    I'm amazed that there is so many negative comments about CR England. I never have issues and was never pushed into the lease program nor any one I personally know has.They have always maintained a profesional atmosphere when ever I had an issue like break downs on the road or shipping and delivery schedules. The safety dept, logs, fuel, payroll are all ready to help the drivers.I can go straight to the CEO if needed because they have an "open door policy".

    LOL England Treats their employees like ####. You gotta kiss some serious ### if your with them a "few" years, why kiss it for 12cpm? the Richmond IN facility I enjoyed, as for a hand full of employees are ##### kissers. they fill you up with big promises, like Dean England family cares about you, lol they had a guy from UT come down and talk to us about how England rewarded him, that Turd was wearing $350 dress shoes, never drove a truck in his life, oh a personal favorite, "you can make 6 figures driving for us" that is impossible at England. this Kid has some serious blow-by pushed up his rear. If you can barely work for micky Ds then this place is for you.

    and why would you have any issues that would cause you to go to the ceo?How many miles do you receive a week?Are you making good money with them?If so they tell the people what your secret is to make you like and stick up for this company.Because everyone else is doing it all wrong.

    I've talked to a few that have been pushed into LP, not to mention the many accounts right here. If you're not seeing it, you're not paying attention.

    A company which uses starvation miles is not a good company. Husband's last trainee went company and is starved out unless training. He had another real good guy lease, he did not want to train and ended up with not enough miles to keep the truck going. When you know the miles are there and you aren't getting them, then you know they are starving you out. There maybe a few that stick around and they given them some miles, but I bet the percentage never adds up to how many people they run through the mill, how can they make all that government money.

    And negative number payrolls are not uncommon. Husband leased he trained and also at one time had a co-driver for a few months, we dipped into savings some weeks to pay his co-driver, he made a flat amount no matter how many miles were driven; needless to say that week there was no payroll for husband. When they were given the miles once in a blue moon, it was around 5100 miles. They ran almost non-stop, didn't go home, and kept the doors shut, delivered their loads on time and were there early most often.

    This isn't his first time around the block and I think I can say it is not the best place to go unless you can't go anywhere else. Their website attracted us to them, I did not know this website existed then unfortunately, but shiny trucks and good looks don't pay the bills if you can't get the miles.

    There's a reason why most of Dan England's kids work down the street for Uncle Jeff at Pride. They used to work for daddy but now they work for Uncle.

    Open door policy at CRE??? I got yelled at when I made a formal complaint about my Driver Manager in western regional. I talked to his boss and the next morning he (DM) called and starting yelling at me not to waste his bosses time with my complaints. He then went on to say if I don't like the way he was dispatching me to either quit or find a new fleet. So I did and moved over to the container division.
