Promise u mileage & then u don't get that. Let's get them out & proceed with this new lawsuit... Or ou can join into the current one if you ae based out of CA... Thanks CR England for destroying our lives. from Mr.Charles

Please contact me as soon as possible about this. I did not complete the training and they are still trying to charge me for the schooling.

I thought this was settled 2 years ago and just got another letter from them.

They say that I now owe them over $4500.

How can i be included with this law suit. I've driven semi since the military in 1980. England is the only company that I've worked at a 50 hour week and consistently give me a paycheck for -$1000.00.

Guest

300 dollar paychecks low mileage pay pencil whipping accounts and DMS that will force you to break law for their commissions.

My husband too has been scammed, tricked, and lied to in leasing a truck from CR England. He worked 8 weeks, he drove over 19,000 miles, he grossed over $17,000, but his take home was less than $1,500.

We have a family he could barely take care of us. His last week working at CR England they put my husband through ***. They had my husband to drive his truck to Salt Lake City, UT for no reason. After getting to Salt Lake they made all kinds of excuses to why he could not leave the yard.

At first they give him a load to deliver to California, because he had put in a request to go to the doctor. But before he could leave the yard to pick up the load to deliver it they took the load from him. He did not know what was going on why they would give him a load and then turn around and take the load from him. So after 4 days of going around in a circle my husband call called home and said get me a greyhound bus ticket home I am out of here.

My husband told CR England that he was quitting, they told him that they was going to go after him and make him pay for the remainder of the lease contract which he had 7 more months to lease. They told him that wherever he would go and try to get a job that they was going to garnish his wages. My husband was not going to quit, but until they refuse to let him leave the yard, he said enough is enough I am out of here.

If the lawsuit is still in effect my husband would like to be included in it. You may email me at annettewaller8@***.com Thank you,

Unfortunately I was also scammed into leasing one of their vehicles. Bottom line, took home 1900.00 after 6 months of continous driving.

Over 18,000.00 went to company for their fees and fuel. Total miles driven over 50k by becoming a phase ll trainer. Now im constantly harrased by their creditors .

I'm a current driver/student with crengland. I'm not happy with this company at all.

I have been with this company for almost 4 months now and still have not recieved a full pay check like they have promised. My first pay check was 48$ for eleven days of work. I'm always having to take out more than $100 or more a week. Im falling behind on my bills.

There famous words when you need help win anything. (Oh, we are working on it). It's a bunch of bull for what this company is doing to us drivers. If it wasn't for us DRIVERS, their freight wouldn't be moving.

I'm getting a hold of other trucking companies that offer better deals. Do not apply with crengland. They will rip you off any possible way they can think of. I really hope England falls hard.

And when that happens and it will happen. I will laughing got who knows how long. Someone really needs to teach them a lesson and take them down. Crengland is a worthless company to work.

Sign me up and I want to join the lawsuit. I want to make sure that these greedy retarded *** holes never do this again.

My email is joshuaanderson283@***.com. thanks.

1998 I trained on double/triples in Northwest. Think about this, when running doubles in California at 55mph you were making $4.40/hr.

While some of the paybacks were not to start until later, they started immediately, so there were many weeks you received no pay. Trainer feed you or you called home for money.

The entire industry is "cheap." What is not made from the customer they make from cheating their drivers.

I'm not real fond of the unions, however every driver out their should join teamsters, so you can make a better living, right?

Guest

My story is very similar to the others whom where scammed by CR England. I once worked an entire seven days driving a lease truck and made my 550 miles each day when I wasn't sitting around waiting for a dispatch!

The dispatchers did not care that I was out of money for food or anything.

I ended the week and got my pay statement onthe Qualcomm, it stated that I actually owed the company $84.00!!!! So I had busted my hump for an entire week to owe them money! These people are very slick salesmen. They get you when you are at your lowest point and drive you into the ground.

They need to pay!

I already had two years of CDL experience OTR and they still made me be a "slave" to a "trainer" who was delighted that I ha experience so that I would drive all night while he lept in the sleeper. I am so glad to hear that someone is doing something to these sleazy bastards!

Guest

500 miles a day is average for OTR driver even a little on the low side.You didn't know this fact before you hired on? 11 hours a day at about 50 miles per hour average = 550 miles per day.

Guest

This is so sad. My boyfriend and I are currently living this nightmare.

I have recently read about previous lawsuits and I don't understand how CR England is allowed to continue the same behavior.

I thank God for my stable employment, because without it he would not be able to make it. Since leasing the truck, his pay has been in the negative.

Guest

I drove for CR England. Weekly $100 advance was only real income.

Home visit not allowed for 1stthe anniversary. Lease truck was so I could pay for repairs before they sold it. Trainer refused to train; I was just his slave at 12ร‚ยข/miles. Got 2ndreal trainer who did train.

Got charged for towing truck, diagnosis, routine maintenance that was not my fault. Dispatcher gave instructions for illegal driving via cell phone. I protested and got five days with no trips. Called and told had a trip but only if I was willing to be a team player.

$150/day for lease and insurance. Threat was ruined credit rating if not finish lease.

In 11 months, cleared $6122. The only way to make money was by being a trainer and exploitation of new trainee drivers.

Guest

OMG, all of these sob stories, people who have no common sense. What in the world is wrong with these people who think they can leave home with no money and survive. what a shame and shame on them

You're a privileged shill.

Sit down, miss.

Guest

What exactly should we read "wow?" Their website where it says you can be a company driver? Their recruiters who lie?

Shaddup.

They are trying to force me into a lease, I'm fed up. It's bordering on harassement.

Guest

Thank god I'm smart cuz I work for cre and I make great $$......nuf been said

Guest

Im about to go to school with this company soon......Am I making a mistake? I have heard this is the best company to start out with to get the experience you need to go to another company.

Guest

My current husband worked for them about a year ago. He was also in the position that he needed a job and decided to get his CDL.

He went to thier school to get this "training". He also had no money for food or anything else at this time. He passed thier tests and got his cdl. He got put with a "trainer" who also didn't see him as a trainee, and made him drive while he slept.

According to thier company policy the trainer is supposed to be in the passenger seat (AWAKE) while the trainee drives. Well seeing he was never going to get home he called in and told them his family needed him home. (his dad has heart problems and other numerous health issues). He was told that they would route him back to slc utah.

well within 24 hours his trainer told my husband to drive so he (trainer) could sleep. Trainer goes to sleep. My husband gets in the driver seat. He is leaving a crowded truck stop parking lot.

He ended up catching his trailer on a semi parked in the area. (He was fired) but they refused to help him get home. Would not pay him. (in fact took the Last Paycheck he was supposed to get for their "training school").

They also told him he had to go to Maine and when they could they would get him home. If he would have stayed in the truck he would have had no money to eat nothing at all. He could not take a bus he could not get out at a truck stop and get a ride home he could not get back into salt lake until it was convienent for the company. He told them to Kiss his *** and got out and called me to come get him.

We now owe them for the schooling and he is in debt with family to even survive the month he worked for this company.

How they treat people is wrong!! Something should happen to them to either fix it or put them in their own misery so they can't hurt anyone else.

Guest

I am sorry for what you have been through.. My boyfriend was lucky enough to have me to send him money for food and essentials.

Now he is driving for toyota dedicated run he is making good money.

Here is the catch 22...he is *** a student trainee. Isn't that against policy and procedure?
