I having been hearing about CR England since I started driving in 94. Dirtbag, vindictive, bottom feeder company of the highest order. Without a doubt the worst I have ever heard of.

 

Don't take this wrong, as its not meant to be mean or unfriendly:

The next time 99.999% of the people you ask about a particular company tell that company SUCKS!!...listen to them.

You are not alone though....there have been many that ask, get told the same thing and get some notion that everyone is telling them lies....and set out to prove everyone wrong....only to find out everyone else was right.

I doubt that CRE will trash you on your DAC....but one never knows. But here's what I would do:

Forget whats happened, move on. Find another company. If something does pop up....sit down, write a letter...detailing your experiences with the second trainer...get it notarized as a true and factual "affidavit", go to a lawyer and show it to him, and get his advice on what to do. Also, be prepared to show it to new prospective employers, and if your DAC has been trashed....send a copy to DAC stating it is your rebuttal to their claims. Also....contact the DOT in the states where that driver runs dedicated, and send them a copy of the letter....also detail out the name of the woman at CRE who said you should have taken the sleeping pill....

Don't spend much time worrying about repercussions....CRE is more than likely going to be way too busy playing CYA....and if the DOT falls on them, they have even bigger problems than you.

If nothing happens....and you secure a job soon and get to work....go with the flow, get it done....wait a couple of months than drop a bomb on CRE. They deserve it.

Remember....when 99.999% of responders say a company "sucks"....there's a very strong chance that its best to avoid it.

 

There is a kid who lives a few blocks down the street from me who apparently drives for England. I say apparently because the truck is in his driveway for 5 days out of the week. How he is making any money is beyond me, as it seems like the truck never moves :shock: I keep wondering if he's a L/P'er and figures he will only move the truck when he absolutly has to? It amazes me that whomever his driver manager is isn't knee deep in his azz, because there's no way that truck is making any kind of money for them. :? Either that or he's toward the end of the lease and they are starving him out?

 

why dont you walk down there and ask him?

 

skywalker, you are absolutely right. With my history, when i got the pre-hire letter from them I kind of stopped looking. Also, with my attitude, i thought I could deal with whatever for the time to get the experience. Well, we see what happened. I am going to start again and this time listen to good advise.

 

You were put in a no win situation. Night time driving is very difficult to adjust to. When I started on nights it took me months to sleep during the day and that was in my own bed, let alone a truck. Drink coffee all night to stay awake while driving and try to sleep when I got home. It's tough. Sounds like you did the right thing. Dont give up, keep looking.

 

Just toss that info onto to OOIDA there are a few hundred law suts against them. 5 years ago i drove for them.. They put stuff on my dac that was false i had the info to back up my statements..(wife has all the records) i sent copies to dac and dot and got me an atty.

I really apperciate the 25k i took from them in court in Utah Dac shows nothing now.. Funny how a little law suit works. I think there just criminals and it starts with the whole england clan.

 

Because I could care less?? :shock:

 

While i was at orientation, i met a guy who just became a lease driver and said his last check was for 2.00. don't know the whole situation but damn
