Like they say about the winery business, "How do you make a small fortune in the winery business? Start with a large fortune."

I spoke to a couple CR guys while we were picking up loads in Colorado last week. The guy who was actually leasing his truck told me that he has to pay 14 CPM to England for his dispatchers! That is incredible. His "trainee" was getting 12 CPM and both were basically starving.

Now that I've finally managed to get their website to work, here's the numbers.

CR England - Truck Driving Jobs - Truck Driving School - Trucking Company - Refrigerated Trucking

Weekly Mileage 3,250
Annual Mileage 169,000

Revenue Base @ 90 ¢ $ 2,925.00 Weekly
Expenses Truck Payment $ 467.00 Weekly
Fuel @ 6.3 paid mpg w/ England Fuel Cap of $1.251 $ 644.84 Weekly
Maintenance @ 7 ¢ mile2 $ 227.50 Weekly
Variable Mileage Payment @14 ¢ mile3 $ 455.00 Weekly
Insurance $ 234.04 Weekly
Fuel/ Road Tax @ 1.5 ¢ per mile4 $ 48.75 Weekly
Total Expenses $ 1,973.13 Weekly

Weekly Income $ 951.87 Weekly
Annual Income $ 49,497.24 Yearly

At 2,000 miles per week, this would come to roughly $252.96 GROSS pay, per their figures. That's $13,153.92 yearly.

Mind you, this is all gross pay, NOT take-home pay. Scary, eh?

Over the years I have talked to many CR England drivers in different parts of the country. It may be selective memory but I can't recall one driver that was having a positive experience with them.

It would be a good learning tool about what not to get into in the future and help the driver to ask better, more pointed questions the next time he or she was shopping around for a job.
