Shady Recruiting with CR ENGLAND

I can't speak to the notion of wether CRE only hires new drivers who run through their school, but the tactic alone would have been enough to send me elsewhere too. There's too much BS in this industry to have to deal with the BS from even before day 1.

I suspect they see CRE school as an indoctrination period where they can feed you qualudes as they present you with a lease operator legal agreement and have you sign your life away before you've even began to get an understanding of the job and the industry.

 

Seriously, I would not drink or consume any food/beverages while attending CRE school function that were not factory sealed and from an outside source. I don't trust anything about that organization and would not put anything past them in regards to pushing the lease operator gig before you've had a chance to get out their in their real world in order to make an educated choice. (great for CRE and their lease subsidy, bad for the poor driver-contractor)

 

CRE hires drivers at all experience levels ... more likely there is a benefit to the recruiter ... maybe he's short on his quota for the week and was pressuring you so he could meet it.

CRE doesn't just screw over drivers ... they do it to their office employees also. They are extremely mismanaged. My experience there was that the office personal were constantly lying to drivers out of motivation to save their own butts.

 

Good to see someone doing their homework and warning others. Just do a quick search on this site, and even Google, will return hours upon hours of reading material pertaining to the horrors of this company.

Most mega carriers have no problem whatsoever with an inexperienced driver showing up with a CDL. In fact I think most are like that. Just get a year or so in and move onto greener pastures. I've heard of new drivers landing good jobs with as little as 3 months experience. Just stick it out as any move from a mega carrier to another mega carrier is nothing more than a lateral move at best.

 

You call it mismanaged. They call it profitable.

 

WOW!!

.25 a mile, where do I sign?

 

I've never heard a single good thing about CR England.
