How in the world does CR England recruit drivers? At a strip club? With the figures cited very well from all of you over and over, it amazes me they can find more and more first time suckers. If you bought a new truck yourself, the payment would be less than their lease payment. Maybe the willing victim has bad credit and thinks that this arrangement will restore their bad credit?

Here's one financial consideration: Child Support deducted from the paycheck every week. For me I pay just on one kid so it doesn't kill me, but if I worked for CR England, I would be deep in the hole constantly.

If a driver needs out of the lease early, does it further ruin his credit?

Actually they have a choice: take the FSC or get fuel at the $1.25/gal cap. Sometimes thecap is a better deal, other times the FSC is better. Their fuel surcharge rebate is somewhat below what other companies pay, though, I hear. For instance, when TransAm was paying .33, CRE was paying .30.

Default good one

thats a good one leave ups for cr england man thats a bad company their drivers aren't good at their job one hit my dad in a parking lot did nothin to my dads trailer but toar the cr england drivers trailer open like a tin can the funny thing was it was 11am and the parking lot was wide open and he ran into my dad. thats funny. and i heard that ooida was after them for having a messed up lease purches program i think they would run the drivers alot then short them miles at the end of the lease so they couldn't complete it. i think prime swift and a few other companies were included in that. i dunno if thats 100% right but its beliveable.
