CR England - The real story

You say that CRE trucks are bright shinny RED, i seen a white one on hiway 20 neer my home town three days ago.

 

Most company trucks are red, lease trucks are everything from black to flourescent orange.

 

cre should have pink cause there owners are a buch of crooked fairies that r only interested in money not treating people like a human instead of a machine

 

Yes, agreed, sir, but those poor drivers would have to drive pink trucks, and that's just not right.

 

Yeah dont make the drivers suffer n e more than they already do....Just paint that Porche parked in the VIP parking right when you enter the yd pink. Im sure that would make him happy. Or you would go over to Genes truck door where it says KING OF ENGLAND and put Queen of enlgand like it says on the passenger door...H ah ahah

 

id put more along the lines of greedy shelfish ####### of england on his truck and for that porche that to me is just being arogent in my eyes to flont how much money a person makes isnt really relivent when they die now is it? they sure cant use any of it in hell now. or did something change that a fairy can pay for things in hell?

 

help, thinking about driving for cr england with them training me and I will not lease. I did drive 20 years ago but let my A run out, now I have to start over again due to a job, what do you think? please help any info would be helpful

 

Training is fine, but as a company driver, you are REQUIRED to team. Teaming sucks.

 

depends on the trainer my cat first seat was an excellent trainer but my ist traineer sucked ***

 

For those that might not be aware, C R England is making some changes to their leasing policy effective September 20th, 2009.

Among these changes are as follows:
* Fuel Cap - to be eligible you must now average 5.8 paid MPG (was 5.0).
* Fuel Rebate - If you are on Rebate, the "cutoff" is now $1.44/gallon instead of the $1.35-ish it was before
* Permits/Registration/etc - All permits, registrations, IFTA, FHUT, etc are now paid by the driver on weekly payments of near $45/week
* Pay scale - ALL trips between 401 and 1000 miles now pay 90 cents per mile, rather than the tiered structure previously. Empty/Deadhead miles now pay 80 cents per mile instead of 90.

So, in my experience, my income is not only going to go down (due to lower mileage pay, since most trips are in that 401-1000 mile range) but my expenses are going to go UP at the same time (fuel ... I get around 5.6 paid MPG, permits/FHUT/IFTA etc) It is seriously going to kill their lease operators.

This news was just released to lease operators today, and they have until September 20th to either agree to the new contract terms or their Independent Contractor Operating Agreement is automatically terminated.

Needless to say, I'm now beginning to search for employment oppurtunites elsewhere, though I'm not sure how likely I will be able to find any.
