Wow! That says a lot! I've long considered them the number 1 bottom feeder, but you have put it in perspective.

I won't go into all of the settlement "errors", the garbage that they pulled on students (me included), the legal shenanigans that they pull to avoid paying civil and class-action judgements against them, their connection to the 'sleep center' that they send everyone to, in order to force you to buy a $12,000 sleep apnea machine (which they will conveniently finance) or any of the rest, because it would turn into a gawd-awful, never-ending rant...
But working for CR England is the same thing as becoming a victim of a scam, as surely as the crown prince of Nigeria wants to give you 850 million dollars. The more that you allow them to get their hooks into you, the more of your flesh they will tear away and consume. The longer that you are associated with them, the deeper those hooks will go. They are terrible. Stay away, if there is any other possible option.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
Swear I heard that somewhere..... Maybe I'm thinking of Covenant. -

You could give Knight a try. They have a yard in Sacramento. I did really well when I was there an have a lengthy thread on here with my experiences there. They have a couple other yards in CA and a strong presence in the Western region. I recommend refrigerated but with you living in the West dry side might be better but I'm not too familiar with how they run.

I did 14 months w. Werner. Not real gripes against them. Went to work did my job, got to see parts of the country I might not have otherwise seen. Refused the offer to team, refused temp accounts left and right, refused dedicated.... Just ran my ### off for my FM, and he was glad to have me on his strictly OTR team.
I personally think I made a wise choice in where I chose to work out the kinks and knock the dust off of myself.... Much of that is attitude as well tho.... I wasn't expecting a million & I wasn't expecting to matter.Vic Firth Thanks this. -

You can make a go of it at Werner, but it takes a while to find a groove, and they aren't keen on keeping people for too long - they get federal grants for training students, and those grants start to dry up before long. So I'd go with Werner (of the two), put in six months to a year, and try to find something more permanent at that time. -
