CR England, bed bugs

Are CR England students considered employees at least part-way through training or does that happen once they get their own trucks? If they are employees, they could file a complaint not only with the health department, but potentially with OSHA. The reason these things aren't being taken care of is CR England gambles on the assumption that students are desperate enough not to say anything or they don't know any better.

 

Doubt OSHA will take action unless hundreds complain.After all they're just trk drivers let em suffer.Thats how we as drivers are treated from companies like England and flea bag motels ect.

 

Absolutely, and i hope you dont think i am slamming you--its just that your timing couldn't be more perfect. The other poster i was talking about just a couple of days ago said very similar things but much much worse --so maybe i am lumping you in with he/she because of the similarity.
If i can find the posting i will stick it in here if i can --and you will see why i am skeptical.
After all, if i or you or everyone in this forum believed every word that was typed in this forum there wouldn't be one single person on here trucking or vise versa everyone would be making $100,000 dollars a year.

 

OSHA will go after big companies, though. I worked for a large HMO healthcare provider back in 2007 and OSHA nailed them for several thousand in fines for neglecting proper sharps storage and disposal procedures at nursing stations. Sharps aren't even supposed to be at nursing stations unless there is a sterile and secure point of containment for the unused sharps and there's a sharps disposal box right there. The only place those were located were in the exam and procedure rooms. Patient rooms didn't have them either.

That's one thing my uncle and several posters on here have warned me about. Never sign onto a lease until you've been in the industry a while. My personal time frame is two years. If I'm still doing well and I'm comfortable enough to handle it, I'll head that route. It'll be with a reputable company though. I need more than a dream and a sales pitch to make that jump.

I also want to understand how to work load boards if I want to go fully independent.

 

Just think how good this industry would be if everyone had the same views as you and thauser have.Would'nt be companies like England taking advantage of the newbies.But they're big boys and girls,noone should have to hold their hand for choices they make.
