After losing my factory job I had for 35 years I got my CDL through the state for being a displaced worker. I started at Roehl with the intent of doing a year or two of OTR and finding a local driving job. After six months my wife had her fill of my being gone and so did I and I quit. I was 55 years old and no job. I applied for a city bus operator job for the city of Toledo OH and was hired immediately, the CDL was a huge help even though I had to retest for the passenger endorsement. Was paid for every minute behind the wheel and for sitting in the bullpen on report, I was not the only former truck driver there and retired after 10 years.
You are 100% correct brother about questioning Authority and nonsense policies. Just as everybody in the country should be questioning the last 3 years of all this nonsense
Steven's Transport did the same thing to me. I wised up quickly and left them. I will never do otr for anybody cause of the low pay. The don't respect the veteran drivers with experience
Thank you for speaking out. It's people like you who makes a positive impact in our industry. Truckers where making $0.45 per mile in 2005, which supposed to be $0.95 per mile today. Most truckers are making $0.65 or less which is just ridiculous
Got my cdl with England in 2011. What a horrible company. Thankfully I only was with them 9 months because I was in the military. I'm still receiving money from a class action lawsuit with them. You have to not be afraid of finding a new job, it's your best option.
In 2006 they tried to get you to lease a truck. The only way you could possibly make any money was to lease and drive as a team non stop. I rode with a trainer who’d leased. He gave me all the in and outs but I know they made no sense and weren’t profitable. Luckily I decided against it and he drove until his lease was up and he left. I’m still fb friends with him till this day. He said it was the smartest thing he did was to get out from under his lease. He said he would go broke unless he had a trainee or 2 onboard at all times.
My cousins first job was a bank teller, no college, worked up to management as a branch manager for 20 years making pretty good money, bought a house in orange county, nrw lexus' all the time, then bank was bought out, and she was replaced, also asked to train her replacement 20 years her junior and getting paid half, there is no secure job.
I just saw something about this on ET transport where he was explaining that companies want to get rid of their veteran drivers to save money. The companies would rather hire new drivers for the lowest pay while teasing the top dollar pay as if after 5 years they will be topping out.
Very well said my friend. I don't know how long you've been driving but you seem to have a lot of insight in the trucking industry. You make a lot of sense and I'm hoping these new drivers watch this. Glad to see I'm not the only one voicing my opinion on the career I love... God bless....
You're speaking facts, brother. I gave trucking 5 years of my life I could not see myself doing anything else but, I'm just done with it all after think about all the bull crap you deal with it's just not worth the mental stress I rather be home and happy than dealing with bullcrap.
I work for Swift and we’re gone through so many pay changes too. Like you said they rely on the school … difficult times in the trucking industry right now .
I worked for them as a trainer and kicked drivers off the truck all the time. I would tell them to meet me at the yard at a specific time to start their phase 1. If they were not there with in 15 mins of that time I failed them and left. I would get to the yard to drop off my current student and take a 10 hour brake so I would be fresh for the new guy and was always under a load when changing out drivers so I couldn’t wait for them. Besides if they can’t be there to start on time they can’t be expected to make their deliveries on time. I had some real scary students; 1 guy pulled a knife on me because I told him he had to drive a full shift not just 4 hours. Another student I caught smoking crack, another guys drive off and left me at a test area when we stopped to hit the head. Never checked to be sure I was back in the sleeper when he got back. He drove past me totally oblivious to what was going on around him as he drove off. Had my cell phone and everything else in the truck. I had all students leave their Phones in the sleeper while driving to avoid distractions. Had to call the state police and send them after the truck to tell the guy to turn around and come back for me. And it only got worse from there. cRE wasn’t scrapping the bottom of rhe barrel they where digging under it to put asses in seats.
I find it funny you failed to mention the ONE thing that would make trucking fair and quickly change.. To be paid BY THE HOUR!! It was exempted almost 100 years ago from the Fair Labor standards act.. With technology today.. There is not 1 reason truckers cannot be paid by the hour with overtime!!
I started out at England in 2016. I got on the trainer track and started training six months in. I know a lot of people freak out about people who start training early, but at least in my case, I stood by it. Training brand new drivers is an amazing learning experience. But in addition to that, I was new enough that I could get into the heads of new drivers. I went on to train again in the future, but I was better at it when I was new. Anyway, I was at England for a year and a half, out for 5-6 weeks at a time, home for a weekend. My next job was a big pay raise, running solo, low stress, five days out. I should have gotten out so much sooner. Now I'm running local, making six figures on 50-55 hours a week. Know your worth, folks. There's good jobs out there. They're even sometimes at the big carriers. Just gotta find em.
Will said Augustine I started with that company 25 years ago. Worked with them for six months left the company and never look back. There’s too much money to be made running local home every day I haul fuel locally and I make $2000 a week Monday through Friday 10 hours a day
What company if you don’t mind me asking bro? I finally got all my endorsements. My hazmat endorsement should be in the mail today. TSA already cleared it. Now I have doubles triples, tankers and hazmat endorsement. About 20 months experience. 🤔
Jat energy out of Chattanooga Tennessee. They only run local. They have a office in Cartersville, Georgia and a satellite office in Nashville and Birmingham Alabama. But their main office is in Chattanooga Tennessee.
Kudos to you for sticking with CRE for 2 years brother! There are plenty of smaller operations out there that will see your dedication as a positive. Even if CRE fires you for speaking the truth, that's a truth that these small companies already know. You should have no problems finding a job with a decent company. Best wishes for you and yours man!
It's been like that since I've been alive 49years..once you know too much in any industry your not hire-able...They call it over Qualified...Basically don't want you coming in strong minded know just as much ,most of the time even more than a lot of the Bosses, associates...Your supposed to have started your on business at that point..In trucking you can speed that process up by decades...Absolutely anybody can drive a Rig in a week or so of training..Question is who will last...10-10 Truckers can become Dispatch and brokers but 1 out of 10 brokers/Dispatchers can become (Truck Drivers)...The only way is to out preform by staying out 2+ months at a time, once any Trucking company tries to cut my pay I leave...also stay away from Driver/Mill companies..Go with a small fleet company or a nitch like fuel/oil fields etc...Get hired Directly from the place your drop&hook at [Walmart] you'll be treated much better all the way around
Sorry that happened to you, I started with CR England & I stayed with them for 2-1/2 years on a dedicated account which was Abbott Nutrition I had a good run for the most part best outcome I had was training & had a great trainer which I was fortune for that because I know others in my class had it rough with trainers but long story short I drove for CR England, Pro Truck Lines, Trimac & the 3-1/2 years with Walmart private fleet has been the best company I’ve been with & best decision only thing I regret on my end is I should’ve came sooner but hey late is better then never lol. You almost got the experience to apply for Walmart keep your head up wether you go with a different company or not when you get the 30months apply for Walmart & see how it is for you I mean you already know how the work is but this time you’ll get all the perks that Walmart offers!
Yes sirrrr just lasted 1 month at a smaller trucking company. Finally found a local flatbed job no touch freight that pays well!! Theres still good jobs out there. All u have to do is keep looking while employed at the bad company. Idc about my history of hopping companies. The companies always ask me what happened, i tell them the truth.
I agree especially the stuff about training. I just had an almost identical thing happen with Ashley PNW. They cut our local pay from 75.00 flat rate for local & 125.00 for California to $15.00/hr! The same for detention after the first 2 hrs. I left them fri the 20th because of that and too many other things to name. Thank you for putting this video out there. Drivers do need to organize for sure, as a driver who drove truck back in the day when most our work was done for free I don’t want and can’t afford to go backwards!
DAM you hit the nail on the head !!! i cant even put in my 2 cents you covered everything !Your too good of a driver and have alot of people skills to land any job you want ! You are more educated than alot of college grad i"ve worked with in my 30 plus years in the corprate world ... Good luck in your endeavors.
BRO UNION TRADES (I.e plumbing, roofing, electrician, etc) make 55-60 hr after 4 years you get 40% of that to start no experience!!! You get raises depending on hours you do because apprenticeship is completed within 8k hours. Mon- fri 8 hours a Day. Plenty of OT!!!! Holidays is double time. Something trucking never takes into consideration. You are bulletproof on a skill not many can do. Side jobs! You aren’t limited to DOT BS laws. Become journeyman
Side jobs are still subject to city inspectors which can be just as bad as d.o.t I worked in construction for years and saw a lot of contractors get screwed by city inspectors. Trucking is still a good trade you should get back into it, you told me you were making good money more than 60k I don’t know why you quit.
I started at CR england in 2014 my contract was 9 months I left in 4 months and only had to pay about half what they tell you in the class because they pro rated it and the do it in monthly payments you dont pay it all upfront. I still drive truck today but starting to think about finding another career because they have too many idiots out here and the automatic just means no one is learning how to drive the truck.
Telling facts. I worked for another Mega trucking company, and they violated my Home Time. They left me in PA and had to pay my own way home to Cali. It’s just sad how the trucking industry is now and am in the process myself looking for a local job that pays by the hour
@@bonniegardner1154not bullshit... there are many Create drivers making 6 figures. With the per mile pay plus extra stop pay and the safety/productivity bonuses, a Create driver can make over $100,000 a year.
You got the right attitude I retired seven years ago after 24 years on the road. Try and find a smaller company with maybe only a couple hundred trucks you might do better good luck.
This is the case with so many companies. They forget all too quickly, when things go south, who got them where they are!... and it ain't the noob, straight out of school! For this reason alone, many companies are eliminating their overhead, getting rid of experienced drivers, bringing in shit talent. Then the "new, inexperienced" drivers cost them more money in damages, late fees, no shows, complaints ( both customers and drivers), OS&D category, wear and tear on their equipment, CSA scores go through the roof. Then after the "new" school guys have run their course, these companies look for "new, old school" talent, bump the pay up, but keep all the stupid rules and regulations and ball busting morons in charge, who require you to work overtime for shit pay, drive the once new, now shitty equipment, work holidays and weekends, and sacrifice your home time and good benefits to serve them. These companies can't understand, that it was their 1st step in cutting good drivers, that ruined them for life and put them in this endless cycle.
Word of advice. If you are driving on the highway and you see an ENGLAND truck, stay as far away from that truck as possible. Between the two people in the truck....there maybe ( and I stress maybe) 1 year of combined experience. They are more dangerous than swift. And that say alot.
Had one hit me backing in to a dock - 6 doors open and he tried to blindside right next to me - took off my mirrors, steps and almost punctured my tank before he pulled forward and ripped his brand spanking new trailer door off. I had to call his safety because he didn't know how - he asked me if I thought he was in trouble, told him to find a new career. 6 weeks total driving experience and was by himself. Sad thing was I was driving LTL and was ahead of schedule on a Friday lol.
Get to west Texas oilfield bro , I’m out here hauling crude oil get paid per load $300 to $600 per day…average 100k to 180k per year, no weigh stations , high demand especially with this economy. Most crude oil carriers are behind on loads, man camps available in some areas.
@mrstarroe4213look online maybe indeed crude oil driver jobs or Sand driver jobs around Odessa tx, pecos tx or Carlsbad Nm. Many companies are looking for drivers due to high demand. Most companies average $80,000 to $120,000 yearly. I'm doing crude oil out of pecos texas, average $2500 to $3500 weekly. So many drivers don't last long because they feel they are over worked. And alot of drivers don't want to make $10,000 or $14,000 a month ( not motivated)
The mega carriers are putting the little guys out of business, by offering huge discounts on shipping rates. Making it hard for the small companies to survive. They are cutting your pay so they can kill off the competition. Back when I started in 2006. We were paid $.28 per mile and it was air miles so you would often have to drive hundreds of miles a week for free.
I was a driver and office supervisor for CRE/Walmart for 8 years. I agree with what you are saying. When i was a driver we had to fight for fair pay on the walmart account because people who worked the account for 2-3 years were still getting paid the same as someone coming into the account straight for CRE joke of a school. So we had a tier pay put in place for the drivers that you got s pay raise every year on your loads until you maxed out at 8 years plus and that was because when CRE AND WALMART sit down and talk contracts, walmart always wanted less from the CRE drivers. So if i were you bro, if you can, apply for the walmart dis in porterville. They will grant your years driving for the walmart account and might even bump your pay. Give it a try. Hope this video dont get you fired, but i am pretty sure albert has called you in his office already if he still the account manager for your account lol.
That's 90% of every trucking company😂 prefer to hire tons of new drivers than pay more to the skilled drivers! I've hopped so many trucking jobs in the first year of getting my CDL. Local jobs want to pay $20-$23 an hour for driving 80k lbs and backing into tight spots in the city and the jobs that pay CPM want to pay 40-45 cents disgusting
Congratulations you just figured out there business model! Leave them as quickly as you can. You’ll be amazed how much more there is out here. I was with them for 8 years as a trainer. I did buy and pay off a truck with them. Took that truck to Landstar and never looked back.
Went to school at CR England. Didn’t show how to drop a trailer, sliding tandems and a bunch of other important stuff. Had a “trainer(only been driving 8 months)” come pick me up and we went from waxahachie to North Carolina, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania to Oklahoma in 1 week. They sent me a check for $65.38. I left the “trainer” in Oklahoma. Haven’t looked back. That was in 2017 so it will be off my credit next year. “ They train, they hire, guaranteed”. What’s also guaranteed is you will be in every state, but you won’t even be able to afford 1 dinner plate. Drivers who shouldn’t even be driving a car will get their CDL there.
Just know that many states are now trying to pass legislation that will allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a CDL. They're already allowed to get a regular driver license in more than 20 states. Our borders are wide open and these people are willing to work for extremely low wages. Once that happens, driving a truck will become a minimum wage job.
Thank you Agustin for what you have done at CR England sometimes we don’t get the appreciation that we do for other people (companies) or other people I’m gonna be coming on board in a couple of months. Thank you for all the info.
Let me give you insight on dedicated accounts. CR England has a contract with Walmart, which means they provide trucks and drivers specifically for them. Since you guys experienced a pay cut, I'm guessing the contract ended and was renegotiated. If that's the case, considering the current freight market, it was probably renegotiated at the current freight market rate, which is lower compared to before. Many mega carriers that have dedicated accounts ending this year or next will likely face the same outcome. Now a lot of companies driver will feel what the owners operators are feeling on current situation.
You are absolutely correct, As you mentioned, basically new drivers can easily replace you guys. Unfortunately, from a business perspective, that would be the best approach since they have new driver coming left and right. Additionally, I have noticed that many local job postings now require a minimum of two years of experience.
This a great video, you couldn’t have explained what’s going on in the trucking industry any better. I hope you have much success in your future endeavors. 👍🏿
Run, run as fast as you can from C.R england. That family that runs it is all lawyers. Do you know how many lawsuits they have and had? Terrible company!
Hi, I just joined crete. I highly recommend coming into the reefer division. I've been averaging 800 miles a load and many drop & hooks. I love it here.
I walked out last week due to this similar issues. No extra paid for staying out waiting for load. Any trucking accepting no experience will absolutely not paid driver what they are worth. I move on and found another trucking with a week. Experience paid!! Don't comply with low cent paid
What up Augustine! That's crazy that any company thinks more about their pocket than their one employees but it happens and now there's a shift. Eventually if it eve happens like you said, it won't be right away yet. We're living in a time where people want more out of their jobs than just mistreated and taken advantage of. Stay safe out there man and see you next video!
I used to work there. I can tell you that company sucks. Now I'm working for a small family-owned company and I'm very happy here and making much more money.
Supply and demand. A couple of years ago due to lack of druvers , they could name their price....you gotta expect the reverse on the way down now that demand to haul product has tanked
If you have a banana tree in the back yard, the bananas in your kitchen will lose it’s value. This is the philosophy of mega carriers who has a trucking school system.
You are correct about the evolving door and getting rid of skilled labor. I’ve seen this in other labor markets, particularly health care. A corporation came in and laid off all the higher salaried, skilled employees. Then turned to new low experienced workers, from housekeeping to physicians, to manage the hospital. What’s crazy is the government went right along with it. Same thing is going to happen to trucking. Corporations will seek out lower skilled, exploitable employees.
You aint wrong brotha🫵🏼 im currently working for cr too, 10 months in and when my year is up im gone!! The pay is too low to be an otr driver especially the detention pay and layover pay, just makes no sense, you’re probably right they’re cutting pay for people that are more experienced and keeping it low for people that dont say nothing, MESSED UP
This is some of the reasons why I went and bought my own truck. I get my loads from two different load boards. Best thing I ever did. God bless truck driver's.
The gospel young man I drove for CR England 10 years ago and I had more experience than my trainer I had to go with them because I needed a refresher course because I had been out of the truck for more than a year I had more total over the road experience than the guy who was supposed to be training me he had never driven in snow he had never used chains he hadn't been in the mountains on the west coast so it was like I was training the driver for them but you were supposed to be training me for you 100% right bro I hope you find something better know you're worth young man
I worked at c r england in 1987 and 1988. They had 105 trucks. We were treated like gold. Good drivers good company. The grandsons took over and they seemed to want to grow at any expense The easiest place to cut expenses was driver pay.
Damn! Man I’m sorry to hear about that happening to you especially during Driver Appreciation. What you should consider is going O/O. Things are a little tough all over with the trucking market still being down. but there’s still money to be made in trucking. I hope it works out for you and I’ll definitely be checking out your other videos.
Experienced trucker here, my advice is to boycot these multi million/billion dollar companies by not working for cheap. They dont pay you for working your life away, don't work for them.
I met a new CR England driver on a dollar general account while I was with Werner. I by no means loved Werner but they guaranteed me 1400 a week minimum at the time as long as I was on that account. The CR England guy was capped at 700 a week on that account. If they dropped a rolltainer they would be charged 50 per rolltainer. They couldn’t keep CR England drivers ok that account and it showed why. For the labor and bs and that pay … it’s sad. Companies treat new and experienced drivers like shit. We’re all expendable. There’s no “family” or rewards for “loyalty” at the end of the day were a necessary cog in a poorly maintained machine and if they think we can be replaced to up productivity or increase profit we we will be.
I went through the school at CR England and I guess everyone is different but for myself and everyone else in my class we got 2-3hrs A day of driving on the highway along with city and back in this industrial area where we practiced our right and left handed turns. Granted I'm not with CR England anymore but I will say I received very good training while I was in Salt Lake City, Utah. I guess maybe things have changed with what you're saying about getting 1hr of highway time but this past April of 2023 they were allowing us to get allot of highway time in. Good luck to you brother!
Currently watching you in my CRE sleeper in Oregon with the dollar general account outta Sacramento. I felt the same way when I was at the training in Colton. And I realized I wasn’t shit to them when I was in Salt Lake City and I was shut down for “forgotten maintenance” for three days and at the corporate office the corporate officials eat good restaurant food everyday for free. And when I asked if we (the driver who make them their money) eat for free, they guy in the black vest literally laughed in my face. That, and the way they want me to make these tight ass windows for delivering, not having our(the drivers) back when problems come up, and getting mad if I stop to shower after being snowed on or busting my ass in 100° weather. Needless to say I am currently applying for anything else.
Did Collision repair 40 yrs,,, all commission work,, when there was no work and we were sitting around doing nothing we did not get paid one cent.. it was especially slow work at Thanksgiving and Christmas time as people wanted to keep their cars with them rather than sitting idle in a repair shop... Which ment we made hardly any money during the holiday season... Wish that I got paid for sitting around waiting like the truckers do...
You hit the nail on the head the way you describe it. It's your mindset. You say other trucking "companies" won't hire you ... Your focus is more on being a company man for these big companies that look at a DAC and a bunch of unnecessary BS for the hiring process, rather than smaller companies that treat you better, pay better, Don't have cameras and trucks, don't micromanage you, and are more worried if you have a clean driving record, can pass a drug test and a quick driving test. Maybe it's cuz you're new I don't know but one of the first big steps you need to take is stop thinking of all the big companies that come to mind to work for
@@augustineramos_ Yes well I didn't mean it to come off as disrespectful against you sorry if it seemed that way, it just does upset me how these big companies treat you guys and as an experienced driver which to me nowadays anything over 18 months with a clean record, it's night and day difference how some of the local P&D, fuel, agriculture, port container, and lots of times random companies you wouldn't think of that you find on indeed treat you AND pay you compared to any of the megas. And seriously consider the UPS feeder seasonal truck driver position as something you could probably start like ASAP, And there is a good chance not guaranteed of course but that they will keep you on. At a minimum it's something to look forward to that you can do every year for 2 to 3 months.
I went through England's driving school back in the early 90s after 3yrs I was getting outrageous timeline runs my dispatcher would never looked at the time vs distance and ride me to get the load in on time after about the third time I ask for a new dispatcher I lived in SLC and spent up three months at a time on the east coast finally I got a load to SLC and cleaned the truck out never looked back went flatbed O/O retired now. England produces drives at an industrial level, works the new drivers to the point they quit with in 6 months to a year if you get past that, and you're a good earner they work you to the point you want out too, and that was when you could actually get real mileage not like today low mileage and even lower pay
My buddy and I worked for a company in the Bakken Oilfields. We were driving to the East coast to return two rental trailers and stopped somewhere in Pennsylvania to do our 30 minute break. On the way out, a truck pulled up next to us and asked if we could help them. Brand new rig, team drivers, brand new trailer, out of Canada and they were out of DEF and didn't know what was wrong. Being that we worked in the Bakken, we always carried extra everything, my buddy emptied his plastic jug of DEF into their tank and we explained to them how to go back to the fuel pump and fill their DEF tank. I could understand not knowing what a DEF was back in 2010, maybe, but in 2017....not so much. I would like to know if the owners of CR England go to work and sit there for hours with no or little pay.....I bet not, but that is what they want for their drivers. Same old story and sadly, it is not only going on in the trucking industry.
there are many many stories about CR England from back in the day, most of them are not good. they never cared about their drivers, i see some things never change
Employers get a tax credit worth thousands of dollars for hiring people out of public assistance. These people never last long, but employers still get to keep the credit, and they depend upon this churning attrition to keep generating more tax credits. Lucrative!
Telling it like it is. Theres still some good smaller trucking outfits. I too started with a big outfit i wont say the name but they are from texas. Now for the past two years i been on at a smaller outfit and its like night and day. I agree with you and hopefully the videos you post about cr england and the videos of others will reach most of the folks considering a job with cr england
After losing my factory job I had for 35 years I got my CDL through the state for being a displaced worker. I started at Roehl with the intent of doing a year or two of OTR and finding a local driving job. After six months my wife had her fill of my being gone and so did I and I quit.

You are 100% correct brother about questioning Authority and nonsense policies. Just as everybody in the country should be questioning the last 3 years of all this nonsense
And sentencing Jan 6ers and the orange clown.

Thank you for speaking out. It's people like you who makes a positive impact in our industry. Truckers where making $0.45 per mile in 2005, which supposed to be $0.95 per mile today. Most truckers are making $0.65 or less which is just ridiculous
Got my cdl with England in 2011. What a horrible company. Thankfully I only was with them 9 months because I was in the military. I'm still receiving money from a class action lawsuit with them. You have to not be afraid of finding a new job, it's your best option.
What was the lawsuit for
I worked for them in 2003-2004.
I got mine through them, quit after 6 months, now I am doing local and pay way good more then what I was making at CR
You’re on point.
They make money off the school first and loads second.
Oh, I didn’t mention their truck leasing scam.
Tell us about the truck leasing scam or it can be good
In 2006 they tried to get you to lease a truck.
The only way you could possibly make any money was to lease and drive as a team non stop.
I rode with a trainer who’d leased.
He gave me all the in and outs but I know they made no sense and weren’t profitable.
Luckily I decided against it and he drove until his lease was up and he left.
I’m still fb friends with him till this day.
He said it was the smartest thing he did was to get out from under his lease.
He said he would go broke unless he had a trainee or 2 onboard at all times.
My cousins first job was a bank teller, no college, worked up to management as a branch manager for 20 years making pretty good money, bought a house in orange county, nrw lexus' all the time, then bank was bought out, and she was replaced, also asked to train her replacement 20 years her junior and getting paid half, there is no secure job.
What's the lesson here?

Every single Mega carrier is responsible for the horrible state of trucking
It’s their plan by design
Thank you for your insight! You are a good ambassador for truckers . . . I appreciate your integrity.
You're speaking facts, brother. I gave trucking 5 years of my life I could not see myself doing anything else but, I'm just done with it all after think about all the bull crap you deal with it's just not worth the mental stress I rather be home and happy than dealing with bullcrap.
I work for Swift and we’re gone through so many pay changes too. Like you said they rely on the school … difficult times in the trucking industry right now .
I worked for them as a trainer and kicked drivers off the truck all the time. I would tell them to meet me at the yard at a specific time to start their phase 1. If they were not there with in 15 mins of that time I failed them and left. I would get to the yard to drop off my current student and take a 10 hour brake so I would be fresh for the new guy and was always under a load when changing out drivers so I couldn’t wait for them. Besides if they can’t be there to start on time they can’t be expected to make their deliveries on time.
I had some real scary students; 1 guy pulled a knife on me because I told him he had to drive a full shift not just 4 hours. Another student I caught smoking crack, another guys drive off and left me at a test area when we stopped to hit the head. Never checked to be sure I was back in the sleeper when he got back. He drove past me totally oblivious to what was going on around him as he drove off. Had my cell phone and everything else in the truck. I had all students leave their
Phones in the sleeper while driving to avoid distractions. Had to call the state police and send them after the truck to tell the guy to turn around and come back for me. And it only got worse from there. cRE wasn’t scrapping the bottom of rhe barrel they where digging under it to put asses in seats.
I find it funny you failed to mention the ONE thing that would make trucking fair and quickly change..
To be paid BY THE HOUR!! It was exempted almost 100 years ago from the Fair Labor standards act..
With technology today.. There is not 1 reason truckers cannot be paid by the hour with overtime!!
Come to UPS. We have sleeper teams and they get PAID. Plus retirement and health benefits COMPANY PAID
I started out at England in 2016. I got on the trainer track and started training six months in. I know a lot of people freak out about people who start training early, but at least in my case, I stood by it. Training brand new drivers is an amazing learning experience. But in addition to that, I was new enough that I could get into the heads of new drivers. I went on to train again in the future, but I was better at it when I was new. Anyway, I was at England for a year and a half, out for 5-6 weeks at a time, home for a weekend. My next job was a big pay raise, running solo, low stress, five days out. I should have gotten out so much sooner. Now I'm running local, making six figures on 50-55 hours a week. Know your worth, folks. There's good jobs out there. They're even sometimes at the big carriers. Just gotta find em.
Will said Augustine I started with that company 25 years ago. Worked with them for six months left the company and never look back. There’s too much money to be made running local home every day I haul fuel locally and I make $2000 a week Monday through Friday 10 hours a day
What company if you don’t mind me asking bro? I finally got all my endorsements. My hazmat endorsement should be in the mail today. TSA already cleared it. Now I have doubles triples, tankers and hazmat endorsement. About 20 months experience. 🤔
Jat energy out of Chattanooga Tennessee. They only run local. They have a office in Cartersville, Georgia and a satellite office in Nashville and Birmingham Alabama. But their main office is in Chattanooga Tennessee.
Kudos to you for sticking with CRE for 2 years brother! There are plenty of smaller operations out there that will see your dedication as a positive. Even if CRE fires you for speaking the truth, that's a truth that these small companies already know. You should have no problems finding a job with a decent company. Best wishes for you and yours man!
It's been like that since I've been alive 49years..once you know too much in any industry your not hire-able...They call it over Qualified...Basically don't want you coming in strong minded know just as much ,most of the time even more than a lot of the Bosses, associates...Your supposed to have started your on business at that point..In trucking you can speed that process up by decades...Absolutely anybody can drive a Rig in a week or so of training..Question is who will last...10-10 Truckers can become Dispatch and brokers but 1 out of 10 brokers/Dispatchers can become (Truck Drivers)...The only way is to out preform by staying out 2+ months at a time, once any Trucking company tries to cut my pay I leave...also stay away from Driver/Mill companies..Go with a small fleet company or a nitch like fuel/oil fields etc...Get hired Directly from the place your drop&hook at [Walmart] you'll be treated much better all the way around
You are absolutely right and great person for speaking out.
Meanwhile he was paid millions on salary thinking about how he can cut your pay.
Sorry that happened to you, I started with CR England & I stayed with them for 2-1/2 years on a dedicated account which was Abbott Nutrition I had a good run for the most part best outcome I had was training & had a great trainer which I was fortune for that because I know others in my class had it rough with trainers but long story short I drove for CR England, Pro Truck Lines, Trimac & the 3-1/2 years with Walmart private fleet has been the best company I’ve been with & best decision only thing I regret on my end is I should’ve came sooner but hey late is better then never lol. You almost got the experience to apply for Walmart keep your head up wether you go with a different company or not when you get the 30months apply for Walmart & see how it is for you I mean you already know how the work is but this time you’ll get all the perks that Walmart offers!
Yes sirrrr just lasted 1 month at a smaller trucking company. Finally found a local flatbed job no touch freight that pays well!! Theres still good jobs out there. All u have to do is keep looking while employed at the bad company. Idc about my history of hopping companies. The companies always ask me what happened, i tell them the truth.
I agree especially the stuff about training. I just had an almost identical thing happen with Ashley PNW. They cut our local pay from 75.00 flat rate for local & 125.00 for California to $15.00/hr! The same for detention after the first 2 hrs. I left them fri the 20th because of that and too many other things to name. Thank you for putting this video out there. Drivers do need to organize for sure, as a driver who drove truck back in the day when most our work was done for free I don’t want and can’t afford to go backwards!
I figured that out after a couple of years with them, I don't regret it because I had to start somewhere, but I'm happy I left.
DAM you hit the nail on the head !!! i cant even put in my 2 cents you covered everything !Your too good of a driver and have alot of people skills to land any job you want ! You are more educated than alot of college grad i"ve worked with in my 30 plus years in the corprate world ... Good luck in your endeavors.
Thanks for the support! Stay safe out there.
All Mega Carriers Are The Same, Only Difference Is The Color Of Their Trucks
You right, I unload truck,all i see is young new drivers. Some of the drivers tell me they only train for 2 weeks
I had one tell me they hadn't been driving for more than 2 days.@@wesleyperkins9038
I was on the DG fleet out there in CA bro I left CRE after three years this past April 2023. When it’s time to go, it’s time to go! God Bless
We're you based on Lebec, CA?
BRO UNION TRADES (I.e plumbing, roofing, electrician, etc) make 55-60 hr after 4 years you get 40% of that to start no experience!!! You get raises depending on hours you do because apprenticeship is completed within 8k hours. Mon- fri 8 hours a Day. Plenty of OT!!!! Holidays is double time. Something trucking never takes into consideration. You are bulletproof on a skill not many can do. Side jobs! You aren’t limited to DOT BS laws. Become journeyman
Side jobs are still subject to city inspectors which can be just as bad as d.o.t I worked in construction for years and saw a lot of contractors get screwed by city inspectors. Trucking is still a good trade you should get back into it, you told me you were making good money more than 60k I don’t know why you quit.
I'm considering switching to a trade after this year. This industry is horrible.
@@meadows-GFCsame here! This is the least respected job out there and it’s not a life skill to hold onto I mean all you do is hold a steering wheel
Lol I work 50 a hour driving trucks for the city and I barely drive like that , trucking is good to me 😂
I started at CR england in 2014 my contract was 9 months I left in 4 months and only had to pay about half what they tell you in the class because they pro rated it and the do it in monthly payments you dont pay it all upfront. I still drive truck today but starting to think about finding another career because they have too many idiots out here and the automatic just means no one is learning how to drive the truck.
Telling facts. I worked for another Mega trucking company, and they violated my Home Time. They left me in PA and had to pay my own way home to Cali. It’s just sad how the trucking industry is now and am in the process myself looking for a local job that pays by the hour
When an why
CR England never had top tier talent 😂. They are a training company. You know nothing, you learn a little and you leave, that’s it!
Fact
fact thats what i did
Facts😂 i did the same thing! This company is a joke!
Werner and swift also
Yup that's what I did as well
If you can do OTR come over to Crete buddy, I'm making 6 figures comfortably.
Bullshit
I heard the guys over at Shaffer made good money
@@SannarClaus i currently make 0.66 a mile, plus profitshare and safety bonuses.
Just don't run for Crete Carrier dedicated... Only OTR.. work for Costco dedicated waited hours for loads for free...
@@bonniegardner1154not bullshit... there are many Create drivers making 6 figures. With the per mile pay plus extra stop pay and the safety/productivity bonuses, a Create driver can make over $100,000 a year.
You got the right attitude I retired seven years ago after 24 years on the road. Try and find a smaller company with maybe only a couple hundred trucks you might do better good luck.
This is the case with so many companies. They forget all too quickly, when things go south, who got them where they are!... and it ain't the noob, straight out of school! For this reason alone, many companies are eliminating their overhead, getting rid of experienced drivers, bringing in shit talent. Then the "new, inexperienced" drivers cost them more money in damages, late fees, no shows, complaints ( both customers and drivers), OS&D category, wear and tear on their equipment, CSA scores go through the roof. Then after the "new" school guys have run their course, these companies look for "new, old school" talent, bump the pay up, but keep all the stupid rules and regulations and ball busting morons in charge, who require you to work overtime for shit pay, drive the once new, now shitty equipment, work holidays and weekends, and sacrifice your home time and good benefits to serve them. These companies can't understand, that it was their 1st step in cutting good drivers, that ruined them for life and put them in this endless cycle.
❤
Word of advice. If you are driving on the highway and you see an ENGLAND truck, stay as far away from that truck as possible. Between the two people in the truck....there maybe ( and I stress maybe) 1 year of combined experience. They are more dangerous than swift. And that say alot.
Had one hit me backing in to a dock - 6 doors open and he tried to blindside right next to me - took off my mirrors, steps and almost punctured my tank before he pulled forward and ripped his brand spanking new trailer door off. I had to call his safety because he didn't know how - he asked me if I thought he was in trouble, told him to find a new career. 6 weeks total driving experience and was by himself. Sad thing was I was driving LTL and was ahead of schedule on a Friday lol.
Get to west Texas oilfield bro , I’m out here hauling crude oil get paid per load $300 to $600 per day…average 100k to 180k per year, no weigh stations , high demand especially with this economy. Most crude oil carriers are behind on loads, man camps available in some areas.
@mrstarroe4213look online maybe indeed crude oil driver jobs or Sand driver jobs around Odessa tx, pecos tx or Carlsbad Nm. Many companies are looking for drivers due to high demand. Most companies average $80,000 to $120,000 yearly. I'm doing crude oil out of pecos texas, average $2500 to $3500 weekly. So many drivers don't last long because they feel they are over worked. And alot of drivers don't want to make $10,000 or $14,000 a month ( not motivated)
Our local hospital is looking for ER doctors, you should apply.
Hee hee 😜
The mega carriers are putting the little guys out of business, by offering huge discounts on shipping rates. Making it hard for the small companies to survive.
They are cutting your pay so they can kill off the competition.
Back when I started in 2006. We were paid $.28 per mile and it was air miles so you would often have to drive hundreds of miles a week for free.
Go to local job like LTL, Fuel hauling, or food service.
Company suggestions?
I was a driver and office supervisor for CRE/Walmart for 8 years. I agree with what you are saying. When i was a driver we had to fight for fair pay on the walmart account because people who worked the account for 2-3 years were still getting paid the same as someone coming into the account straight for CRE joke of a school. So we had a tier pay put in place for the drivers that you got s pay raise every year on your loads until you maxed out at 8 years plus and that was because when CRE AND WALMART sit down and talk contracts, walmart always wanted less from the CRE drivers. So if i were you bro, if you can, apply for the walmart dis in porterville. They will grant your years driving for the walmart account and might even bump your pay. Give it a try. Hope this video dont get you fired, but i am pretty sure albert has called you in his office already if he still the account manager for your account lol.
That's 90% of every trucking company😂 prefer to hire tons of new drivers than pay more to the skilled drivers! I've hopped so many trucking jobs in the first year of getting my CDL. Local jobs want to pay $20-$23 an hour for driving 80k lbs and backing into tight spots in the city and the jobs that pay CPM want to pay 40-45 cents disgusting
Congratulations you just figured out there business model!
Leave them as quickly as you can. You’ll be amazed how much more there is out here.
I was with them for 8 years as a trainer. I did buy and pay off a truck with them. Took that truck to Landstar and never looked back.
That's where they Got the Advantage , because they Paying for the School they benefit off of it
Went to school at CR England. Didn’t show how to drop a trailer, sliding tandems and a bunch of other important stuff. Had a “trainer(only been driving 8 months)” come pick me up and we went from waxahachie to North Carolina, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania to Oklahoma in 1 week. They sent me a check for $65.38. I left the “trainer” in Oklahoma. Haven’t looked back. That was in 2017 so it will be off my credit next year. “ They train, they hire, guaranteed”. What’s also guaranteed is you will be in every state, but you won’t even be able to afford 1 dinner plate. Drivers who shouldn’t even be driving a car will get their CDL there.
Just know that many states are now trying to pass legislation that will allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a CDL. They're already allowed to get a regular driver license in more than 20 states. Our borders are wide open and these people are willing to work for extremely low wages. Once that happens, driving a truck will become a minimum wage job.
Thank you Agustin for what you have done at CR England sometimes we don’t get the appreciation that we do for other people (companies) or other people I’m gonna be coming on board in a couple of months. Thank you for all the info.
Let me give you insight on dedicated accounts. CR England has a contract with Walmart, which means they provide trucks and drivers specifically for them. Since you guys experienced a pay cut, I'm guessing the contract ended and was renegotiated. If that's the case, considering the current freight market, it was probably renegotiated at the current freight market rate, which is lower compared to before. Many mega carriers that have dedicated accounts ending this year or next will likely face the same outcome. Now a lot of companies driver will feel what the owners operators are feeling on current situation.
What I was getting at in this video was corporate greed, cr England has the money to do right by their drivers and they don’t.
You are absolutely correct, As you mentioned, basically new drivers can easily replace you guys. Unfortunately, from a business perspective, that would be the best approach since they have new driver coming left and right. Additionally, I have noticed that many local job postings now require a minimum of two years of experience.
This a great video, you couldn’t have explained what’s going on in the trucking industry any better. I hope you have much success in your future endeavors. 👍🏿
Run, run as fast as you can from C.R england. That family that runs it is all lawyers. Do you know how many lawsuits they have and had? Terrible company!
Hi, I just joined crete. I highly recommend coming into the reefer division. I've been averaging 800 miles a load and many drop & hooks. I love it here.
I walked out last week due to this similar issues. No extra paid for staying out waiting for load. Any trucking accepting no experience will absolutely not paid driver what they are worth. I move on and found another trucking with a week. Experience paid!! Don't comply with low cent paid
Take a little time in your life to learn about punctuation and how to use it. Reading your comment was painful, to say the least.
@@curtriedel5036 cleaning my ass hole only takes a few minutes
What up Augustine! That's crazy that any company thinks more about their pocket than their one employees but it happens and now there's a shift. Eventually if it eve happens like you said, it won't be right away yet. We're living in a time where people want more out of their jobs than just mistreated and taken advantage of. Stay safe out there man and see you next video!
Word of advice, look for companies that specialize in specific industrial goods or hazmat. Thank me later.
Hey, glad to see ur channel growing, especially all the views on this vid. U put in the work, u deserve it!
I used to work there. I can tell you that company sucks. Now I'm working for a small family-owned company and I'm very happy here and making much more money.
@4:14 PAM/Driver Solutions/C1 Truck Driver Training does the same thing. So many people have a CDL now it's becoming worthless.
Cost of living is going up that means I need a raise not a pay cut bye bye
Supply and demand. A couple of years ago due to lack of druvers , they could name their price....you gotta expect the reverse on the way down now that demand to haul product has tanked
Well said my friend. Speak the truth.
Listening to this guy for 13min reminds me that truckers are not brain surgeons. Thanks for sharing 😂😂😂
Don't be a d
We’re having the same problem I work for Chrysler as a driver corporate CEOs do not take a pay cut either
Lower standards, ha. When no one else would hire me, well here I am. You said it best, it's a start.
When I trained with CRST 11yrs ago, I had 33 minutes of actual driving time, and never backed the truck once and still got my CDL
You're right all companies are doing the same thing
I agree, that's 1 of the reason I walked away after 24yrs.
As for Union, been there done that, they don't do nothing for ya
Only on master freight contracts
If you have a banana tree in the back yard, the bananas in your kitchen will lose it’s value. This is the philosophy of mega carriers who has a trucking school system.
You are correct about the evolving door and getting rid of skilled labor. I’ve seen this in other labor markets, particularly health care. A corporation came in and laid off all the higher salaried, skilled employees. Then turned to new low experienced workers, from housekeeping to physicians, to manage the hospital.
What’s crazy is the government went right along with it. Same thing is going to happen to trucking. Corporations will seek out lower skilled, exploitable employees.
CR England is in trouble they about to go broke. Boss comes down and you loose pay.
I been trucking for 23 years I agree with you 💯 👍🏼
"I'm unionizing my feet and I'm applying at jobs" 😂😂😂
You aint wrong brotha🫵🏼 im currently working for cr too, 10 months in and when my year is up im gone!! The pay is too low to be an otr driver especially the detention pay and layover pay, just makes no sense, you’re probably right they’re cutting pay for people that are more experienced and keeping it low for people that dont say nothing, MESSED UP
This is some of the reasons why I went and bought my own truck. I get my loads from two different load boards. Best thing I ever did. God bless truck driver's.
ORGANIZE WITH YOUR UNIONS. IT WORKS
The gospel young man I drove for CR England 10 years ago and I had more experience than my trainer I had to go with them because I needed a refresher course because I had been out of the truck for more than a year I had more total over the road experience than the guy who was supposed to be training me he had never driven in snow he had never used chains he hadn't been in the mountains on the west coast so it was like I was training the driver for them but you were supposed to be training me for you 100% right bro I hope you find something better know you're worth young man

I worked at c r england in 1987 and 1988. They had 105 trucks. We were treated like gold. Good drivers good company. The grandsons took over and they seemed to want to grow at any expense The easiest place to cut expenses was driver pay.
I hear HM England pays good. One requirement is that you love tea. Cheers.
Damn! Man I’m sorry to hear about that happening to you especially during Driver Appreciation. What you should consider is going O/O. Things are a little tough all over with the trucking market still being down. but there’s still money to be made in trucking. I hope it works out for you and I’ll definitely be checking out your other videos.
Experienced trucker here, my advice is to boycot these multi million/billion dollar companies by not working for cheap. They dont pay you for working your life away, don't work for them.
I met a new CR England driver on a dollar general account while I was with Werner. I by no means loved Werner but they guaranteed me 1400 a week minimum at the time as long as I was on that account. The CR England guy was capped at 700 a week on that account. If they dropped a rolltainer they would be charged 50 per rolltainer. They couldn’t keep CR England drivers ok that account and it showed why. For the labor and bs and that pay … it’s sad. Companies treat new and experienced drivers like shit. We’re all expendable. There’s no “family” or rewards for “loyalty” at the end of the day were a necessary cog in a poorly maintained machine and if they think we can be replaced to up productivity or increase profit we we will be.
Haven't heard very much good about C.R. England
I went through the school at CR England and I guess everyone is different but for myself and everyone else in my class we got 2-3hrs A day of driving on the highway along with city and back in this industrial area where we practiced our right and left handed turns. Granted I'm not with CR England anymore but I will say I received very good training while I was in Salt Lake City, Utah. I guess maybe things have changed with what you're saying about getting 1hr of highway time but this past April of 2023 they were allowing us to get allot of highway time in. Good luck to you brother!
Even if you're young, in today's America the way they work you like a slave, your health will be gone in no time way before you hit 60.
Man u spit nothing but facts...💯...and your delivery kept me captivated....💯
I see lots of foreign drivers on the road. They work here and send their money back home to their country
Currently watching you in my CRE sleeper in Oregon with the dollar general account outta Sacramento. I felt the same way when I was at the training in Colton. And I realized I wasn’t shit to them when I was in Salt Lake City and I was shut down for “forgotten maintenance” for three days and at the corporate office the corporate officials eat good restaurant food everyday for free. And when I asked if we (the driver who make them their money) eat for free, they guy in the black vest literally laughed in my face. That, and the way they want me to make these tight ass windows for delivering, not having our(the drivers) back when problems come up, and getting mad if I stop to shower after being snowed on or busting my ass in 100° weather. Needless to say I am currently applying for anything else.
Switch to the lebec dollar general distribution In lebec dry loads are so much better. I make 2k a week everyother week with CRE
We make 1-3 stops 85$ a stop 55 cents a mile. And an additional 85$ a stop for each sweep. Over 1.5k every week and 2k every other week.
Schedules aren't strict and get every weekend off also btw if you do leave don't forget to use your payed time off.
After 33 Years I am still learning (You never stop learning) keep an open mind
I worked for England, Chicago Intermodal for 8 years and 8 months. Finally moved on to an hourly company. I feel you bro.
Martin Brower is doing the same bs. They have taken away the good pay and brought in new drivers.
Did Collision repair 40 yrs,,, all commission work,, when there was no work and we were sitting around doing nothing we did not get paid one cent.. it was especially slow work at Thanksgiving and Christmas time as people wanted to keep their cars with them rather than sitting idle in a repair shop... Which ment we made hardly any money during the holiday season... Wish that I got paid for sitting around waiting like the truckers do...
You should have, when your at work your spending time there so your employer needs to spend the money to pay you PERIOD.
Apparently there is a severe driver shortage...
B.s!
You hit the nail on the head the way you describe it. It's your mindset. You say other trucking "companies" won't hire you ... Your focus is more on being a company man for these big companies that look at a DAC and a bunch of unnecessary BS for the hiring process, rather than smaller companies that treat you better, pay better, Don't have cameras and trucks, don't micromanage you, and are more worried if you have a clean driving record, can pass a drug test and a quick driving test. Maybe it's cuz you're new I don't know but one of the first big steps you need to take is stop thinking of all the big companies that come to mind to work for
Maybe your right
@@augustineramos_ Yes well I didn't mean it to come off as disrespectful against you sorry if it seemed that way, it just does upset me how these big companies treat you guys and as an experienced driver which to me nowadays anything over 18 months with a clean record, it's night and day difference how some of the local P&D, fuel, agriculture, port container, and lots of times random companies you wouldn't think of that you find on indeed treat you AND pay you compared to any of the megas. And seriously consider the UPS feeder seasonal truck driver position as something you could probably start like ASAP, And there is a good chance not guaranteed of course but that they will keep you on. At a minimum it's something to look forward to that you can do every year for 2 to 3 months.
mega carriers only good for mandatory time. after a year go find a real job. otr is garbage these days. lot of better paying cdl -a jobs
I went through England's driving school back in the early 90s after 3yrs I was getting outrageous timeline runs my dispatcher would never looked at the time vs distance and ride me to get the load in on time after about the third time I ask for a new dispatcher I lived in SLC and spent up three months at a time on the east coast finally I got a load to SLC and cleaned the truck out never looked back went flatbed O/O retired now. England produces drives at an industrial level, works the new drivers to the point they quit with in 6 months to a year if you get past that, and you're a good earner they work you to the point you want out too, and that was when you could actually get real mileage not like today low mileage and even lower pay
They're looking for slaves nothing more...
My buddy and I worked for a company in the Bakken Oilfields. We were driving to the East coast to return two rental trailers and stopped somewhere in Pennsylvania to do our 30 minute break. On the way out, a truck pulled up next to us and asked if we could help them.
Brand new rig, team drivers, brand new trailer, out of Canada and they were out of DEF and didn't know what was wrong. Being that we worked in the Bakken, we always carried extra everything, my buddy emptied his plastic jug of DEF into their tank and we explained to them how to go back to the fuel pump and fill their DEF tank.
I could understand not knowing what a DEF was back in 2010, maybe, but in 2017....not so much.
I would like to know if the owners of CR England go to work and sit there for hours with no or little pay.....I bet not, but that is what they want for their drivers. Same old story and sadly, it is not only going on in the trucking industry.
there are many many stories about CR England from back in the day, most of them are not good. they never cared about their drivers, i see some things never change
Employers get a tax credit worth thousands of dollars for hiring people out of public assistance. These people never last long, but employers still get to keep the credit, and they depend upon this churning attrition to keep generating more tax credits. Lucrative!
Also they get a big tax break for vets and bigger for disabled vets.
@@theTIVANshow I don't think you get my point.
@@JG-tt4sz the point is your driving a slow truck , making 1/2 what the national average is for a company driver and not happy
Telling it like it is. Theres still some good smaller trucking outfits. I too started with a big outfit i wont say the name but they are from texas. Now for the past two years i been on at a smaller outfit and its like night and day.
