Question for CR England drivers

You better do some research before you sign with CR England.

 

+1...agreed.

 

To answer your question: AM/FM +CD, unless they still have some ridiculously ancient truck with a cassette deck. Everything else is up to you.

 

I believe you might want to adjust your expectations just a bit. They will provide you with a truck, all the other stuff is up to you. You will get the truck, there will be mattresses on the bunk, and you will have the AM/FM radio, either cassette or CD. While I have worked for companies that gave you more than that, they were the exception.

 

Dont there trucks have that "bend over bar" in the sleeper ?

 

You got it all wrong, the bend over bar is at the terminal......

 

Actually, they hang the spare rack on the frame for that purpose.

If you're going to take it, you might as well really take it, right?






Sorry, I couldn't resist.

 

Sounds like you're getting a little ahead of your self. 1st you may get there and see what most do that they are a bunch of cheese eating rats who could give a rip about you. But that said, worry about getting your CDL and learning as much as possible from any good instructors you might run into there. The electronics are the least of you worries both before and after. They are nice and can save you time, but there is so much more to being a trucker than driving and blabbing on the cb. Your time management, trip planning, driving habits will determine whether or not you survive. Also your dispostion is huge. You are going to get screwed from time to time no matter who you drive for. That goes for OOps even more. You are going to have breakdowns, traffic and other things that will kill the best laid plans. You can go ballistic{which I have done on occasion} or you can take a deep breath and work out a solution to problem at hand. I don't like CRE or their treatment of drivers. But I wish you good luck where ever you go.
