BEWARE of CR England!

Thought they called it "safety orange" ... like the highway cones ...

 

Thanks for the updates, and good to hear things are getting better and better.

Can you post a few details? Like how much is the total $$s, how long to repay? Interest rate?, etc? If you don’t want to put that info for the whole world to see, a PM works for me.

I’d also like to know what happened to the ‘lease’ but I hate to open that can-o-worms.

Thanks again

 

hope you got that part in writing

 

Legally, CRE counts it as a rental now, not a true lease. So, yes, he can back out at any time. It should be noted somewhere in the contract.

 

My husband had almost the same experience. His leased truck broke down on day 2, he was under a load. England sent another truck to finish his load, he sat with the truck for a full day while it was repaired. When the truck was fixed he notified dispatch and they never responded. He sat and waited for 2 days, sending messages that he was ready for a load and did not receive a single reply. We decided they were not going to send him a load and he should come home. We parked the truck in a secure lot and he got another job. Every day for 3 weeks we checked to see if there was a message from dispatch, nothing! The truck sat there for 5 weeks and the only contact we have had with C.R. England since was a bill for items purchased at a truck stop in Arkansas. My husband was never in Arkansas with their truck!

 

Lol! I totally believe that! I did one month with Werner back in 2000. My current employer saw that, and laughed it off. Told me not to worry about, then hired me. Been the best job I've ever had too.

Ibeck, I wouldn't worry about CRE. Any GOOD trucking company will blow off CRE. Just make sure your hubby doesn't job hop, and you'll be fine. And hubby sounds like a hard worker who doesn't expect much but a fair days pay for a fair days work. I think you two will be fine.

 

True story: I witnessed two accidents within 12 hours in MO last year. Both trucks were CRE.

 

Funny thing today, I got two job offers even though I was worried because Pride put abandonment on my DAC. Got told at both places it wasn't a problem because they don't pay any attention to anything from a company owned by the Moyes or the Englands. Just too funny.
