CR England - The real story

ronin i will admit yes you r right the short runs do lead into the longer runs on time or even to drop early is better only 1 late load i had but to answer your question about when i started and ended was the end of march to the end of middle of september due to a disagreement between me and my dm over hometime of my second child i believe that every person know matter who it is has the right to see there families but they need to work to support there families.There is one thing about cr england i will admit i got the miles to support my family it was my dm in my eyes who i believe who ruined both the job i liked to do and the the only job that paid me to see the country and get paid to do that. so yes maybe i do owe them some respect but just rember respect does go to ways i do wish all lease drivers the best of luck.

 

So, I had filled out an application to CR England just to get some information on what to expect or even if I was qualified. I had a five minute conversation with a recruiter and I was on the list to join their team or enrolled in their school. I was interested in talking to someone about the field and to get questions answered. I am very interest in becoming a truck driver but I wasn't even interviewed or anything. To me this doesn't speak much for the company and of course because I have a head on my shoulders, I am going to wait because I currently have a job but will continue to study and work torward the permit test just to have the ball rolling.

 

Crusher, as far as training and initial experience, CRE isn't a bad place. The main complaint I hear is that the "Phase 2" period is now 60 days. So, you have a 2 week school, at least 30 days with a Phase 1 trainer, some down time, at least 60 days with a Phase 2 trainer, who rarely has much more experience than you do...some down time, and then you have to team (unless you lease) for a year before you can go solo (as a company driver).

The school and initial training is seriously by-the-book, and it's the only place in the nation that I know of that will take a student and let you roll down a major hill using the jake - most schools just teach straight line backing, parallel parking, and basic driving.

After the training period, I'd run like hell.

 

It wasn't me - the other gentleman talked about all of that, not me. Thanks, anyway.

Actually, sir, I have a Master's in Education (M.Ed.) from the University of Maryland. Not that it matters so much, just that your statement is incorrect, since my degree specializes in curriculum development.

 

I'll convert over to company driver when this demo lease is done in August. And get a nice raise, and not worry about idling the truck.
