case, is a term often used to describe
    lease programs, --- as in pulling the wool over the eyes
    of starry-eyed newBees who don't have enough experience in the
    Big truck truckin' industry to recognize a scam when it's presented to them.
    And C.R. England seems to be one of the worst, and all too often,
    winds up destroying those who fall for it.

    They take advantage of MANY, who are just good workin' people
    tryin' to find a way to get ahead and, instead, get so far behind the
    eight-ball that their credit AND drivin' careers are ruined as a direct result.

    There oughta be a law against what C.R. England, and other truckin'
    companies with similar lease programs do to folks. But, until there is
    such a law, these unscrupulous companies will continue to do what
    they do, as there seems to be no end of the number of folks who don't
    properly research the companies that continue to profit from the
    failures they set folks up for. And/Or, those who think it won't
    happen to them.

    From the topic starter

    He forgot to mention those good hard working drivers that you speak of aftershock, that just don't get enough miles to make ends meet. But of course it has to be the drivers fault somehow.

    That was posted about a week ago,
    and we haven't heard any updates from Biker, .......
    yet.

    As I think y'all can imagine, an accident like that when y'all are
    a company driver would be bad enough, --- but as a lease program
    participant, there's a LOT more on the line and at stake.

    C.R. England is WELL known for leaving their lease drivers high and dry.
    And not being very forgiving.
    I hope they don't do that to Biker.
    But, if they do, ........ who's to blame?
    It's not like he wasn't warned.

    We're anxiously awaiting a report from Biker.
    HOPEFULLY, a GOOD report.
    Although, no news usually means bad news, I sure hope
    that's not the case.

    Not to mention all the additional extra (hidden) charges they tack
    onto a lease driver, MOSTLY to cover C.R. England's buttox,
    and NOT the lessee's behind.

    At C.R. England, failure IS a very real option.
    Just not for C.R.E.
    They seem to manage to come out smellin' like a rose.
    While the lessee goes from the penthouse to the
    outhouse.

    And folks never seem to wonder why C.R.E. finds it necessary to have
    metal detectors and armed guards.
    I wonder who they think those things are there to protect?
    The drivers?
    Or those who support(?) said drivers?
    Other Big truck truckin' companies don't seem to find those things
    necessary. Other truckin' companies advertise an Open Door Policy.
    At C.R. England, it seems the only Open Door -----
    is the door marked
    EXIT.
    All the other doors seem to be marked
    Do NOT Enter.
    But that doesn't seem to stop folks from lining up outside those
    doors, anyway.

    What ARE they thinkin'? :dontknow:
    That they'll be the ONE that succeeds?

    Hello,

    I was recently driving for Central Refrigerated Services out of Salt Lake City, UT. I quit there after being treated like crap, and tried getting on with England. My Driving History and Experience checked out good, but Central put a false report on my DAQ, saying they fired me for having a late load. I quit, I wasn't fired. How can I correct this to get on with England? Anyone know?

    If any people are thinking about going with CR England, think about going broke if you with their lease program and think twice about going with them. I would go with Swift before I went with england. Swift pays more and england rips you off. I do not mean to compare the worst two but please take a look at their pay scale and you'll see Swift wins as you get payed .35 cpm compared to englands .295 cpm after one year.
