Great for a startup driver

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
If you've just gotten a CDL, this is the company to get your feet wet. They test your driving and backing skills for a day and if you're good, they will put you with a trainer for 5 days. After that you get your truck. Be safe out there and get your experience.

Pros

Great for getting driving experience

Cons

Takes 15 years to get .65 CPM

Horrible home time and pay

They expect you to drive and drive without paying good enough to motivate you to work harder. The fleet manager I had was horrible couldn't spell simple words with made the little communication we had difficul to understand. Wasted too much time on this company and made pennies for all the driving that I did.

Terrible/cheap company

Their pay scale is 10 years out of date. Even for no experience, they are cheap. And find every possible reason to not pay. Layover is way too often. Their 4 days home a month isn’t good for any human.

Pros

Na

Cons

Terrible pay and home time

Wouldn’t recommend

I wouldn’t recommend this company at all. When I started they tried to lock me into a 9 month contract, and the biggest problem with that was I didn’t make any money. I was sitting in there main yard the whole time for truck issues and they had the worst possible trainer to train me. Very unorganized

Dollar General Fleet great… corporate not so much

Loved driving for the Dollar General fleet. Great management and GREAT pay. The downside is corporate will fire you over any stupid reason, like a single speeding ticket… that you eventually were found not guilty for.

Driving in the open road, Sitting behind the wheel driving 6 to 11 hours a day.

The hardest part. Sitting behind the wheel driving 6 to 11 hours a day. I learned to operate an 18 wheeler safely. The management is very company orientated. I gust did have good times and not so good times working with C.R. England. But in the end I had gotten sick and could not work for about 6 months. I never received the short term disability benefits benefits that I was insured for until I was forced to returned to work. I had not fully recovered and still under recover treatment. On the very day I was reevaluated to return to work I was informed that my benefits was to be payed.

Pros

There's always lots of work.

Cons

There is hardly any time to take a break, ever.

Management is toxic

I worked a few weeks and had to leave for the sake of my mental state. Management is very toxic they belittle you, gaslight you, and if you don’t suck up they write you up constantly. They don’t have a training program, instead they sit you with multiple people and hope you figure it out. If you don’t and say you were never taught that particular job you will be written up for it. Even though they don’t have any proof someone showed you how to.

Pros

Get experience to be hired at Swift

Cons

Management is toxic

Fair

I learned basic skills in trucking and learned the rest on my own. I had a great trainer that was understanding and enjoyable to be around during the learning process.

Pros

Not much experience required

Cons

Unorganized

CR England is a money making machine that takes advantage of there new hires who are barely learning and trying to make their way in this industry.

There is a system designed to make you fail and a work culture that is cold and does not truly care to guide you and help you succeed in this chosen career. The general work span is 6 months for most new hires, because they are constantly being replaced by new coming student drivers from their Driving Schools. Which is enrolling 150 students a week like clockwork nonstop and although funded by the government to enroll students they also bill the students up to 10k for 1 month of school. No real practice of driving nor skill set is being implemented because they were extremely short staffed at least at the time I was there.

Pros

You can obtain your CDL by CR England

Cons

Low Pay

Unfair and bias

Supervisors are great if you’re on their list of favorites. They’re petty when you don’t go above and beyond for the company. Pay is great but the benefits are trash. PTO once a year and no paid holidays. If your wheels ain’t rolling or theirs detention pay owed you won’t be seeing that till you bug them for two weeks. Sups are on salary pay so they don’t give a flying one for your money. Good luck and keep trucking!

Cool, just the pay is not that good

Worked for them around a year and I actually liked it. I used to work for their Dollar General fleet. It was a little physical but at the same time kept me fit.
