A bunch of angry Swift executives quit and started their own company, also in Phoenix called Knight, only to make up and re-marry nearly 30 years later ..Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this. -

The hubris at CR England is amazing. I remember specifically a article in the industry rag meant for fleet owners where CRE bragged they only had to keep 3 replacement reefer units for 600+ reefers ready at a moment's notice.
What a waste. Those reefers do go down from time to time and they get very sick fast risking the load. And all three spares are 2000 miles away in Utah?
HA serves them right for such hubris and bragging on it. I hope they choke on that reefer set. -
Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this.

I thought 30 years ago CRE was a decent place to work , what happened to them.
Bean Jr. and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
The founders of CRE now have a vacuum where their souls used to be. The same goes for so many other heads of companies as well.
The Bible says that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven.
Back when I first attended trucking school in 1992, CRE was regarded as a premier company to work for, and, as such, the uppity ups there were said to be such salt of the earth folks that they did not take a jet to far away meetings, but rather they would take a load going in that direction.
It sounded great back then, but now I don't think that was the actual case. Probably just a trucking school directors' tall tale to entice trainees.
