If you want to be flown home in a box I guess they will do that. The could care less for their drivers and have disrespect for the family of the driver that died. The site wont allow me to put into words how I really feel about England

You've got to be kidding....

Regardless of the business relationship, and the way it is set up, you are not going to change the truth of the matter. England is one of the WORST prospects when it comes to trucking, and that's all there is to it.

The program is set up like all the others, in that unless you never want to see your home, you'll never make a profit worth speaking of.

Please....sell that line of stuff where it will be received....like Fantasyland.

"A sister company"....so what? That's a defense?

They push the lease so much. They talk about in the school portion. They tell you you will make $.90 a mile minus .14 in variable mileage .07 in maintainance .025 for hwy use tax. Thats .665 a mile. It take at least .5 just to run the truck down the road. $500 a week tk payment $125 insurance $35 for this a few more things I forgot everything since I was there. But I can tell you this. It takes 2000 miles Just to make a buck then ycan only avg about 3000-3300 miles a week solo. "Oh but but I can get that variable mileage. Even if you maximize your possibility to get them off. It would take 3 yrs to get them taken off.

TALK TO AN INSTRUCTOR. ASK THEM IF THEY WOULD EVER DRIVE FOR CRE. If they cant look you in the eye and say yes with affirmation. Don't do it. Jim is the most honest guy in there.

It's interesting reading about the C.R. England on these message boards. You all have it entirely wrong. Leasing a truck means independence from the hassles of being obligaged to a company. C.R. England does not lease trucks. A sister company, Opportunity Leasing, is the company that leases trucks for England. As a seperate company, England provides services and opportunities for the business owner looking to prosper their business. If you are not business savy, obiviously, leasing through ANY company wouldn't be reccommended. If you can't take the heat... you know how it goes. England's turnover has DECREASED dramatically since the inication of these new programs. Putting the responsibility of running your own business, brilliantly in the hands of the business owner. If you want to be babied and have your hand held maybe this isn't the program for you. If you are serious about making a difference in your life beginning with your income levels, come check it out. Don't talk to people who have dropped out and can't "handle" running their own show, talk to the successful drivers who are living a higher lifestyle because of their prosperity as independent contractors. It's an easy choice.

WTH? You're the type of person that makes me doubt humanity deserves to exist.

Covenant is not a bad company for starting out, although you might also want to try us xpress as well. Ft England and swift are for sure the worst companies

Turbo trucker is right. I was a lease operator for cre for 2.5 yrs. I was successful but only because I didn't go home. If your single and don't care if your out 3 plus months at a time you can make it. But if you want to go home even every 6 weeks you will most likely fail. If you can stick with being out 3 to 6 months and then taking 3 or 4 days off it might work. I have a friend still their in a company position that is only getting 1800 to 2000 mi a week.

Why don't you fellows just open a window and throw that $1500. out. Better yet send it to me. You will be lucky to get $100. worth of REAL training with C R England. You will get a piece of paper saying you are licensed to drive a truck, but who do you think is going to hire you but CRE? Schneider may not pay the best, but you will learn how to operate a large truck properly so you don't kill yourself or someone else. There are a lot of other real carriers like Roehl, Millis, TMC etc who are a thousand times better than CR England. They are a disgrace not only to the trucking industry but to America.

Haha!

This is the concept of all driving schools. All driving schools care about is that you get your CDL. Your real training doesn't start until you have a CDL in your hand and you're in a trainers truck.

CDL school = 3 weeks

Phase I and Phase II training at CRE = 3 months

Get your facts straight before posting BS.
