C.R. England

CR England in my opinion has done an excellent job teaching even novices to drive. It takes diligent, dedicated concentration on the studies but most people can pass if they do the work. In my class people came from all over the world.

Wow I don't know where to start as there's a lot of good things to talk about. Let me start with England Premier Trucking Driving School. My initial hiring team did a great job to bring me on board to C. R. England, taking me through every step till my arrival at SLC, UT. Kudos Joshua Taggart & Vorite! Upon arrival to C. R. England there was that atmosphere everybody was treated as family and that was a joyful and relaxing feeling and down deep in my heart I knew I was in the right place to succeed in my ambitions, dreams and goals in the transportation industry. We were all given a warm welcome and started trucking school. I was assigned Noah my Backing Instructor and Clemente my Driving Instructor and also worked with all the other Instructors and they were all articulate and thorough in their training. All one needs to do is follow their instructions and that's almost a guaranteed One & Done during testing. Testing was equally an amazing experience and as normal, students are tensed before testing and the examiners try to relax us and they're very polite while doing their testing. During hiring process Mindy is one amazing and awesome person together with Christy and the entire management team. One thing that I have observed and struck me is the level of Safety Advocacy that C. R. England has and the care to see every body work safe and go home safe. That is a strong commitment that I am admiring and wanting to stay with C. R. England for a long haul to build my trucking career. C. R. England is the right choice and place to be and where you meet amazing and awesome people who treat you as family and also get the best of the best training and work environment above and beyond, excellence and professional team players!!! Thank you C. R. England for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the family and team!!! God bless you all abundantly

CR England will make you quit your job to work for them and then not hire you after hauling you out of state to their filthy facilities. They dont offer alternatives and wont work with you. Do not work for them or with them because they don't care about their drivers. Their training facilities have dirty beds with all sorts of disgusting stains, even cases of mold. Their recruiters are often MIA or ignoring their assigned drivers. If you are a driver who they mis treated, handled poorly or agree with anything written here please thumbs this up. Maybe there can be a class action lawsuit against this sort of treatment. This will be posted on every CR owned review to be found.

I would leave a zero star review if I could they put you through school no issue there. I do have an issue with Brian Baker a worthless dm that refuses to pay you. Avoid this company at all costs. Not worth the stress and worries to have to deal with it.

The school was great with excellent instructors and trainers. But I was a driver for a year and only being paid a maximum amount of $200 per month was absolutely unacceptable and inhumane. For a company that claimed to take pride in its drivers that the biggest worse joke I've ever heard. The worst part is no matter how much I begged for help and begged to be paid so I could eat and survive there was always an excuse for it all. So not only will I never return but I'll never recommend anyone to drive for CR England

Beware Drivers recruiter will lie just to get you in the door they will lie about how much money you would make.

Over all the instructors and staff are nice and helpful, they give us much help as they can achieve our CDL, the dorm rooms are the only thing I don't like here, is dirty and air-conditioner are loud you can't sleep with

The job itself was good, but the pay was disappointing compared to other companies. Management was solid, but the compensation was the biggest drawback.

The best part of working here was driving and the support I received in obtaining my license. There wasn’t much stress, and the work environment focused on getting the job done. A typical day involved gaining valuable experience behind the wheel.

After nearly a year with the company, I had consistently ranked among the top drivers. However, just two weeks before Christmas, they informed the fleet that our jobs would end on December 30. Days later, they suddenly announced that half the fleet had only one week left, forcing drivers to make an immediate decision. Those who chose to leave were told there weren’t enough loads to keep them busy, regardless of their new job start dates. The company’s motto is “we are family,” but I never truly believed it—until this moment, ironically.

As an experienced driver with a clean record, I sought a challenging job that prioritized safety and efficiency. The workplace was productive and enjoyable, but the pay wasn’t great.

A good place to start, with decent pay. However, I wished for more home time, which they didn’t seem to prioritize. If you’re single and don’t have family obligations, this job might suit you.

The pay was far lower than advertised, and recent management changes made the workplace worse. Dispatch rarely answered calls, and the company treated drivers poorly. If you want to be lied to and undervalued, this is the place for you.

The pay was good, with solid loads and standby pay when no loads were available. Communication was strong, but truck maintenance needed improvement. The hardest part was being away from home for long periods, especially when dealing with poorly maintained trucks.

We worked 12 to 16 hours a day, and fatigue counted against us. After a 14-hour shift, there was barely any time left for basic needs like eating, showering, and unwinding before bed. Proper rest is essential, but the job made it difficult to get 6–8 hours of quality sleep. Slip seating meant constantly switching trucks, and many coworkers lacked cleanliness. There was no work-life balance—it was all work.

A good place to get training and complete your first year. The pay wasn’t great, but it was a solid starting point. I worked on the Target fleet in Rialto, handling no-touch freight with drop-and-hook loads.

Decent for beginners, but once your contract is up, it’s best to move on. Miscommunication and dishonesty were common, and they struggled to get drivers home on time.

The training was poor, and the company found ways to take advantage of drivers. Home time was nearly impossible to secure. Overall, the experience made me regret becoming a trucker.

I enjoy working, but the lack of personal time is frustrating. Even after running hard for three weeks straight, dispatch finds ways to keep drivers on the road, especially when short-staffed. I rarely have time to handle personal matters due to being OTR five days a week. While I love driving, I still need time off to avoid burnout. This company will push you to the limit if you let them—especially if you’re new.

The best part of working here? Being forced to complain about a trainer they wanted to assign. The most stressful aspect was not getting enough practice pulling up to docks—it was always rushed. The work environment wasn’t friendly, as everyone was worried about their job security. A typical day was chaotic, with even safety personnel breaking rules to meet deadlines. The company operated on double standards.

The company maintains its equipment well, and the trucks look great. They have a strong client base and offer more miles than most drivers could ask for. As a national carrier, they’re tough to beat.

I worked on the PODS fleet OTR. The job was easy, well-paid, and kept me moving. I consistently finished my day before 3 PM while covering 500–600 miles daily. Only three months of experience were required. My truck wasn’t the best and frequently broke down, but dispatch always handled repairs quickly.

The best part of working here was the opportunity for career advancement and training. The most stressful aspect was learning to operate a semi-truck trailer.

The company had three fleets, but only the OTR fleet received good pay. The two local fleets were underpaid, and management didn’t seem to know what they were doing. Drivers were treated poorly.

An average company with no major complaints. They paid what they promised in the flatbed division and were understanding. Orientation was smooth, and experienced drivers got their own hotel accommodations.

The best part of working here was the environment—it felt like a second home. The most stressful aspect was managing delivery times and return trips. The work culture was friendly and supportive. A typical day involved receiving an assigned load and heading out, either locally or to destinations like northern states or Nevada.
