I just want to warn all those who are thinking of getting their CDL's with CR England or decide they want to drive for them. They are not what they say they are cracked up to be! My husband and I went through their program last year. We are grateful we got our CDL's but at a cost. We ran the miles for the first five months that we were there. We averaged around 5000 - 6000 miles. But that all changed the day our dispatcher wanted us to run across Texas without any bills. We didnt' know any better, so we ran. My husband decided to call his cousin who has 20 years of experience driving, and his cousin said that we could get into some trouble as well as get tickets for not having the customer's bills with the load. So we made the decision to sit until they fixed the problem. Our dispatcher was very unhappy and he showed it to us by dropping our miles by half. We drove like this for about another month and decided that we were running ourselves into the ground with the lease payment. So we told them that we are going to drop the truck in Burns Harbor (a legitimate drop yard for England). Our dispatcher told us that because we did not bring the truck back to the Salt Lake City yard, that we would have an "abandonment" on our DAC report. Sure enough, they put it on their... As well as saying we abandoned a load they had dispatched to us. We never accepted any load. They are crooks. They claim that they will always work with a driver to have them come back to finish out a lease... But they will not. They have no morals. No Integrity. They punish you by taking away your miles and the end result is that you are forced to quit... Which you will end up with something negative on your DAC report. So my advice? Find a company that is reputable and will not F*k up your reputation!!!
