Why do truckers on here seem to hate CR England?

Lol and the hits keep coming ^

 

I cant find squat on it. Ttr has a thread from 2009 saying what @NavigatorWife said. But that was driver to driver talk.

I HIGHLY doubt CRE and Prime are associated with each other beyond being training, mega, 1000's trucks, etc.

 

I know the OP was asking a simple question. Then the thread was hijacked some. I can only speak to what has already been said. However as to the training problem across ALL of trucking, there is not nowhere near enough polish to polish that turd.

 

I don't get what gets these newbies so stressed out that they do something stupid... Don't get me wrong trucking can be stressful, but not that stressful.

When I first started long haul (which wasn't that long ago) I already knew how to drive and had several years of local experience. But my first otr run I had my own truck, and followed another driver halfway across the country way far from anywhere I had ever been in my life. We then parted ways at my first receiver and I was left to my own to find my way back... I had a list of dispatch orders, a GPS, a truck, a reefer, a fuel card, a cellphone, and the grey-matter God blessed me with... And I did great! I haven't had any issues or problems. Maybe its that I'm with a good company, or maybe I'm smarter than the average new hire that the megas hire... I don't know...

Just curious what is so hard that causes new guys to screw up.

 

Go sign up, try it for yourself. Let us know the REAL experience.....

 

Thanks for taking some of the heat off Swift. The only reason I posted was because there's a CR England truck "parked" on the side of the road a few miles from here, for only about 2 months.

 

Driver training for the new bulk division

 

I think we're generally referring to those that are totally unaccustomed to winter driving being thrown out here in a big parachute that wiggles in the middle.. wind driving.. or not knowing how to read a map and trusting GPS blindly.. getting into a tight situation and panicking bc of the sheer size of the vehicle and the lack of experience to know if it's a go or no go situation..
Knowing how to deal with and expect the sheer idiocy from the public and see it before it happens.

I think YOU are an abnormality.
Something in life had you ready, be it the military, or a good family that taught you how to be independent.

 

All of those things that you mentioned, except for map reading, worry me, at least a little, if not a lot.
