    "Are you threatened by my 2.6 years of experience?"

    No, I'm not threatened by you at all. I'm very comforrtable. But I do giggle at
    your attempts at chest thumping, as if to intimidate someone. Not working, sir.

    A hundred thousand miles? That's it? Is this what you drove while driving with England? How much time did you spend there?

    Yes, 109k. 6 month demo lease, and had seen all I needed to see - I could have taken on a 24-36 month lease, while still paying the 14 cpm variable mileage charge, but that would just be stupid.

    But more importantly ronin, why don't you be the first one and tell the WHOLE story as to what really happened instead of the buttered up part that makes you look like the complete angel and England like the worse villan ever around. Tell the truth.

    If you have any info on me, please share it - otherwise, you're just running your mouth, trying to create that "reasonable doubt", with about as much credibility as Casey Anthony's lawyer.

    We ran every mile given, we had a dedicated gig for PODS, the gig itself was very cool... but we didn't make much money at all... and that part sucked. What do you want to hear?

    The part where I shared a little room with 7 other guys, 4 of which had colds or the flu during orientation?

    Or the part where you go through TSA screening just to go talk to a live person about something?

    Or the part where I felt bad for folks, and bought them food?

    Feel free to call your buddies at CRE and have them run all the settlement records on truck 92283. We worked hard. We got paid for crap. It was depressing, and a lesson learned, so we left. And... I'll continue to discourage anyone I can.

    LOL, why do i even bother? Go back up there and reread my post. No where in it does it suggest that YOU were the one I was referring to. I was taking about some of the eccentric people they stick behind that steering wheel.
    I'm not prejudiced against people down on their luck, just asking you think a little bit more about what your getting into. Don't let your thinking and decision making process be blinded by fact that you need money because people who think like that are usually the ones that come on here starting the "i hate england" threads or the "England screwed me in some way" threads. Get the picture?
    Oh, I put plenty of thought into my posts. Why dont yo read more carefully before posting?
    yep, just like they own the police and dot huh?

    Of course, it really doesn't take a rocket scientist with a slide-rule to figure it out.

    They ARE self-insured, as are many large companies, and that is why they can cover their losses. That's not abnormal in today's business world.

    Has nothing to do with DOT... but many people ask "why do they still get insurance after all of these accidents".... easy, when you're printing the paper, it isn't like you have to get "cleared", as if you were an individual applying at GEICO.

    Cornelius, I really like how you separate your quoted sections... I've seen that done here before, but never took the time to figure it out.

    I need to check that out, looks cool, and ALMOST adds credibility to an argument, but not quite.

    Corneilus..7 rollovers is alot..Have not been driving long but that many rollovers in 1-2 weeks is incredible.Maybe its not the companys fault but with all the storys I hear and these numbers my opinion is it is indeed CRE that needs to be shut down and reviewed.I agree no company is perfect but they do have control over their hiring of drivers and training.To hear that drivers are losing their lives and possibly the lives of others is unexceptable,and should be to you too...

    It is cool ain't it! And it does lend a certain air of credibility. And Mr. Cornelius, immeadiatly after your post concerning golf cart driving abilities you addressed me saying I seemed like "one of those people" I could only assume you were refering to me. However I have learned what happens when you assume. But it's ok man don't have a coronary breathe driver, breathe.:biggrin_2559:

    It is CR England's fault for training and hiring him as a trainer? It is CR Englands fault for giving him the opportunity? CR England held a gun to his head and told him he was going to train other drivers or else?
