Questions about Crengland and Truck driving

Yeah i was never going to lease a truck that id never own much less going into a business i know nothing about. But i am listening to all the drivers and appreciate the insight. I was kind of going to push myself to join Cr right after the semester ended but now I'm thinking about just waiting until July when all my tickets are over 3 years old to get into a better company sponsored school or go with one of the programs the TWC sponsors i hear those are pretty good

 

Honestly, i really dont think trucking is what youre expecting. I believe roehl prime or maverick have decent programs to get you a cdl tho. If you can get a load for a 3 to 5 week school tho, you could make fast money teaming, butbits hard work. You trade your life away for that check, but you can earn over a grand a week if u get a half decent partner and dispatcher.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about work history considering you were in school. Swift, US Xpress, even Werner would be a step up from CR England. Again, please do not go to CR England!!!!! You will be sorry.

This. US Xpress is a good outfit for teams based on what I have heard.

 

who was speeding, txdps are great people, never once had a problem with them, follow the rules, they're in black and white

 

I was speeding 2-5 miles over the limit, even the judge said it was ridiculous and dismissed the ticket pending me doing a defensive driving course.

 

Ok thanks a lot i talked to Maverick and they said they do not have a cdl training program but once i do get my CDL with CR that they could hire me!

 

What other companies have you talked to besides Maverick and CRE?

 

I see a lot of good advice about CRE .
1. Stay away .
2. Stay far away .
3. And I think someone said run the other way .

Thats about all I got . Lol

 

My name is Suzanne and I work in the Driver Advocates Department at C.R. England. I would like to shed some light on a few topics that have been mentioned here. I encourage anyone to contact me directly if you have any questions. You can send me an email to driveradvocates@crengland.com. You can also find more information about C.R. England at our website www.crengland.com.

Most importantly, C.R. England values our drivers. Our number one priority is creating a company where professional drivers turn for a world-class career. We are constantly looking for ways to improve and we encourage drivers to reach out to us with their feedback. We have thousands of successful drivers who have made a career for themselves at C.R. England for which we are grateful.

We are proud of the fact that we offer an opportunity for a solid career path in the trucking industry to individuals who have no experience, no training, and no ability to pay for tuition to earn a CDL. We offer Regional, Dedicated, Intermodal, and over the road positions. We also offer freight for independent contractors. We provide these options in the hope that our drivers will select the career path that works best for them. We understand the hard work it takes to complete schooling and over the road training to eventually become a successful professional driver. While it is true that not every individual succeeds in this pursuit, we take every step possible to provide a career opportunity for our drivers who dedicate themselves and work hard.

 

So tell me this Suzanne,why the huge turnover rate?Why are so many leasing only to fail?What sales pitch are you using?Is it true if someone don't lease they are told a company truck wont be available for weeks and /or months?Is that how u get so many to lease?Far as your website goes,its not any different then any other website,glamour it up but is everything 100%true I wonder.
