CR England, it was worth it

Why do they need armed security guards, and metal detectors at their offices?

Is that any way to greet all these "happy" CRE drivers?

 

I've talked to a fellow Marten driver that did CR England for a while. He said you can do company driver instead of leasing. He said his experience wasn't horrible, but he couldn't stay.

 

Right now they are offering only a six month contract schooling contract?
And you go a dedicated route before? Finishing your phase 2 training?
Why did all the other people decide to leave?

 

Old Driver here, CR has wonderful trucks for beginers. I cried & wined about them turning a truck over to a green student and sending him where is snows, A lot. After 2 months, they make him a "Trainer". I Pray they have changed their ways!

 

I didn't sign a contract with them nor did I owe them for school about 5 years ago I worked for swift for a month, I got my CDL thru swift I only did a few days refresher then phase 1 and 2.

 

I see local day cabs for CRE in Casa Grande a lot. Try to get into that local fleet, probably out of phoenix.

A student I trained in July/August just got a regional company position with England. He is currently working on getting his hazmat so he can get into the intermodal local fleet.

 

That's if you lease a Truck for 6 Months...Then they will put you on...I know a Driver that just finished a 6 month with CR and after the, 6 he gave them the Truck back and now He is with someone else...

 

for goodness sakes do not train just drive and learn and don't lease

 

Ah, my position is company driver only, in fact the bulk of thier dedicated routes are company only, I know I seen a few lease people on a container route, but leasing from England, be it the six month demo lease or the "full" two year lease seems like a very bad idea.

 

Real BAD....Thank you. The guy that just did that,,,said he stayed in the hole....No Money...But he had a Truck......lol
