I seen an ad in the newspaper and it said: "New England drivers make $50,000 their first year"... does anybody know if that's true?

 

Only if you are from Conn., Mass., Vt., NH or Maine :lol:

 

What, Rhode Island doesn't count??

 

I'm from California and the newspaper it was in is from here...

How about the lease program... is that any good???

 

I do believe he is talking about CR ENGLAND.......NOT New England.

 

oh my mistake LOL! I am talking about "CR England"...

I'm from California and I have 1 year and 7 months of local driving experience... I hauled tankers, doubles for a chemical company... I drove within a 100 mile range so I did not do any of that log book stuff...

Now I decided to take my career to another level and go over the road... C.R. England is the first company I applied for and I logged into here for some answers but I see on other threads that everybody talks down on that company... but so far I haven't seen a post that explains why that is a bad company to drive for...

Can somebody PLEASE explain why that company has a bad reputaion??? I'll would really appreciate it...

 

They have a reputation of screwing their drivers. Their lease purchase program is a joke - you could buy a brand new truck for a whole lot less than what they charge you for it. They will cut your miles off without any notice if they feel like it.

They have earned the reputation they have through years of fleecing, two-timing, and deception.

I can't think of any company out there that is more underhanded than CRE. You would do yourself a favor by steering far away from them.

 

I appreciate your response... and just to let you know I have no clue about over the road companies... what companies do you suggest I should try???

 

"1 year and 7 months of local driving experience" Many OTR companies won't accept that as "experience". At a minimum, you'll need log training and what a companies review at orientation may not get the job done. BOL

 

I'm sure there are others here that are far better at answering this question. I've managed to avoid working for any of the major carriers as a company driver, save a 6 month stint at the now defunct Proline Carriers about 11 years ago.
