    With CR England you can make those miles when you lease, but if you're getting that miles its with a 2nd seat driver. At the most I got with them, and that was with a good driver manager, I got 2800 solo and 4000+ with a 2nd seat driver.

    Lets just say this, if you want to make money with CR England, become a trainer. My trainer showed me his W-2's, he made over 200,000 take home, and over 500,000 with taxes. That is about the only way to make money with CRE is to train, either that and team and be lucky to make 1,000+ a week.

    When I was running with my trainer we easily saw around 4500 miles per week. He was very grateful for my help, and kept promising a steak dinner (lol never happened). I still have those logs if you want me to post the miles done.

    but with cr you cant log it at 60 mph must be loged at 57mph which equals out to 528 miles not 660 i found that out the hard way not to sound rude i left cr england to be with may family with a local company and now that i look back at it cr england did me one good thing and that is giveme the experiance but for my family is make us closer than any one can even imagine but i now see way people told me that if ta man or woman has a young family dont drive over the road it took me to see my 5 year old being depressed while i was gone and if you say that a five year old child does not get depressed i can prove you wrong and ill call you a ####### liar

    Yup, driving for ANY company will usually forgo the homelife. Family or not.

    "Free", yes, they license it for free....like I'd have the money to pay THAT fee...

    By the way, the maintenance deduction is .07, not .12. Big whoop, you made another $135.

    Could someone please explain to me how anyone could look at these numbers and decide yeah,that's for me.
    You could be driving for A company out there paying somewhere between .40-.43cpm and make twice that.Oh wait...it wouldn't be "YOUR TRUCK".Ok, nevermind ,now I get it.

    OK people could it be that CRE is calling you back because they "KNOW" YOU ARE DESPERATE? Also everytime one of you hire on another person quits. There is a reason they dont pay, they know that they can make a lot of money by hiring people no one else wants. Come on even one guy says he would work for free. Hey man where is your dignity. Even if you have to move from where you live there's companies still hiring. Dont just take my word for it just dont stop looking and DONT WORK FOR FREE.

    I can drive 3900 miles in a six day work week with no problem. 3900/6=650/60=10.83 well for DOT standards 11 hours with three hours to play with each day. You also have to take into account that S/R could care less about hours so if you cant play with you log your company doesnt care about your money or family either. I mean isnt this why we do what we do? To make money and take care of our families.

    You know, it's stuff like this that makes me turn off my radio - always some know-it-all or "I told you so" chirping in.

    "Could someone please explain to me how anyone could look at these numbers and decide yeah,that's for me.
    You could be driving for A company out there paying somewhere between .40-.43cpm and make twice that.Oh wait...it wouldn't be "YOUR TRUCK".Ok, nevermind ,now I get it."

    Do you REALLY think that if I would have known I'd be netting 17-18 cpm that I would have gone this way?

    Ever made a mistake? Was some smart-aleck there to laugh at you and talk trash? Made you mad, didn't it?

    Sure, I made a mistake, but I also would have never thought one of my best friends would be so far off on his math..he went over his numbers with me, and turns out, he needs to go back to the third grade and do basic math again.

    My plan, after my wife decided she didn't want to team..we were with Southern Cal, was to train my son. After seeing the true settlements and the attitudes of the folks who are allegedly in "support" of you as an independent contractor, I flagged him off immediately.

    I realize we all have the freedom of speech...but a wise man told me that if your freedom of speech is the only factor to defend what you're saying, then what you're saying isn't worth much.

    How about a little less smart-aleck and I told you so, and how about making some suggestions?
