CR England or CRST?

Neither. Im in the same predicament as you are. Im looking at Trucking companies to get cdl training. Here's my list
Swift
Schneider
Roehl
Mast(Ohio resident only) (Reefer company)
Maverick(Flatbed Company)
TMC(Flatbed)
Melton ((Flatbed)
Prime
Im looking at Mast because I'm in Ohio. But I'm also looking at Schneider because of their reputation. And Maverick, TMC and Melton is also on my list because I want to drive flatbeds.
Do your research on the few I mentioned and you wouldn't even be thinking about CRST or C.R. England. I'm thinking of training with Mast because you're an employee from day 1 of training and I'm in Ohio, do my 1year then apply with Maverick because I'm moving to Memphis next year and their located in Arkansas which borders Tennessee. Good luck

 

Melton doesn't have a cdl school. Good outfit though for new grads.

From that list, I'd put Wilson Logistics, Prime, Maverick, TMC, KLLM at the top, then use the others as backup plan.
