    If you want to work for free and no home time go head drive for them. I drove 2800 miles aweek for them as a lease operator and still behind. Especially if you request a road service or go home you are done. You followed their route they gave you but you still have to pay your own tolls and scale tickets. Everyone of their staffs is very mean. Work for Roehl Transport.

    Well practically I believe the only reason England is still in business is due to still being able to con people into their one sided so called lease deal which are basically nothing but a truck rental from them so that the driver essentially is paying england's business expenses for them. England could care less if the drivers lost everything they owned as long as they made $$ off the driver.

    Fact be known they likely make more $ off all their TRUCKING related biz ventures
    Load brokerage , cold storage , Mexico , Refrigerated intermodal , than they do off the actual trucking ( con job on lease deals ).

    They are making at least some $$ on those lease deals. You got to figure they have all those trucks and no expense basically with them.

    How do you figure basically NO exspense , they bought or at least Leased them from Freightliner . Volvo , International , Peterbilt did not get them for free.

    They pay the fuel , maint , insurance , when they are sitting around before or between leasing them out.

    Maybe so-but they still make a killing off selling/leasing the same POS several times. NO different than a tote the note car dealer. But as long as it's legal and the suckers keep watching/listening to their honey dripper ads they will go on.

    They dupe new drivers into being leasing and taking a loan to drive for them... and then you starve on the road.

    Don't fall for it.

    I wish I wouldn't have been too terrified to hop right in. I'm going company and they are trying to get me to team.. I don't want to.

    I've been reading all these reviews AFTER I went to school with them and I am TERRIFIED. Now I'm hearing that, after looking at their website and talking to a recruiter, that they DO NOT have company solo positions..

    I'm going to be homeless. Great.
