CR England has 6 rollovers in less than 1 week!

WHERE'S YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR, MAN? ​

​

 

I think the england bros should be driving down the road next to one of their trucks when it rolls... On top of them.

 

Again, no real facts. Someone makes a post, He gets the lynch mob he was looking for and the OP disappears. This is about as bad as reading one of those false tabloids... and then the gossip begins.

 

I think most of us here know that England didn't roll but maybe one or two trucks this week. Probably their usual quota. Just CB chatter made up too fit the current situation is all it is.

 

I don't know why he had to make a new thread just to refer people to ANOTHER thread that he started. Go to http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...ng-company-here/149354-cr-england-beware.html and start from the beginning. There are lots of other peoples' posts about the rollovers he's referring to. And somebody provided a link to the CSA page for England's "crash indicator" . Somebody else posted his own eyewitness report to one of the rollovers.

Here is a partial screen-shot from CR England's BASIC page, showing they're over the "intervention threshold" in 3 categories, but it shows the crash data is "not public" so it's not really a smoking gun or anything. (Image should be click-able and link to the page it's from)

Probably not the indisputable proof a hired company "troll" would claim to be looking for in a PR "damage control" effort though.

 

as to where i got my start, i started by driving dump trucks local. i was pretty scared, so i took my time and learned. nobody was pressuring me, and i didn't allow anyone to. in time, i worked my way up. that was about 2 million miles ago, with no accidents. if a company is going to more or less feed off of new hires, then a serious training program has to exist. no driver with under 2 years of all weather and traffic condition experiance should ever be allowed to train. you simply can't have a driver who is still learning, train another. there also must be some sort of "train the trainer" program that a trainer should graduate from. not everyone out there is suited to train others, and mega carriers are too big to keep track. if you think it can't be done, in my opinon, schneider has come a long, long way from their past.

ignorant means you don't know. there's nothing wrong with that as long as you want to learn. stupid means you don't want to know, or simply don't care. there's alot wrong with that. in my opinion, companies like england have become hiring mills, with hundreds of turnovers a year. yeah, some stay, and yeah, some become very good drivers, but at what cost? do we count success as any day where we didn't kill someone or one of us didn't die, or, is the measure of success any day where we made money despite having killed a few people? is the pressure to move freight at any cost actually worth it? you tell me.

it's time to slow down and let the system work more like it was intended to. a new driver needs the year of training in all weather conditions before he or she is turned loose. trainers need to be carefully screened, and paid well for their efforts. in the end, the turnover rate would drop, the hiring spree would end, and the roads would be much safer. and more of you would live to see your retirement, and, have a good life doing what you wanted to do, which is what i wish for every one of you.

no load of freight is worth dying for, and no load of freight is worth murdering someone for. at least not to me. you mileage may vary.

 

So on wednesday I was in NC heading back up to NY. I got off at exit 138 on 85/40 to go to the TA to get fuel. I get up to the stop sign and start to turn left when I notice to my right a half way rolled CR England truck about 100 yards from me. It looked like the poor clueless driver turned the wrong way and tried to make a U-turn on a narrow two lane road and put the truck in a ditch. He had the whole road blocked. I tried to get a pic of it when I left the truck stop but it was to far away for my camera phone.

So anyway maybe that was one of the six. Who knows. LOL..
