cre my 2 cents

i am my own boss,,, i am not an O/O,,, i am not under forced dispatch and i dont put the independant decals on the truck but i am in the phillippines on a 3 week vacation i do have 10,000 in my maintainace account and all seems to be working well,,, what company do you work for that is so good to new hires with a brain? work on my truck ? why would i ? most of the truck is covered under a 750,000 mile warrenty,, and by the way when you work on your company truck,,hmmm how much do you get paid? i work for money or i dont work ,,, its a simple concept,,,and correct me if im wrong,, the lease is under the england umbrella but if i dont buy the truck then it goes back to freightliner where it is auctioned off,,, england doesnt buy the leased trucks so how would i be making a payment for england? anyway,,, i would realy be interested in knowing what company you work for and how do they treat newbees.. P.S you said i can work on MY truck,if i choose,,, correct me if im wrong but i was directing my statement to company drivers,,, is it your truck? tc my freind its all in fun and knowledge this site is great if more england drivers would be prepared for what they are walking into then i think they would stand a better chance,,, ingat po

 

i think the key is this is where you started ,,, this is where you worked for 4 years right ? its a training company wow with 1-4 years the job offers are pritty much endless,,, now if we back up to day one who else could you have worked for besides england? the point is the good companies dont hire newbees or what ever you want to call someone starting out,,and the thing about england is its not your mom and pop shop trucking company,, they have many fasets to the company,, and they do plan on failures,, as any good company should they factor the failures and accualy profit from it,,, be it in there schools ,the tax rebates and incentives or the hotels they own ,,, they have a buisness model that is the envey of the industry,,, am i wrong? they are not public traded,they loan money to other mega carrriers ummm swift ummm warner,,,
But if the odds were truly in the drivers favor at England than why are there so many former England drivers out there? england as were talking about it is a training company,,, what companies can a wannabee truck driver go to where they will be viewed as an asset? i couldnt find one.. the odds are against you in the sence your learning a new trade and giving a company the burdon of responsability,,, some of the burdon is put off on the driver its called diversafacation i think ,,,, lifes not perfect but when i was down the opportunity was given to me ... if someone failes they have to look in the mirror and ask why and disern what the next course of action should be,,,, the buisness model is there success and faulure is there,,, so how is it the companies fault to those who fail,,,, give me one person that england would hire back and i would train them to make a profit,,, if there trainer did not train them well enough then whos to blame??? the trainer with one year experiance? or the student ?? seems to me it can go both ways but i was raised with the premise a closed mouth dont get fed and if the student didnt learn what they needed then why did they sign the lease or better yet why did they not ask for another trainer,,, because so many come to england like there going to hollywood they think they are ready as soon as they learn the backing 123 on the range,,, they dont take the time to think what they are accualy doing is learning a trade that will last them a life time and its up to them to get what they need,,, my first phase trainer started off with telling me I WILL HAVE DIAREEA OF THE MOUTH FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS BUT I WANT YOU TO ASK ME QUESTIONS ALSO ,,, and wow i did,,, i asked i practiced ,,, i sat up in the parking lot looking at others back in,,,, failure at this company can only be thrown on the ones that have failed,,, at any point in my training if i said waaaaaaaa im not getting it from this trainer,, then my training cordinator would have changed trainers,,, but it would have ment that i would have had to extend my 30 days in phase one possably,,, wow would any of the failures have accualy extended there training? i dont think so because most dont look at what it is,,, learning a new trade that is potentialy life threating and possably profitable to retirment age,,, to blame a company for failures is like asking someone to wipe your ### i think,,, you stayed there for 4 years ,,,, 2 as a company driver,,, i think you understand the premise behind the company,,, and for me to stay somewhere 4 years would have to mean i was some what grattified,,, england is a training company by at large,, and for newbees where would you have gone ? what would you have done differently? take care and cudose for staying with england for 4 years,,, your a success as far as im concerned..

 

wowzzzz what numbers arnt factual, what company do you lease with ? cre? and you tell me 10k is not possable? and recruitment bonuses? hahaha its 100 dollars and no its not worth it,,, like the man said above he would recomend company driving for 6 months,, if you think anything i said is B S then state what you think is B S..as fare as How they get the trucks is easy, they pay it off when a L/O defaults on it nope wrong son ,,, they lease it to another and another until the lease is done ,,, you think they buy it when the lease is complete? i dont think so ,, why would they ,,, can you image the prices they would get buying direct,,, ummm the rep for freightliner ( employed by freightliner) is bob england,,,
you sound so passionate in your words ,, are you talking from experiance? if so i feel sorry for anyone going to england that looses there home kids etc,,, and i see how it could happen ,,, for me i lost my house and everything b4 i went to england i was at the rock bottom of bottom,,,
would you advise anyone with a family to even get into the driving industry? my trainer drove for england for 13 years was a driver for 22 owns 5 trucks and the only thing he regretted in his life was not being there for his kids,,, and he also gave me a focus and a goal,,, my son is 1 1/2 years old,,, hes here in the phillipiines my goal is to walk him to school the first day of school ,,and as this site and others did for me i will prepare any and all for success,,, and if i ever get a man with kids and a house then i would advise company and then a dedicated or even daylight.. it wont make him rich but it would get him home,,,

let me know what numbers you dont understand and i will clarrify the best i can,,, dont forget your words ,,,,,cannot be done in the time frame given under any circumstances theoretical or realistic in the time frame given. The numbers will not crunch! The numbers of the OP are a flat out lie.

 

they prey on the innocent, naive, or desperate, they hurt them badly,,,keep the house they are worried about loosing, but add a swimming pool ,,,These people have zero conscience and dont care how many innocent kids, women and families they destroy,,,,business that vitomizes innocent people the way that CRE does ,,,If they sell there sole to the devil for a few bucks ,,, wowz again such strong words and blame goes where? well maybe i have a job for you how about selling kerbee vacums or better yet some amway,,, if you are a grown man with a family then how are you going on what another person says for the sake of your family? who is to blame ? sounds like you cant take responsability for yourself if this happened to you like this and who gambals so much when they have a family? and house payment? ####z happens in life that is out of ones control but the true man is the one to role with the punches and adapt,,, i was told its all in my control to succeed or fail,,, i also crunched numbers and lisend then made my choices,,, i dont think there is any need to blame anyone but ones self for the failure,,, a man that would risk his house and family to jump into a trade that does nothing but keep him from the house and the family well maybe he was just looking for a way out anyway ,, hmmm something to think about,,, im still waiting on what is so un-theredical with my numbers,,, who do you work for that afforded you such a good oppertunity and respects you as an asset? im curious,,,and do they hire newbees and train?
P.S if you lost everything due to working for england then the problems started b4 england and im sorry for all your losses but fundamentaly it wasnt england that took anything from you ,,, i hope things work out well for you ,,,

 

im not trying to bash you ,,, you were a team with your wife and didnt make good money ? wow i would like to know how that happened,,, thats like the perfect sinario to be a husband and wife team i think ,,, but if the primary reason was freinds going to england then i think it was an unfocused choice,,,
but,,, running soft at even 4600 a week as a team you should have had no problem clearing 1500 right ? im not being a smart aaa but i would like to know how you didnt make money as a team... this is a new one to me,,,
