    I was living with my parents and had a few expenses for car, food and cell phone and didn’t have enough money for anything. I laugh so hard at the back of the trailers where it says “great pay is just the start.”
    Even if you’re content with the slaves wage of 28 CPM the office employees really treat you like dirt. C. R. England is the worst company in the world to work for.

    Well Big...I feel your pain. All I can say is.. move on and find a job where you can earn a respectable living and be able to take care of your obligations. This is a great site to research companies and get advice from from other drivers. I would suggest you look at the good things written here as well as the bad. The first to post about a company are the disgruntled. The last to post are the satisfied. Good Luck Driver.
     
    jethro712 and Just passing by Thank this.

    If CRE were my only option, I'd rather work TWO retail jobs than get in one of their trucks.

    I have NEVER heard ANYTHING good about them.

    this is why many of us discourage someone from getting involved with a lease deal. just as you'd want money in the bank (like 6 months worth) if you were going to BUY a truck, money in the bank is also recommended for a lease deal.

    obvious to many here, you were brand new in the industry and i'll just bet that you had, had enough of your life and wanted better.

    well, when you let yourself be duped into anything with out fully investigating, then you have NO ONE to blame, but yourself.

    learn from this fiasco, and just be a company driver for awhile, THEN investigate the possible out right purchase or a rig....way into your future....

    Seems some of the poll choices are a bit lacking.

    Doesnt surprise me.... Flease Purchase will do that to you... Flease Purchase wasn't designed to help the driver it was designed to help the company...

    I wonder if there's any way to find out how many L/P drivers actually bite the dust?
    We get a few that post here but, using that as an example, there must be a lot more.
