Since we are on the subject England charges me about $38 a day to have a student on the truck. So basically I have to pay CRE to be a trainer.

I'm sorry, but why anyone would put up with this nonsensical, undiluted BS is beyond me. Sheer foolishness and idiocy.

My point being there are several avenues for obtaining your own insurance and because of Federal Regulations any L/O can provide their own insurance so long as it meets coverage requirements.


Citing one middle insurer to justify England's price is

 

When I was a trainer in the Western Regional fleet my DM would refer to my truck as a team truck whenever I had a student. If I couldn't keep up with the time sensitive loads he would give me solo freight.

So I would drink about 2 energy drinks and two 5 hour shots so I could drive the graveyard shift. I know that's bad but I had to do what I had to do.

A funny side note is this other driver I swapped loads with two weeks ago is going back to training students again. He bought his truck about 3 months ago and quit training because he doesn't have that variable mileage payment anymore. But every other paycheck he gets is negative. He said once his truck is paid off he is going to Landstar. We are going to take the phase 1 trainer class together.

 

They charge you to train a student.. I am in the wrong business...

 

"But every other paycheck he gets is negative."

I will never lose my motivation to copy and paste things like this... this AFTER the guy isn't paying the .14 cpm.... holy smokes.

Yeah, it's the DRIVER'S fault, right? I don't think so.

 

7 energy drinks?? Do you really think putting yours & everyone elses life in danger just so you can make a bit of $$ is worth it?? You won't be worrying about that money when you crash and either kill yourself or kill someone else and end up in the cross bar motel with bubba as a cell mate.

 

Paying for a trainee ALMOST makes sense because they generate miles and income for your truck. You'd be paying your wife or team member...

But still coming up negative boggles my mind.

 

OK, but my wife wasn't going to work for free.. and if I'm teaming with you, I don't work for free. I agree that it's weird... but CRE spreads the cost around just enough to where they don't pay much of anything.
