Default C.R.E ??

I was at a beer wherehouse today and had another driver recommend
CR England as a great company to work for :shock: he said lot's of miles even though the pay scales a little low.I thought about it for about half a second then realized that #1 this driver is now driveing for someone else.
#2 (and this is the big one) he's waiting for a wrecker to lift the loaded trailer that he just dropped in the lot ops:
So much for CRE training! just thought I'd share this

Out 2 weeks and thu the house 2x I like it here at Crete

You drive for Crete and for "half a second" thought about driving for CRE?!? I am not sure I understand the point of your post.

It sounds like you are doing well at where you are at. BOL

No he thought about what the other driver said for half a second, not that he considered working for CRE.

Most people that recommend their company want that new hire bonus.

Especially if they're working for CRE! It might be the only income they actually see if they are on the lease program x'D

You all seemed to miss one very salient point..... He said:

The operant words are italicized.... now...if it was so great, with so many miles... :? ... why is he driving for someone else... :?: And considering as he lost his trailer and dropped it on the ground....this "gomer" is certainly one to use as a point of reference... :? :? 8)

I drove for CR England and now drive for Crete and I wouldn't consider driving for CRE for a half a second.

CRE drivers have told me many unbelievable stories that make me wonder what a sales pitch for CRE Lease Programs sound like. Many drivers say that they paid over $125,000 to CRE in lease payments, having very little money left over for themselves, sometimes being in the hole for a whole weeks work. The bright side to his story was that he got back $25,000 in a tax return. Another team driver said they had no money and needed a trip but CRE left them sitting for a few days and the food was about to run out in the truck. The lack of miles to pay for the lease is only the beginning of the driver troubles there.

STAY AWAY.
