CR England "beware"

"There's things I've asked you that you haven't answered"

Like what?

"I had to ask you twice"

OH! PLEASE FORGIVE ME.... I didn't mean to upset you, or fail to jump through your hoops. You're some anonymous guy on the internet, and I don't owe you anything... but again, please forgive me for not jumping through your hoops like a good circus poodle.

"But, you claim that you tried, you just couldn't find an attorney to take your case because of englands supposed high statute in the Mormon church which tells me A, yer full of "you know what" because any good attorney will take a case regardless of his or her religious or political stances, B, you didn't look hard enough for an attorney or C, you didn't have enough evidence in the first place to make a case even though you claim to have all the necessary documents and what not."

Yes, phone calls and emails for over a year to no avail, and yes, the Mormon faith IS that strong in its capital of SLC...

OOIDA didn't have to run around and get a Utah attorney to pursue their case because it was filed in Federal (district) court.

If you want me to jump through any more hoops, you can show some respect, or just leave me alone with your comments.

 

CRE is one of the worsed companies out there in my opinion, there training is a joke, but a joke thats unlaughable, no one with a half a brain would stay there once they found out Englands true goal, ripe off there drivers!!!

 

Ripe off?

Actually, I disagree - CRE's training, if done right AFTER the initial course, is the best in the industry when it comes to training newbies. The school itself, at least the SLC version I saw while I was there, was thorough, strong, and didn't JUST do enough to get someone a CDL, like just about every other school out there.

If a person gets a decent trainer after the school, they can do fine... problem is, good trainers are hard to find, just like with everywhere else.

 

The CRE driving school was pretty good but my phase 1 trainer just taught me to drive in a straight line. I never even practiced backing until the day he dropped me off for upgrade.

My phase 2 trainer was upset that my phase 1 trainer didn't bother to show me the fundamentals of backing. So he just did all my backing for me since he said it wasn't his job to teach me how to back.

So once I was on my own I always had to ask another driver to help me back. It wasn't until a yard dog in southern Georgia spent 15 minutes with me and showed me the pivot and how to drive with your tandems. After that it just all clicked for me.

When I am out driving today I still think back to the things I learned at the CRE school and that keeps me safe and out of trouble.

Isn't it great ... Then go over to the CR England DAC page. They're participating in a tag team on the OP, as well peacefully sharing information with each other.

Kind of a goofy job description, dont you think?

"This individual will be responsible for preventing all accidents involving driving and non-driving positions here at CR England."

This is not a job for a normal human, but someone wearing a cape, no matter what company you're talking about.

 

Ummm.... didn't they forget about the part that specifies, "Bending over and taking the ol' corporate shaft dry?"
