From some friends that work in the industry and an uncle of mine as well as a few people on here actually. I know they are few and far between but I was just hoping for a few more positives than negatives to balance it out and ease my anxiety about getting on with C.R. England in the first place. The way that I see it... I used to work for Walmart and tons and tons of people have had complaits out the wazoo about them and their employment practices. I am not saying that they are the best company but I actually enjoyed working for them overall and tried to keep a positive attitude while I did work there. I think that is why I lasted as long as I did there. But I do not believe everything the recruiters tell me either.
Thank you for your feedback
I also thank Ledbetter for his feedback as well and I plan on being a company driver to get some experience under my belt and then if I like the company I will stay... if not then I will get on with the company that my uncle drives for Crete Carriers where they arent all teams and lease ops..you can do solo there. -
If it was me I would go with your uncles co and save yourself the grief. You let CRE ding your DAC and you may never find a driving gig again.
-
I don't have much choice. I don't have my cdl and they offer a good truck driver school and finance it through your paycheck and Crete won't take you unless you are 22 years old and have at least 6 months experience and they dont have a school so this seems to be my only option to break into the trucking industry.
-
There is always choices. Just sometimes we don't want to wait on the right ones. Why go into something like CRE when they have a history of destroying peoples options in the near future? Very good chance that they are going to get you under the thumb. You might leave there owing a lot of money for your "free school" or even worse a failed lease that they got you in.
Heck I don't think much of prime, but they are in your hometown and would be much better than CRE. -
There are other companies that have cdl school. I got my cdl from a private school. When I looked at CR England they expected my to pay them almost $1000 to take me on as a driver to go with a trainer. That is ridiguloius.

I always was told that prime was much worse than cr england. Ive heard bad stories on both of them. And I dont think that Prime has a school and cr englands school isnt free persay..it still comes out of your paycheck
-
Ive already got my bus ticket for Hammond, Indiana on a Greyhound and the recruiter gave me a number to get a hold of the cr england shuttle to come get me there. I am not looking forward to that bus ride.
-
I don't think you can find a worse co than CRE...
-
Did you personally drive or know someone that drove for them? I am just curious what makes you come to your conclusion. I would like to know why you think they are the worse company out there? I am not defending them by any means but I am just curious why you hate them so much.
