CR England Reviews

I worked at CR England full-time for less than a year

Pros – the company is well positioned in the transportation market

Cons – no time for personal life, upper management try to create a position for one individual based on work load of 2 individuals. in some locations far away from headquarters it is common to see the classic "in-group" and "out-group" , so if an employee has a problem will have different outcome based in which group you are

Advice to Senior Management – middel management it is ok, the issue is with upper management with bigotry and attitude when suggestions are offered. the employees are expendable

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at CR England full-time for more than a year

Pros – If your homeless you can live out of the truck

Cons – To many. Everything is a scam here. I don't no if it is because it is a Norman owned business but very long hours of waiting for loads. Lots of pressure to sign the scam lease program.

Advice to Senior Management – None really. It seams this is the way America is now.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at CR England full-time

Pros – Good if you're an England.

Cons – Funny pep rallys called "I'm an England" supposedly get employees motivated.

Pros – Pay is good. Employees are close, making it a tight knit community. Good Job security.
They have a week of 'Employee Games' during the summer (free lunch and games). The company will continue to grow.

Cons – Company:
No work life balance.
Experience is valued over education.
Average employee works there for about 5 years before being moved up.
'Boys club' mentality, no women in management.
The busiest season for trucking is around the holidays - dont expect to get time off after halloween through the new year.

Customer manager position:
The amount of work expected out of you is more than can be completed in any 40 hour week, even at full blast, with all attention on work, with no breaks or slowing down. Management's attitude is if you really care about your job, you will come in early, and be available and responsive 24-7.
Managements looks down on employees that work less than 45 hours a week, their attitude being that you must need more work to do.
You cant take sick days. Even with a note/throwing up at your desk, management will verbalize that you should 'work through it'. If you have a sick kid - you will work from home (management does not provide a laptop).
When you first start, you will work monday - saturday for the first few months, then a saturday about once a month.
It is mandatory that you work 1-2 holidays a year. And since vacation time is given by senoirity, expect to work major holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years) for the first few years, and expect to not be able to take your full vacation time straight (1 week) - rather a day here, a day there. Vacation time is determined a year before you take it. Taking additional days unpaid will not happen. As I mentioned, the busiest season for trucking is around the holidays - expect to work 70 hr weeks.
There is a lot of inner-office drama as well.

Advice to Senior Management – Since the new generation of the England family took over - I really dont think management cares at all about their employees or what they think, only the bottom line. If just that alone changed, They would have a chance at reviving the employee moral. They are very removed from the employees since the company has grown.

I worked at CR England full-time for less than a year

Pros – give ANYBODY a CDL....i mean anyone with a pulse

Cons – lowest pay in the industry .12 a mile starting out o/o's get negative checks way too much negative to list...my job was picking up failed leased trucks, and i was always overworked .....worst lease program .90 a mile before they take out an illegal .14 a mile that no other company does

Advice to Senior Management – pretend you care and that your employees are human's and can't survive on the illegal pay you give

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at CR England full-time for more than a year

Pros – You can get a CDL fast if you are willing to put up with all kinds of dis respect and even bedbugs !

Cons – This company will lie to you and pressure you into signing a lease before you are even ready to be a company solo driver, let alone an IC. I have been broken down and in and out of serious problems and they could care less. DO NOT LEASE A TRUCK FROM THESE PEOPLE, you and your family will suffer. If you are willing to play their games, you are better off going company. You will scratch out a living making slave wages though, and NEVER get home until you quit.

Advice to Senior Management – Go to church and repent because you are not good Mormons, you are a band of evil crooks. Most of your SLC planners and DM are some of the worst in the industry. You have turnover like Burger King because you rip off IC's with your .14 cents a mile var. milage charge. Still have not figured out what I'm paying that for. You charge the cust 1.80 per mile, pay me .90 I pay for the truck and all expenses plus fuel. And out of my half I have to pay for the worst planners and DM's ever. Greed will be the end of CR England . Your reputation with drivers is the worst in the industry.
