Profile For Rodney B.

I've been doing a huge amount of research lately. I will say though I have no experience with any company, just thinking about my options at this point. I have seen a lot of bashing about many companies and you can generally get a feel for the BS part of most of it. However I will say this; By far the most negative comments about any company I have yet to see is against CRE. Most have to do with the failures of getting pushed really hard to take a lease right out of training. Many though talk about the pay and how much their attitude changes when you turn a lease down in favor of being a company driver. The only CRE drivers I encountered at truck stops were either company drivers that went through their program years ago or owner ops. I asked about the new company drivers and was just laughed at. Evidently they have a pretty bad reputation for treating you like crap in the company sponsored program, pushing you too hard and fast thru the program, and hard selling brand new people into leases. It sounds like they are completely aware that only 1 out of 25 will actually make it the 9 months but dont really care (especially if they got you on a lease and you have to turn it back in). I want to state again though: " I am not a class A CDL holder and I do not have any personnel experience with CRE." But due to the nearly 5 to 1 complaint ratio they have compared to all other companies, I will not be choosing them. I just dont see that many people being wrong or lying. Plus I never ran into a new company CRE driver at a very large and busy truck stop.....
