    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
    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.
    Finding the right trucking company is like finding the right person to marry. I really comes down to finding one whose BS you can put up with and who can put up wih yours.

    Most people that recommend their company want that new hire bonus.
    Everything I need to know about driving a truck I learned from watching "DUEL"

    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:

    CR England as a great company to work for :shocked: 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.

    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)
    Forrest Gump was right....and some people literally strive to prove it.....everyday. Strive not to be one of "them".... And "lemmings" are a dime a dozen!

    Remember: The "truth WILL set you free"! If it doesn't "set you free"....."it will trap you in the cesspool of your own design".

    They lost my original "avatar"....oh well.

    I drove for CR England and now drive for Crete and I wouldn't consider driving for CRE for a half a second.
    ...another place, where the faces are so cold
    I'd drive all night just to get back home

    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.
