gatorbreath is on a distinguished road
Default It's cr england or nothin'...help?

Well, it's been awhile since my last plea for help, but I'm at wits end. Been trying to get back into truck driving now that the bottoms dropped out of the construction business for quite awhile now. I've read so many horror stories about CR, but I'm thinking, "How bad it could be?". The job market is so bad now that desperate times call for desperate measures. This would only be a getting my foot back in the door deal because my goal is to haul fuel back home. Would this be a really big mistake?
Thanks for your input...Gator

It depends what part of the country you live at, and how often you want to be home. I suppose if you stick with them for one year the economy should be in a little bit better shape and you can move on to something else if you get tired of CR England.

Yeah. I hate OTR Reefers when the refrig unit cycles on when you are sleeping. Man that really sucks, especially if you are dreaming about sleeping with Angelina Jolie.

In the end, a bad job is better than no job, I guess it really depends on your situation though, if you are employed right now, I'd consider sticking it out a while longer but if your not working...well refer to the first sentence.
