My wife and I went to their Utah training facilty in december of 2008 to get our CDL licenses and lease a tractor from their lease program. They are professional scam artists... They make millions off thier students and more from the lease program, that is how these shitbirds make thier revenue... they dont make money as a trucking company, most of the drivers driving for them are getting so ripped off that they quit and go to enougher trucking company to make money to pay for the costs of the CR Englands programs. They will take take take and perpously leave you stranded 3000 miles from home with no money. They have no loads... who would hire a trucking company with pissed off drivers???? that would drop off their merchandise where ever when the drivers figure out how bad CR England is ripping them off..:.

Save your self the hasle and go to a truck driving school to get your CDL, The job connect and US goverment has programs that pay 100% of the cost of the training;. if you can not afford it your self|. We did just that and the Goverment paid $1700, .00 a piece to go to the nearest driving school in our city'. CR England wanted $6000..00 plus intrest to get a CDL licence?. We told them to stick it where the sun dont shine the second day we were there.

CR England, What a joke, just a money mill and they do not care or give a crap about their drivers, they did over half a billion dollars of revenue last year and their drivers are barely making a living. those that lease, work a week, seven days over the road, dangeours work, away from home 7 days and hten get stuck with a bill for 50 -100 dollars or more. Imagine working 7 dangerous days away from home, then getting a bill for your service! They own the leasing company, so they make money off your truck lease and your service, while you barely earn enuff to make a living!
The school is just a money mill, they do not give people enough time to learn the material, basically setting you up for failure while they make the 2, 900 dollars off your schooling, which is not schooling at all. They just give you materials to read and study and barely time to read and study. Your first red flag should be if they leave you little time after they call you to come attend the school. There is no way you can learn all the information in one day to pass your cdl test. I studied before i got there and did pass the tests only to get attacked/assaulted by a crazy animal roomate and kicked out of the school for fighting and "I did absolutely nothing but go to the office at the hotel and report the crime." The hotel is a dump, fleas everywhere even under your sheets at night, microwaves don't work, heat/air don't work and nobody cares, they act like they care but they do not. They told me I would be in a new hotel and they set me up in that dump, The American Suites Inn. The only have one bus and 2 vans to get you from class and to walmart so there is never enough room for everyone to get on, Which means you wake up at 4 after 4 hours sleep, only to miss the bus through no fault of your own and sit around for another hour to an hour and a half waiting for the bus to return, you are sleeping about 4-5 hours a night, 12 hours of class a day, then you will miss the bus to get home after class if you don't push your way to the front and they never run the 2 vans, you do get to see them sitting there in the parking lot. Then the director A-o-io will talk like he cares but trust me he is a power monger and does not give a crap, all they are doing is farming people and making money off you and your hard work, assuming you can make it through the living hell they routinely and continually subject you to!
There were about 75 people in my class and they talk to you and treat you like crap. They have so many new hires, way more than they could possbily employ and those that they do, they do not have enough trucks for, so what they are really doing, is trying to lease you a truck so they can make money off your work and the truck lease! All while you barely make enough to pay your bills, truck payment, insurance and gas, after 7 days hard and dangerous work over the road! Not worth any of the crap or torture they subject you too. I heard stories of trainers trying to get trainees to drive more hours than legally allowable per DOT regulations by driving signed in on the electronic log under the trainers name, and if you get pulled over while driving under theior name, you have comited the crime not them!
The entire company is crap, the people are crap, to include the goofy trainers and none of them give a crap about you. Do yourself a favor and stay away from them as far as you can, I could go on and on complaining about the inhumane treatment. Like the fact that new bodies come through the doors every week. So many new hires (trainees) that they could not hire them all if they wanted to.
Do not even think about joining that organization, you will regret it! and if you do, they won't pay you fair compensation for your hard work. .12 cnets a mile for team driving? Hello, that is 550 - 650 for 7 dangerous days out on the road for less than 100 a day! just say hell no, you won't go because I can guarantee, you will regret it.
Good GOD CR England and all of their money grubbing human farming are nothing more than feces, using and abusing "people" for their own persoanl gain and profit! Don;t believe me? Go and see for yourself, then come back and confirm that everything I said is true. Those not complaining or saying good things are either lying or desperate enough in the tough economy to have anything to occpuy their time!
They even told us point blank, that they do not have enough trucks to hiore all the people they hire. All they want you to do, is be on the hook for a truck lease so you have to stay on and struggle to make your payment and insurance. The director A-o-io is just an arrogant power hungry jerk hell bent on overseeing their people farm like Stalin of Hitler, ruling "nothing" with an iron fist. And all the other people talk down tpo you, like you are not important and making clear that they do not care or give a crap abpout you. Like I said, i could go on and on, do yourself a favor and find yourself a real job, because CR England is not it!

I have a cdl from previous trucking, but was out of driving for about three years. I contacted CR England for a job and was told by the recruiter that I would be hired but needed to take a refresher course to insure I could still drive and update on any laws, log books, etc. I was told the course I would be attending would only cost me $100.00 and it would be 1 week long, then on a truck with a trainer for a week longer. I arrived in Salt Lake City and was told no room in the facility that I would be bussed to a motel and would have to bring all my luggage back each moring. I had about 50 pounds worth of canned food since they did not provide meals. I was placed in the hotel (on a Sunday) and had to stay there for 3 days before they found me a room with 7 other guys, all sleeping on very wobbly bunk beds. The same type my young children have. When I arrived on Monday, I was told I would be attending a 2 week course, then out over the road for 2 to 3 months with a trainer, (no home time unless they happen to have a delivery in the town I live in), and I would have to lease a truck since they have more drivers than trucks. I went to training as usual, and watched as a class of over 100 people began to dwindle down due to various reasons..birth certificate was ripped, recruiter didn't get all previous job references (which I thought was something they should have had completed before telling you that you were hired), etc. In class instruction was just fine, but then we went to the backing range and learned to back with the help of students, not instructors and before we even learned to go forward. Me having driving experience was able to assist my fellow students. After 1 1/2 weeks, I said screw it and left. I met several friends I keep in touch with on a weekly basis who graduated and got their CDL's with CR Englands help. 1st friend, leased a truck and got into a wreck, not his fault. Instead of England giving him another truck while his was being fixed, he sat around for several weeks. Finally back on the road he was dispatched to a trailer left abandoned at a truck stop and got 70 miles down the road and was pulled over and arrested. He was told the trailer was stolen, even though the Qual Com had him dispatched to it. 2nd friends (a couple) leased a truck together and team drive. In 4 months they received their tax statement stating they made $30, 000, but have only banked $4, 000. England has received the $26, 000 for their money. 3rd friend, got broke and went elsewhere. His highest paycheck was $500 and only once. And get this, he became a trainer after a month! 4th friend was told to come back to Salt Lake City for his "upgrade" because he refused to lease a truck, but England would not send him via Greyhound, but instead wanted him to hop trucks headed that way. He was fired for a log violation during his attempt to return, and was never behind the wheel since he was trying to get back to the facility. I was fortunate enough to get a local driving job and have made more working hourly delivering farm commodities than my friends who are doing OTR driving. Please take it from me and my friend's experiences and do not go to CR England. This was August 2010. When I asked my recruiter about all of the negative publicity with England, he stated that they have made improvements and are driver oriented. Not.

My father got employed with CR England back in Jun 2010, and it's been hell ever since with these people. Basically it started with a huge amount of lies and misleading information provided by Ryan Johnson, a driver manager for CR England in Utah. My mom was flying in for 3 months from Europe, and dad asked for 3 weeks off around begining of Oct or end of Sep, and they said no probelm...of course come that time, they said they couldnt do that, they gave him 3 days instead, and that messed everything up for me because i bought specific tickets for my mom, now i had to send her back to California where my dad lived so they can see each other for 3 days, a huge financial and family mess. Then, of course comes the money issue, he wasnt making crap with them, i constantly had to send him money for food and rent, basically so he can survive, and back in Nov he put his paperwoks to quit, and he was supposed to get a load back to Utah to drop off the truck and quit the company. Well it's Dec 22 now, and they keep sneding him back east and to Texas, and back east again, with ho intent from the company to send him to Utah and drop off the truck. They are a piece of crap, they are keeping him on the road to milk whatever they can out of him, and in the meanwhile, they keep telling him "we are working on it"...supposedly working on sending him back to Utah...well, today, Dec 22 they gave him another load back east. Needles to say he quit and the truck has been turned in to the CR England yard in Laredo. These people have no soul, they are scammers and liars, they dont understand when you treat a person like that, it affects his or her entire family and friends, and creating a whole set of issues for everyone, just so they can keep making money.

Guess Many have learned that ENGLAND stands for Every New Guy Lasts About Ninety Days.

The way the Pay and Lease programs are structured, the company gets the work done, their trucks and fuel paid for by you and YOU get nothing!!! Unless you consider $100.65 for 2500 miles of driving a good pay!!!

Obama could use this program as a weight loss program by requiring overweight people to work for CR England!!! The entire family would be homeless and lose weight at the same time...Good benefits...HUH?
