i hate typing but here goes...
back in june of 2009,i found myself laid off from the fire department after 14 yrs of loyal service.i tried diligently to find work but to avail,couldnt.a friend of the family suggested trucking.i did a search and found several companies but noticed it was expensive as hell.cre was the only company willing to take me right out.i mean i was excited as all get out.now,dont get me wrong i have done some stupid crap in my life like not coming here b4 i did that.i feel as if i could shoot myself reading this after the fact.i went out to dallas,hotel sucked and being dead broke didnt help.met some folks from ga so it was kinda ok.i wasnt really expecting anything but quickly noticed how england does things.every week they would go to the texas dps to get licenses but somehow the three weeks i observed that ,they couldnever get it right.after completing everything which in fact wasnt hard as i thought it would be i waited three weeks for my phase one guy.me and this guy got along great.he hated days and i hated nights so we ran gud.altho i was making maybe 200-300 after taxes,he helped me out a lot.that 30 days went by fast,so i thought i was gonna luv dis company.well then i sat in texas for three more weeks,no money waiting on my phase two guy.lets just say communication is not one of englands strong points.this wad shows up from ga,im ecstatic cuz i cant believe how lucky i am to get a guy from my home state.my home time will triple as i hadnt been home since june.WRONG!!!!!in three weeks all we did was not shower barely eat and me the rookie do all the driving.while he played xbox and slept.the best thing out of that three weeks was the visits to boystown.for those of u who know......anyhow,after no showers cuz of his poor trip planning and my temp paper texas license was to expire and him showing no interest of going home or helping me get there,altho we lived 20 mins from each other,when we got routed back thru texas,i hopped off to get my license extended and get home.sat another week,no money all dat.the next and worse ######## of them all shows up.this guy could not drive and coming from a rookie that says a lot.he said u never ever use the clutch in the truck.well he was in a century and i trained on a century.and i could think of at least two times u needed to us the clutch he argued me down and the end result was us stalling at eevery single time we stopped.he couldnt float nor double clutch.bt loved the mountains and grades.needless to say we didnt last a week.after waking up one night while in pa,it was snowing like crazy and the roads were icy.this guy was outta gear...couldnt find it??
and flying down a icy grade.needless the very next day i was on the phone wit england to get off his truck.i mean i had some crap going on back home that required my attention anyhow so i asked if we could be routed thru ga or close,and mind license still hadnt been picked up.england was no help.that same night me and the ### got into big time in w.v at a pilot .i was left in the middle of nowhere.anout to go home best way i could and england said we will put you in a hotel on us for the weekend until we figure sum stuff out for the following week.i shouldve went the hell home.some random trucker came and got me and another dude who was also stranded from cre,RED FLAG!!!!!anywho we go off to indiana.where i was going to finally get my truck.i wasnt there for two days b4 i realized these clowns had taken the almost 400 bucks from me for that weekend.it took them three weeks to get my money back to me.all that time sittin,no money waiting on a truck,wit about 40 othas.well the moment came,and it was deja-vu all ova again,for those who know,the school tuition contract along wit anything u sign cant be faxed or reviewed by anyone b4 u sign it.i leased a 2009 black international prostar,black beauty 93612.not a mormal england spec truck.13-speed,slideable 5th whell the works.fast forward to today $6,000 and counting in the hole and just found out they termed me???idk y but i have three attorneys working on my behalf.
SUM-UP:listen to me and these guys on this board.this many people having the same experiences with this and other companies is not just happening.it is real and be forewarned stay the hell away from cre.mind u there r sum guys who make gud money wit them i know a few.but they have no life.and r miserable 90% of the time.all comments and opinions r welcomed cuz i know there will be a few who will defend cre!!!!!!Be safe and have a happy holiday!!!!!!!![]()
i kno u r tired of dis......

First off, thank you for your public service as a fire fighter. Those silly rascals over at CR England are something else. Every time I read someones horror story I find myself wondering why they subjected themselves to the tragedy that is CR England. Then I read the part where they say "dang I wish I new of this message board before CR England ruined me" Thousands have come before you and thousands will come after you but were doing our part here to save a few souls.
Life is all about getting up, brushing yourself off, and being richer for the experience but CR England makes sure your not richer when they are done with you. It says alot about a company when the question "You ever worked for them to know so much about them ?" does not apply. You don't have to experience them to know, just read.iwishihadvefoundthisboard Thanks this. -
thanx dna.i miss bein a firemedic more than anything and hate they laid so many of us off.but i would rather go into a building buttnaked,fully involved structure with no pac then to ever go back to cre or wish that on anybody.apparently,now im bein slapped with abandonment,altho the truck was not driveable from an accident in ohio,sum ####wad broadsided me (sum foreign clown,no license or ins)and sum service related issues like no air staying in tanks.ive been down for a month now tryna get the truck back up and runnin,but they said i was refusing to run??
but they had no laner trucks??
so it might b a blessing in disguise but im glad im gone.just gotta take em to court now......how do i go about or shall i say wats the best way to fight wats for sure coming to my d.a.c???

When you have the blind training the blind it does get me worried as a trucker. -You should be happy you escaped CRE-Fleece.
I honestly can say I cannot "afford" to work for a fleece company like CRE. -And I know many truckers can't either.
-That's why many of these fleece jokers start training after only a few months = only way they can make any money with CRE. -
My only question is, what fire department did you work for? I have my reasons for asking. Thanks.
Drive safe -
