I went to the indiana school for them. They left us stranded right out the gate and literally told us to "walk" mind you it's midnight and we was in a ahady neighborhood in Gary Indiana. They stuck is in a run down roach motel with 3 raids and a hostage situation all within the 2 weeks I was there. They lied about paying during training. They left us stranded 3 times saying "it's not our job to transport" like yes tf it is. Yall wouldn't let us drive and you made us take the greyhound. Cr england is the dog shit of all trucking companies
The trucking industry is ridiculous how they train people. I never been behind a 53 footer I went to Schneider after School they had me with a Mentor for 5 days then released me with my own truck doing western 11. Basically I tought myself how to drive a truck. 😂😂😂
I went to their salt lake terminal for training, a complete and total cluster beep. My first week was spent either in the classroom or riding in a truck, never got a chance to actually drive or sit in the driver seat until our first day of backing 30-40 students, one truck, one stressed out instructor. I ended up leaving and going to CRST. I ended up getting an unrestricted license. CR England was about rushing people through, CRST was about actually training and getting you ready for the road and being prepared for the job
C.R. England is really like a last resort company. If you have employments gaps or a felony that’s too fresh that other companies won’t take you THEY WILL. So I recommend you get your 6 months to a year experience then leave. Once you get that experience it’s easy to go to another company
i'm looking at knight just for that reason, no teaming while in training, most companies team after 4 or 5 days, but now KLLM just increase there pay from 45 cpm to 60 cpm just 2 days ago, listed on fox business news website, so now looking at them, that's a big pay jump worth looking at big time
Lol.. I want to get their little cdl after 12 days then let those mfs know the job ain’t for me.. scam them back for some of my homies who went thru it in the past😔. And go on with a better company with a cdl and just no experience.
The only thing with that is.. they make you sign a contract and they will come after you for the full amount and then some. They'll end up having your wages garnished.
@@Carnivore_Trucker I hear you. Some folks cant stay the full contract anyway though lol, I assume they just deal with it.. but garnished from what I hear folks are having the whole amount removed from their credit in a lot of cases and it not being even owed back! Depending on the credit repair group.. but more in the event of the guy who with 3 months can’t do their deal but. I’m basically ready to go for their cdl training here so shiii. 😬
Went to the Hammond Indiana school 20 years ago. Was the same then. Got my CDL with 15min of behind the wheel experience. Stuck it out 2 years of misery went on to a small company making the big bucks. England was like boot camp sucked at the time but now i look back and laugh.
Other driver told me his co-driver was lighting and throwing fireworks at him while he was driving.he was provoking a fight.poor guy ended up getting off the truck.
I lucked out with a good trainer but a terrible trainee 😂😂 but shittttt I got my training and 3 months time in a jumped ship as Soon as possible so my speed, to much unnecessary oversight. And Money was Too low starting out for me .
Thank you for your information. I'm going to CR England because of the free training for CDL BUT I'll be going to Georgia, Premier Truck Driving School, which has contract with CR England. Hoping it's not as bad as Salt Lake City, UT!!! I'll let you know. 🌹
holy crap, i just called them to get my CDL's... I am worried now that I wont be able to truly learn anything from other newbies other then what not to do. Should I go with them or flee while I still have the chance to do so? I hate my job I have now but I don't want to get stuck with a shit company either... What would you guys do?
I got my CDL through Schneider back in 2000. As a company they suck but their training process was fantastic, if you couldn't drive you were out of the program end of story. My trainer was a NYC guy with i beleive had 5 years experience and was super. He covered every base with me, pulled me from behind the wheel when he saw i was tired and just wanted me to be safe and learn how to handle the truck. Companies these days are pushing guys through that have no business being behind the wheel and like you said making guys trainers that are still inexperienced. Anyway i lasted 18 months with Schneider and they said i broke contract and had to pay them 5.000 dollars which i did because it was preventing me from buying a house after they put it in collections. That's my story i'm driving a local union daycab job 21 years later and i still use my trainers knowledge today.
@@Carnivore_Trucker it was! I’m 6 foot 2 myself, so i absolutely felt your knee pain! After that, i was GOINGto pass England’s school if it killed me as i wasnt going to ride that darn bus again!
Maybe that’s the method to their madness.. they make the bus ride suck so bad that you feel like you have to pass the test so you leave there in a semi instead of another bus 😂
Sounds like everything went well. You seem to have a problem with being a truck driver in general and with navigating new experiences. But I never heard you say anything that amounted to a "nightmare" brought about by C.R. England.

In 07, I already had class A cdl and I was forced to attend their school before I could drive for them.
I’ve had cdls since 94.
They suck.
I started with them in 2021 and it was 26 cents a mile 52 cent split. 😂😂😂
I went to cr england in 2017. It was a shit show, but i finished my year in CRE correctional facility and moved on with my experience
Same.
My co-driver was weird.he would close the curtains while sleeping with heater on high blast all time.i had the air on high HAHAHA

Even driving for FedEx Ground you have to team. I won't do it again no way especially with this covid
Trucking industry problem teaching drivers how to pass not to become professional drivers.

Don't feel bad , C. R. England scares everyone on the road
Yes they do! There’s nothing worse than being backed in at a truckstop, and seeing a CR England truck trying to back into the one next to you! 😳😬😱😫
i went to salt lake city school now i refer to all of them as red swift
The word has been out on this jacked up company for years now. How are they still in business??

My training was pretty much the same . I went to the school in burns harbor Indiana.
Other driver told me his co-driver was lighting and throwing fireworks at him while he was driving.he was provoking a fight.poor guy ended up getting off the truck.
9 month nightmare for me at cr.my Co driver was suicidal.he rolled the truck on the 9th month HAHAHA
14 cents a mile? What u talkin about bro? I got my cdl and I’m planing to apply. But 14 cents that changed my mind
That was in 2016
I parallel parked only one time in Barstow ca truck stop HAHAHA
14 cents a mile!? Now that is insulting to my soul, no cap!
You’re telling me! I just tried to grind out the contract and go somewhere else as fast as humanly possible.
How much do u owe them if u leave early

Did you go and how are things going hope all is well ?
How strict is the eye exam, DOT Physical
You just stand behind the line and see how far down you can go.. like a regular eye exam. I have to have my glasses because my eyes suck without them.
Why you left knight transportation?
I had an opportunity to work with another company that paid more money. I love Knight, and recommend them to anyone!

A bus that is insane!
It sucked! I went to training in Salt Lake City by bus from Connecticut.
I had to go from Atlanta to SLC on the Greyhound. That sucked SO bad lol
That would be terrible!

A white line nightmare with beautiful scenery HAHAHA

He said black guy was throwing fireworks at him.crazy.

No problem at all.
Just a matter of time... Sued for a truck load of $$$$
4 guys sharing a room lol no thx
4 bunk beds.. 8 guys 😩 lol

Bootcamp status
Pretty much. Although it was extremely laid-back and the instructors weren’t too bad. (At least the one I had)
My horrible co-driver made me a better driver
Lol really safe to record a video while driving.....
Exact same as talking on the phone... Which is not against the law. Soo....?
There is a difference, usually when you talk on the phone u don't look at it as well. Just saying. Keep on trucking bro
@@trkdriver985 lol either way.. it's legal

I am not a driver, but is this not distracted driving ?
Is it illegal these days ?
To be driving and focused in a camera and your story ?
You must work for them lm😂ao
