Any feedback on England would be much appreciated + or -. I just got of the phone with their recruiter. He made it sound pretty good of course. :?: TIA

 

Do a search on here. You will not find too many good things about them. I have never personally worked for them so I can not say if all the scuttle butt is true or not. BOL

 

so true, especially that lawsuit! as fireman said do a search.

RUN!!! Don't WALK from your friendly, neigborhood CR England recruiter!!! I had a buddy who pulled for em' and lived to regret it. His crack-the-whip, Captain Ahab dispatcher never got him home and would constantly hound him as to why he needed to hire a lumper. His paystubs never added up right and England corporate would pimp their ripoff fleece-purchase program on him every chance they could. The last straw came when they gave him a NYC "hot-load" when he was promised hometime on Xmas day. He said "F That!" and dead-headed all the way back to Salt Lake City and had his wife come pick him up at the yard. England turned around and slammed his DAC and tried fining him for all sorts of petty crap.

Avoid CR England like the plague!!

 

How can CRE fine a company driver??? :shock: Did he abandon the HOT N.Y.C. Load?

 

Other than the lease-purchase part (which didn't exist when I drove for those morons) this was my experience as well.

Deadheading back was dumb on his part, but understandable.

Drop your pants and bend over if you work for that bunch of cretins.

 

My brother drivers for CRE and up until this last week has been very happy with them and the miles..........he's average around $1,100 net per week since he started his 6 month lease. He was happy enough to consider another 6 month lease...........that is until this week.

Wednesday he checked his bank account and saw that CRE had only paid on 1 of 4 trip pack that were in on time for this week's pay period. The smallest of the 4 on top of that.............when he checked on the deal, he was told that his lease ended next Monday and that he would have to be cashed out of this lease before he could sign the next lease.........meaning that they were holding all monies due him for 45 days to allow time for any bills to be processed................he told them fine, per the contract you hold the reserve funds, but the trip packs weren't part of the reserve funds and should be paid . Their excuse for holding the trip packs was that they wanted to be sure there was enough money available to pay any outstanding bills. His lawyer filed suit today, charging breach of contract, fraud and grand theft......we'll see what happens.

Not 5 minutes after he got off the phone concerning the missing pay........the leasing agent called wanting to know which truck he wanted for the new lease, so they could have it ready on Monday when he got back into SLC to sign the new lease. He couldn't believe it. He told them he had changed his mind and that instead of the 6 month lease he was going with the 3 year lease and wanted the top of the line. When it comes time to sign the new lease..........he'll tell em where to put the lease and the new truck. His wife is meeting him in SLC on Monday in their Expedition to pick him and his gear up............a weeks vacation in Jackson Hole and then back to Denver to shop for a new truck as an O/O leased to the very client he covered as a CRE L/O........................

 

I have alredy scratch them off my list. To many horror stories.

 

I wonder how they stay in business if their that bad? :roll:
