My Father in law has worked for CR England for about 20 years. He is on his 6th and he says last lease truck from them, loves them to death, would rather be in the truck then go home, but I think momma has something to do with that. He was really down about a year ago when one of his best buddies, also working for england, a driver trainer, was killed in an accident the trainee caused. From what I am told the trainee took a 15 mph exit at about 45mph. So point is I wouldnt trust teams. specially if you ever think about becoming a driver trainer. I team drive with my own brother and I still wake up off and on worried. cause he gets tired just like everyone else. As far as england as a whole goes, I never worked for them, I applied and ended up having to change my phone number cause that recruiter thought I liked being called about every hour on the hour, 24 hours a day. (not literally, but very late into the night for calls form a recruiter, like, 9-11p)that was before I met the wife and found out pops was a driver there. Now obviously, I never actually signed with them. Now, the more time I spend with the wifes family, the more I have realized their view on things is completely twacked out. And they love england. So because of that, and now, all the stories I read here, I wouldnt trust england as far as I could throw one of their trucks!

 

I know a guy who's been a company driver for England over 22 years he says England is a great company.They treat you right.Mind you he is a company driver and a good runner.He says KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT,DO NOT try to change their system and YOU'LL BE FINE.
he loves em.

 

Stay away from that lease/purchase BS. or anything like it. Unless you are a seasoned business person/ owner operator. Drive their truck and make the chitty pay, at least you will GET pay.
