Stay away from cr england!!!!

read on another thread that CR England has a truck recovery division. Why would such an honest company need a division like this?

 

Well, if disgruntled drivers would turn their trucks in, oh, I dunno, maybe the proper way, CRE wouldn't need to pay people to go after abandoned trucks.

 

No, I meant exactly what I "said".

Don't take things so literal.

Actually, I would, if it were perhaps possible on your part but let's face it.... This ain't the first time you've proven that most times your comments are those that one could really do without.

I understand a lot of things. Don't blame me for your false accusations.

Yep, just keep on proving my point.

Keep digging that hole a little deeper.

Anyone could very easily call BS on what you just said and call you an idiot but you don't care, do ya. If You did, you wouldn't have spouted off such a bold face lie.

Yep, that about sums YOU up, don't it?

 

Well if they paid their drivers enough to keep the trucks running maybe drivers wouldn't leave them sitting.

 

LOL......

So, for the sake of argument, two wrongs make a right???

Explain that one for me.

 

No, two wrongs do not make a right, but if you don't have enough money in the bank to put fuel in the #### thing and if you can't move the situation is only going to get worse what exactly are you supposed to do?

I guarantee if you are ever subjected to the treatment everyone on here is talking about, you'll be gone in a heartbeat.

 

You really should talk to CRE about becoming a recruiter. You've already mastered the company line and I guarantee you'd make a lot more than you are as a driver.

 

Why are/were you using anything other than your Comdata fuel card to buy fuel?

And you would be correct, I would. But, that hasn't happened. So far, everything has been going the way it has supposed to.

I'm not suggesting you did opposite of this but we make sure our loads are on time. We don't turn down loads. We try to help out with repowers. We're not having accidents, or getting violations on the truck, ourselves or on our logs. We're not spending a lot of time on hometime. We don't have freight claims that are our fault.

 

Why is it that because someone got screwed they had to being doing something wrong.

I was only late on one load and that was because a Knight truck hit my trailer in line at a fuel island. I could have been on time, but my DM had me come into the Mira Loma yard because i was close and the mechanic couldn't fix it and wouldn't let me leave with it broken.

I never turned down anything, even when it meant going to Laredo 3 times a week.

I always took repowers, even when it was detrimental to me and I always did it willingly.

I had zero accidents, zero log violations, and one freight claim that stemmed from my reefer breaking down in the middle of Texas in August.

Oh and BTW, in 6 months, I had 1 day of actual hometime. That was Christmas day. I got in at 9pm the 24th and was back on the road by noon the 26th. Every other time I would come through the Mira Loma terminal, my wife would meet me there and I'd get to see her and my son for maybe an hour... in my truck, with my student present.

I followed their little guide book to the letter. Never complained, kept good and constant contact with my DM, took every B.S. load I was given, never went home and pinched pennies so tightly I was s###ing copper plates. No one there had any respect for me. To them I was an expendable asset. It didn't matter if I quit because there were 10 drivers just like me waiting to take my truck.

Like I said before, Im glad you haven't experienced the dark side of CRE, but don't think for a second that just because you haven't seen it means it doesn't exist.

Keep the shiny side up and I wish you the best of luck

 

Well, it's not that something has to go wrong like what I mentioned in order to get screwed, but you'd be surprised how many people probly make matters worse for themselves by doing those things.

Ok so, then what went wrong, if you don't mind me asking? You were training so you got paid for your students' miles. If you were a solo, well, that would kind of be self-explanatory.

Well, in a way, you are. Everybody is to a certain extent. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever worked at a place that treated me with the upmost respect in the same manner as friends or family. I dunno, maybe that's were you and me differ. I don't go to work to make friends. I go to make money.

That's the name of the game. They are a business. There will always be someone to lease that truck.

I appreciate the gesture, but we're not talking about ghosts, goblins and UFO's. I'm sure some of these claims probably hold a great deal of truth but the problem is, on this forum that is, you very rarely hear both sides of the story. 90 percent of all the negative posts I've read on here all have one thing in common.... The poster makes them-self out to be the victim who did nothing wrong and that CRE was nothing more than the devil to them. Well, there's always two sides to a story and until one hears both, it's hard to make an accurate decision on what to make of it.

Yes, there's waaaaaaaay more negative on here than there is positive. Why? I don't really know. Maybe a lot of it has to do with the fact that when someone does come in here with positive things to say, they get ripped on like how I did earlier. It's OK, it's not the first time and it almost certainly won't be the last.

That's the plan, thanks.
