I have read all the CRE posts here, and I will say Trainings going to suck pretty much everywhere you go, but you gotta start somewhere and you are going to have to crawl before you can walk. And to all of you, don't cry on where you have to deliver its part of the job, not every hole can have a football field in front of it.
most of what is posted about CRE is pretty true, THEY SUCK. Not so bad if you are a company driver.
If you are going to lease from them, the whole West Valley office smiles, but not you.
You are going to pay for everything, and I mean everything. Just like a true owner operator, but you will not get paid like a true owner operator.
CRE will charge you $12 for the comchek you used to pay for you PM.
$5 a week to administrate your insurance.
another $12 a week to get your settlement.
Multiply that by some 1500 lease ops and drivers are taking care of a whole lot of CRE internal payroll.
That's just the short list.
Oh I forgot they make over $100 per week off of you leasing the truck.
The real fun starts when you done with the lease and you done with them.
I turned in my truck with new wipers that wher put on 2 days before I turned it in. New tires 2 weeks earlier. air filters 1 month prior to turn in.
I left it without trash inside.
CRE won't let you stay while they inspect the truck, they escort you off the property as quick as possible if you are not going to work for them anymore.
Now in about 45 days you final bill comes. Keep in mind that when you lease the truck you do a detailed inspection of everything that is wrong with the truck right down to the pinstripes being slightly faded.
My bill came to $10,000. they charged me for everything that was listed on my original inspection report and then some. They charged me $1500 for new tires, they billed me for new wipers. They charged me for new floor mats which the truck never had. They even charged me $634 a week for the 5 weeks they had it at CRE before they turned it in to Frieghtliner. They even charged me for the FM radio ant. they broke and was documented that they broke.
Super Long Story short, I hired a laywer and the story changed dramatically and really quick.
Just goes to show you its there policy to try to rip off everbody because they know they hire a lot of individuals with little education and even less money, so alot won't do anything but work out a deal for the rest of thier lives, or file bancrupcy, the odds are with them so they try it everytime.:smt030
I'm and owner operator now and my truck payment on and 06 Pete is lower than my england lease was,and will will actually own the truck when I'm donewitht he bank. My insurance is less than it was at CRE. Life is much better now.
