First day with CR england

Thank you. Finally a voice of reason, compared to the normal complaining truck driver, who thinks he's worth more than he is, you post's are refreshing. There is no perfect job nor company that is willing to pay top wages/bennies for entry level positions. JLS1024 stay positive young lady, work hard and when the work is no longer equal to the reward, pack up and offer your services and positive outlook to another company. Option 2 is to be miserable and complain about the hand that feeds you and then try and poison everyone you come in contact with to feel and act the way you do.

 

If you drive for CR England you ain't going to be going to the Big Texan very often. It is expensive and they don't take CRE I owe yous.

 

Hate to burst your bubble, but get used to it. The majority on here are not just folks who decided to go after England. They have been or know friends and loved ones that have HOSED by this rotten, filthy company. I hope it works out for you and your hubby, but don't count on it. I would delay all put absolute necessity purchases and tell him it is divorce court if he even mentions leasing a truck from these maggots. You like hundreds of others who come here have been warned. If you come back in 3, 6 ,9 months in bankruptcy court and living in the car, don't expect a lot of sympathy. Hard? Hell yes. But as long as CRE can keep luring the finest siding salespeople in the nation to recruit for them, they will have a steady supply of slave labor.

 

When one paticular thread has a lot of negative comments compared to others, there is usually a reason for that. Read and believe, or read and ignore, it's up to you.

Things will work out for a few people, but not for most at these bottom feeder companies. That's just the way things are, and the people who are doing ok will blame all the bad comments on the person who post them. Some people do bring on their own problems. I see this every day, but everyone can not be wrong.

It appears the bloom is coming off the CR rose. I hate to hear that, but am not suprised. It is easy to see stars in the first few weeks, but then the lies start. The company rules change hourly these days, as they will do whatever they can to save a nickle at anyone's expense but theirs.

Don't be suprised to hear quite a few more lies before your husband either quits, is fired, or manages to make it and learns to live with CR.

Good luck, you'll need it.

 

I look forward to reading following with your post at least for this week. I am scheduled to got to the Salt Lake City location on Sunday, but I'm flying. Not screwing around with the Bus. They don't have "First Class". HAHAHA
Been looking around seeing tons of negative stuff about the company, but no other job found yet and I don't wanna spend all through my savings.
Good luck and please keep posting.

 

Hey, bro

How was the schooling with CR? CR was my second choice, RoadMasters was first when I was planning to get involved in this business but apparently, I ended up with Swift. How much is the total coast for tuition with them?

I wonder why????

 

Right now the job market doesn't look very promising for truck drivers in general. I tried to get back into driving back in Nov 2008, and ended up sitting at home come Christmas without a truck and without any money. Some ppl make it, and some ppl don't. It can be a very frustrating industry and it amazes me how some ppl are getting 3000+ miles, while others are losing their homes. I hated it when the truck wasn't moving, because I loved to drive. You always read complaints in here that the ppl who don't make it are the ones who sit in the truckstops or just plain don't want to drive. That isn't always true. I didn't refuse any loads either, went into NY too. I guess it is just the luck of the draw. I know ppl have to start somewhere. Right now there are very few places to start with. Good luck jls....I hope it goes better for you than it did for me.
