Company Misrepresented

When I spoke with the recruiter for CR England I was told I would receive during Phase 1 $500 a week and bumped up $550 - $600 Phase 2. Never once did the recruiter state it would be 12 cents a mile, stated after Phase 2 I would choose if I wanted to do solo or team it would be my choose. Well I find out after Phase 2 I would have to drive for another 6 more months as a Team Lead at 14 cent a mile! I joined the company August 2016 and have had no home time after making several request been out for over 2 months. I would NOT recommend this company.

Im not one of those disgruntled drivers. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. There is one good thing I can say about this company. And that is this: Since i had been black listed, this company picked me up when no other company would touch me. Now I hate saying bad stuff about anyone or anything. But unfourtunately the bad outweighs the good with this company. I came into this company with 6 months of exprience. They lied to me and told me I would make .32 cent per mile. Turns out it was .28 cent per mile. And they also call themselves trying to tell me how to drive a rig. Telling me that Im not allowed to go over 70 mph. What I wish they understood is when your going down a hill (especially when loaded) you have to keep a good speed up for when you go up the hill coming. But hey what do I know? Im the one with the CDL. Not them. Surely they know how to drive these things better than me. Another thing is they have this little road camara thing that beeps whenever you go out of the lines on the road. If you go out the lanes too much the qc gives off a warning that is sent into safety. If you get too many of these warnings they start threatening your job. Just like when you go passed 70mph. Now this isnt exactly a bad thing. But it's not really good either. Cause when I drive I stay in the far right lane and keep to the right, away from traffic. And every now and then my trailer might go a little out of the line on to the shoulder. Especially on a curve. And that causes the camera thing to beep and start giving me warnings. On top of all that. Also my DM is pretty useless. So i never go to him for anything. I try to bypass him and ignore him as much as possible. And im sure he does the same with me. My miles are very inconsistant. One day ill get a 2000 mile run, the next ill get a 700 mile run. With all that being said im currently looking for a new place to drive for. Perferably a 3rd party lease purchase. I considered doing a lease purchase with this company but they want 2 years of experince. Wish I could say better things about this company. But unfourunately I believe the reason no other company touched me and this one did, reguardless of me being black listed is because this company is the end of the line. This company is truely the trucker rock bottom.

They should fire all their terminal manager and dm at Colton terminal and security guard. There's a homeless Guy who live at their terminal!.

I know this because every weekend when my trainer goes home I'm stuck in the truck for 2 days. The staff there are rude! They will yell at you too frighten you if they feel you got your cdl from their cdl program or fresh too trucking with a cdl. They ignore you when you go into the terminal too ask them question about when they let u go home or general questions.

If you need to talk to someone in the office it'll be 40min - 1hr before they get tire of seeing you standing there and come over. Too anyone who got their cdl through cr england...

work and pay off your tuition and leave quick! And I repeat Do Not lease from them or you will be in deep depth and ruins your credit score.

This is by far the worst company to work for. The pay is ***, you don't get *** for miles, you dont get paid for the trips that you complete. If you are thinking about attending this school don't spare yourself now from all the bs. This company will put you through. There are alot better companys to choses from. With better benifits.

Here are the agencies and people to contact also get an attorney there are organizations that will help you because C.R england will lose if you go to court. They count on the ignorance of people not knowing the law to bait you and scam you out of money. Here is a list where to write: The Federal Trade Commision, The State Regulatory Agency, The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Comptroller of the currency, The Federal Reserve System, Credit and Insurance, Division of Consumer Complaints, The Office of the Attorney General, FCRA, CFPD, CPSC, NHTSA for things like when your trainer made you sleep in the top bunk while he drove or driving at night which Is against C.R's own contract for trainees. CFPB, CCB, FDCPA there are more. Make sure when you send you letter to have it certified. C.R. England is a criminal organization they practice preditory lending. They get subsidized from the Federal Government they've already been paid for your schooling and expenses. Make sure you write the Attorney General's office along with your and their congressman. Please keep copies of everything sent and received. you can use them for every count they have caused and each item that hurt your credit which is 5000 each plus a lot more. go to court they will lose.

Poor driving at best

I was cut off at the I-10 Riverside Eastbound off ramp by truck number 52293. The driver clearly saw myself and 3 other cars heading towards our green light... Approximately 3 car lengths from the light, when he pulled out in front of us covering 2 lanes of traffic. He was hauling a 53 foot trailer. I can't imagine this driver did not know how big his vehicle was. The sad part is people like this give all truck drivers a bad name. I see a lot of trucks in the area I live and besides OD drivers this has to be the worst one I have encountered yet. There is no excuse for risking other peoples life!

Cr England - Cdl Course Review

Hi for the first time i was cr england with my friend to get just experience and to drive for them.Then we stayed 30-40 minute in the class with non-cdl students.Then they took us for drug taste and so on.After all that there is a man looks funny but he is not real funny.He asking us very elementary so easy questions like,walk forward 4fit and show me table like his desk.Then finally we failed both of us .we asking him why we failed " you have to show me my own table "not to show the other person table sitting opposite side.For me its not make scenes. With out english we can't have cdl license. I thank so much for the dispatcher.

Cr England Truck Driving School Review from Boyd, Texas

Cr England Truck Driving School Review from Boyd, Texas

I just graduated at ceder hill and so far my experience is nothing like all the bad reviews i see on the internet?, the dallas inn (room 206) was quite comfortable, the training was quick and professional, i passed all five written test first try and passed road test first try. I think maybe some people enter into the program and not take anything serious, they play and laugh and joke around with each other and act like little children.

And some people i honestly think are just looking for a free place to stay. The point is if your serious you will go through first try np. Also prepare your self and understand that as with any company you are starting off at the bottom of the ladder. I prepared myself for this .

Your not going to get rich, no legitimate company out there is going to start you out making big bucks.

I learned some things about this company in orientation that im happy about. I will drive for them for one year and then i will see where im at, if im happy i will stay, if not i will put in my notice and move on.

Just wait until your contract is up. If you don't lease you will be let go.

Think about how many students are in and out. While you train you earn something like .13 cents a mile.

what a joke. good luck to ya buddy.

Im going back out tomorow to begin phase two, the pay is .28 cents per mile for all miles run split between me and the other dri er, i know that aint great but i can manage, it could be a lot worse, i was gonna go with stevens. They pay 350.00 a week flat salary, i averaged about 600.00 a week in phase one.

But like i stated in my previous post im starting at the bottom of the ladder, i got to work my way up, and so far no body has said anything about lease. The training has ben real good i have ben all over the country in all weather conditions no accidents or log violations. I am wanting to get on texas regional.

So far the experience has ben good, i will update again when i get back from phase two. I will be gone for two months this time.

Dangerous driver in truck 4901 June 28,2016 @ 1120 Hours

A CR.England truck driver was driving approximately 75mph minimum (since he passed me going speed limit) and was weaving into the carpool lane from the middle lane heading eastbound 680 Walnut Creek CA.

This incident continued for at least 2 miles as other drivers were attempting to stay clear of this reckless driver in the CR England truck number 4901....when i attempted to continue driving in the "carpool" lane,this *** swerved towards my small pickup almost hitting me.

It became necessary for me to outrun this CR England truck as it continued to swerve back and forth into two lanes and through a construction area.

I had to drive over into the shoulder in order to ensure this truck driver did not smash my wife and I between the cement barriers. Since i had to drive evasively in order not to be injured or killed by this driver for the CR England truck i could not get his plate number...but we did get a truck number. In my 40 years of driving i have never seen a so called professional driver almost cause many accidents. I hope other drivers who witnessed this *** use his truck as a weapon reported his tag to the CHP.

I assure you that any CR England truck i ever see driving slightly reckless i will call the CHP via 911 and report it. Maybe other actions will utilized to stop a threat to safe drivers.......

There is one problem with this story. Its just that a story.

Guest

unless your in a stick and they are going down hill so they can go over 65 and you know this if you are a driver so dont say they cant go over 65 because you know how to get them moving over 65

All our trucks are auto, that area of the 680 isn't heavy grades, we aren't going over 74 or 62 even (governed at 62)

Guest

Cr England trucks are governed at 62 mph....

In my experience, their training is indeed a scam for most people that they recruit. They said you can get training. Once you get your CDL and work for them for half year, the training fee will be waived. However, they don't need that many truck drivers. What really happened is they deliberatly not to teach some skills, then in the apprentice state they said you make mistakes because of this. So they dismiss you but you still have to pay $3000 for the fee because you have singed a contract that you don't have time to read in the first place in their school. This is something they never tell you in the beginning. The worse thing is , since you are not taught some necessary skills for truck driving and you have a history to be dismissed,it is very hard to find another job. In my case I have to get some extra training corse in another school by spending some other money additional to the Cr England training. I was told 90% of their students got dismissed afterwards but they have to pay for the training. It is still possible to become a truck driver after training at Cr England is not free but means a lot more expensive and a lot more in necessary frustrations.

If you can get CDL and get away from this company. They cheat you out of miles and pay. Dm Lynn Smith, was unfair and very rude she lies and leads you on. They are nothing but a group of thugs. Because when one person has a problem with you look out here comes the rest. Also they do not stick to there own policy. And they will find a way to fire you and still keep the contract open just to make money. Plz if you can go anywhere else. Go this is no a company of value.

I was just released by CR England after 4 weeks of schooling. I was onmy second attempt at parallel parking the tester was on his phone texting with someone when all of the sudden he would stop me in mid testing to go to the bathroom. The first time i sat in the truck waiting for 45 munutes and the second time was 30 minutes. He finally returned and told me i failed. I was not given a 3rd chance and was released and inow owe them money. Is there any current law suits i can get in on?
