CR England = dirt bags

Im just floored at the amount of smashem up derby that goes on ..
You drive umpteen hrs. a day,and you wanna close it out by playing
monster truck??
Take the time,
go ahead and get out,
let em laugh,
go to sleep,and still have a
job the following day.
What a concept

 

Well since you didn't get the truck number, which I can fully understand as I am largely useless at remembering fine details when I am first awakened, there's no way CR England is going to admit fault. They don't want to pay the damages to your truck, even though they can directly place their truck (within 5') to the scene of the accident at the time of the accident. But I'll bet that driver will be out of work when his company catches up with him. Undoubtably the trailer will have damage, and since you and your company called CRE, they will cover their tailfeathers by dumping the driver as quick as they can, while refusing responsibility.

Sorry it happened to ya, driver. And there doesn't appear to be a single thing you can do about it. I just hope your company doesn't decide to rack it up as a preventably on your record and toss you to the curb, too.

 

Of course they could tell what trucks are in the area. That ,right not solve it but they could try. I promise I haven't tried to park at fj in memphis
I always wonder what the stories are for all of the damage is on he trailers I pick up.

 

As much as I would love to rag on England most companies are gonna do as much as they can to deny responsibility, and as far as trailer damage unless it is severe no one really cares it seems. Unless his truck got damaged too I doubt he will even be fired.

I have had my mirrors bit many times at truckstops I am lucky no one has hit my truck itself, one of the reasons I park as far away as possible and put the reefer on continuous mode.

 

All England trailers have damage, its the norm. A trailer # woukd have been perfect since CRE always knows who's attached to what trailer through sensor tracs.

 

The only accident I ever had was when I was sitting waiting for a reload and an England driver didn't set his parking brake.

 

Depends actually, none of the 48 ft trailers, nor the Great Dane 53s that I pull have them, 18xxx-21xxx certainly do, but all of the 448xxx-648xxx or the 966xxx don't have them. Nor do the plm lease trailers have them, though I am not sure how many accounts use those.

I remember seeing a stat that only something like 60% of the trailers England has, are actually covered by TrailerTracs, and of those I have my doubts on how many actually work, since whenever I get a trailer with one my QC constantly tells me it disconnects.

 

True
That is always fun

 

cr england, swift covenant, national...... they are all sh+++ty companies. Turnover rates are the biggest indicator of a company's worth. High turnover=bad company. I won't even talk to a company running triple digit turnover.

 

I learned years ago to immediately start rolling pictures and video. I had a Wiley Sanders truck repeatedly back into me at pilot in Valdosta, GA. One hand was on the air horn and another was on my phone recording the whole time including trailer number and trailer tag. When you get out roll the video the whole time until its over. It may be a longggggg video full of useless jibber jabber but Atleast you'll have video of everything that happened during the incident
