Profile For England

Hello all,

Just curious...I have heard that all trucking companies will be switching over to automatics. Has this happened at CR England yet? I ask because i may go there for training.

Thanks

Are the TA's of America the most "modern" truck stops?

When did the shooting happen in Kentucky and what were the details? This is my first time hearing about this. I have been away from the forums for a while.

would trucking be a good job for an introvert?

I'm an introvert and I am looking forward to giving this profession a try.

Good info, Brett. So since I have never driven any vehicle that is not automatic, I should just wait until I am in a school to start learning the trucks?

So if one were to go to a starter school with a company that ONLY uses automatics, would the CDL have that on it?

Thanks Glad.

Hello all!

I heard a few months back that as of December 2016, CR England would have all automatic trucks or at least be phasing them in. Any truth to this?

Thanks to both of you. The FedEx sounds like something I could look into in the future.

Hello all! I'm curious about pensions. Do most trucking companies still offer pensions or just the 401K? Pensions are better since they are with one until death whereas the 401K is only good until the savings runs out. I looked up CR England and it seemed they only offer a 401K but I didn't look too deep so I may have missed something.

And if there are companies that still offer pensions, how long does one work/drive for the company before he/she is qualified for it?

Thanks!
