The truth about C.R. England.

AfterShock,

 

3700+ Employees
1300+ Company Owned Tractors
2200+ Owner/Operator Tractors
Countless driver trainees cycled through annually

And they're going to pick you out of the herd, because you're special!

 

What about Fleece/Operators? You didn't mention them!
Unless you mistakenly lumped them in with Owner/Operators which would obviously be a mistake since a Fleece/Operator is not an Owner/Operator by any stretch of the imagination!

A Fleese/Operator is just a company driver that's dumb enough to make the payments on a truck that he'll never own, and if by some chance he does make it to the end and pay the ridiculous ballon payment at the end he will have paid almost double what the truck is worth.


Sign me up!

 

Yeah, I don't know where those poor souls fit in these numbers; they come from this report. The accountants at those outfits will find a way to make the fleece-to-owners invisible if it's to the company's benefit - it looks nice when there's a good positive revenue stream, and the associated capital liability is on some other poor schmuck's ledger.

Aftershock...what determination. I bet you feel great about yourself after that one... As earlier stated..BRAVO! This is basically all you do, I've seen you di it so many times. Come in after every thread and comment on every statement like your a no it all. Its called discussion bro. that's how people "discuss" things to come to an answer...The one thing that I never heard that kinda changed my mind for a min is when I was told they will tell you from the get go you have to lease or else be fired... Now that ruins my plans on doing 6 months and getting out because I wont lease.. Is this the truth? Who the hell knows. I do have a suggestion for you, why not humble yourself and give some good advice before trying to make someone feel stupid. I know it wont make you feel like a king afterwords....but it may help.

 

I must say that I thoroughly enjoy Aftershock's posts, and that's all I have to say about that. If his post offended you... Then perhaps you need to take a good look at yourself. He said NOTHING untrue.

Oh, really? I have a close friend who, along with her husband, was a lease operator. They purchased a brand new tractor for lease payments of $107,500 plus a balloon payment of $37,500. How much does it cost to buy a tractor, as an individual consumer, including interest? Half of that? I want to see this $60,000 tractor...where do I get one?

Don't forget to include the tax advantage of leasing vs. purchasing, and the depreciation of the tractor after it is purchased. I assume you have hired a good accounting firm that will be willing to explain this to you.

 

1. Dude, Shocky has forgotten more about trucking than you will EVER know.
2. You're borderline out of control thinking that shocky was ranting or a crack head.
3. With the attitude you have displayed here with this post and the prior one you'll go real far in this industry ....NOT
4. Put your pride in your backpocket where it belongs until you log a few hundred thousand miles.


that is a rant, Shocky gave you a well thought out reply to many of your posts. get over it will ya
