CR England "Drivers are a dime a dozen"

you all could be living in another country cr england is a great company

I've been here now waiting for a trainer almost eight days, waiting to be (what else) trained; I just now ran into another student here at one of their premier hotels and he said he is going home. Of course, I am curious, since I'm in the same situation. I asked him why is he going home? He said this to me, "I've been here now waiting for two weeks and I have not heard one word from them at all about my going on the road." Wow, I'm worried myself now! To be sure, I'm just hanging out myself, sleeping next to a Psycho whose treats are very troubling to me, threatening me with physical aggression about touching his remote control, and just spending all my money away on food. Really, I just hope my trip here is not just a number for C.R.England to get money from the government - as I keep hearing from other students. Man, I'm really worried now.

Here's my experience with CR England which the "England" must stands for Every New Graduate Leaves After Ninety Days! 

 

I have been pestered by emails to look into CR England. So I called. It took over 10 minutes on hold to be spoken to a person who didn't answer any questions and just wanted me to apply. I told her my experience level of 10 years with about 17 months OTR and was asking for a ballpark figure on base cpm. She wouldn't tell me anything about trucks, pay or benefits! She said I had to apply before they can tell me anything of this nature. 

 

I'm sorry, but in this day and age of identity theft, I'm not about to give out all my personal information, especially my social security number to a business who can't even tell me what the lowest pay grade would receive.  

 

My opinion is all trucking companies that buy new equipment each and every year treat drivers this way. 

 

CR England is by far is the worst because they're willing to take he inexperienced and those with experience and treat them like they need to teach you about what a truck and trucking is. 

 

Stay away from them or you'll be thinking of me on your "at own expense" Greyhound bus ride home!

Wow!!!!!!!!! I was thinking about driving for C R due to the post Im afraid of them now

all i know is that trucking is for men not crybabies....

To the management person that claims that the person can't spell, ummm you spelled concerned wrong in your title, and for you to actually claim to be management and put someone down on this board, well that kinda just proves of what everyone is saying about the management of the company. I am going to have to say that you are a TROLL. I have read a lot of horror stories about this company, and I could understand if it was maybe 2 or 3 people that were pissed , but if you look back through the dates of the posts on the various websites you can see that this has been going on for quite awhile and I would have to say that there is something wrong with this company. All these people can't be wrong.

I have looked in to these practices you think they are unfair to drivers you should see the agents they are treated like slaves and CRE stealing from them to make numbers.  

 

Its time I reach out to all of CRE customers letting them know of thier managements Shaddy dealings and how they lie steal.  

 

Boycott CRE

Where to begin,I'm a Truck Driver been driving 15 years always worked Local driving anything from Tractor-Trailer to Dump Trucks and Cement Mixers,but now that the economy is bad and lack of work I decided to go O T R well that was a problem because I haven't driven O T R so I looked around and came across C R England and despite all the bad I been hearing thought I would give them a shot well that was a Giant mistake indeed,almost everything I have read about this company is true,I spent 2 day's on a greyhound bus not much sleep got to Gary IN and immediately we had to go do paperwork and take a D O T Exam I was so tired I could barely do the eye test after that they took us to the motel they own along with Go GO bar next door and a restaurant they owned as well, well we were given our rooms and told if your caught in the Go Go Bar you will be D q or Disqualified and sent home and if you are caught drinking the same which I didn't have any problem with this cause I have a wife at home and don't drink as a general rule,They Have 2 motels Travel Inn Lodge and Home Town Lodge and both with GO GO Bars the whole time you are here they try to get you to go into theses places to get rid of you,bottom line if you lease the truck you have a job with C R England don't lease they don't want you all you are is another head to count for government money,if you already have you C D L they charge you a admin fee of 50.00 the class is a rushed class they shove the information down your throat they don't teach anything they dangle you on a string and pass you through and the driving is a joke because you and the other students are teaching your self s how to Back up and so on the instructors show up when they feel like it and then criticize you because your doing it wrong what a joke,I'm here to learn I want the Experience,Well here is the topper I was out with my S R group only 2 days to go for graduation and then phase 1 30 days out with a trainer (they have 2 phases phase 1 30 days Phase 2 30 days then you upgrade to company driver if you don't lease)well a instructor came and told me to follow her to the office I asked what was wrong she wouldn't tell me, now I will say this I know this cause I been around a long time and I know if you lie about anything they will find out and as GOD as my witness I told them Everything up front I wanted to do this I want the Experience to get a better Career so going back to what I was saying I was escorted to the office and the admin didn't know why I was there but here comes this Fat Security Guard and says to me you are being D Q ed disqualified for Jack knifing a trailer I never Jack knifed a trailer I backed into someone and told them I did that they just used that excuse to get rid of me then on top of that they didn't want to give me a bus ticket home had to keep calling them and bugging them sat at the greyhound station for 2 hours wondering if I'm getting home and finally they gave me a confirmation for a ticket I asked the Recruiter if anything could be done he said no and got nasty and said your lucky to get a ride home so be warned these people are bad news Crooked and the company is a big JOKE!!!! Stay away from C R England.

To, "This is for all of you"....I got to say, from what I hear about this company, after talking to several drivers. I am just in shock, as to how this company treats their drivers. If you have to fight tooth and nail, for something that should be given to you in the first place, then it is just wrong, That be detention pay, and things like that. Not to mention safety, CRE is always sending QualComm messages out to their drivers, "Be safe, drive legally" Still they tell some of their drivers, to carry loads, that is illegal, like overweight. This happens all the time, when a driver gets his/hers, load, they go to the closest scale, CRE wants you to use a CAT scale, preferrably, if the load weighs in heavy, the driver, gets told to go to a different scale, check it there, and if good, on a non- certified scale, they get told to roll with it. If you end up, getting scaled, especially in California, it is the drivers license that is on the line, not the companys. The DM's and whoever else, is in charge of the loads for these people, have never been behind the wheel of a truck, and still, they try to tell you what to do, talking down to you, look you have no clue as to how to drive a truck, or to take care of your load. They are so desperate for trainers these days, that they take people that are still learning the ropes!! They are trying to get people, that are "green" with 6-7 months of driving, to be trainers!! 6-7 months since starting with the company, that means 3-4 months on your own!! These are the people they want to train others?? Give me a break!! This company is run by lunatics, that does not know their *** from a hole in the ground! Now, I also heard, there is a major lawsuit, coming up in California, against CRE...I hope they nail them good!!

This company is horrible. I don't even know where to start. They don't care about the students. They don't care if you eat. They stick you in the middle of nowhere with no money no nothing and say fend for yourself. The staff treats you like S#$t. Someone needs to do something I don't know what but please please I BEG OF YOU DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY. I would rather shovel S**t all day then to work for this company...RIP OFF !!!
