C R England Inc has announced a multi-million-dollar pay increase for drivers in the Over the Road Division (OTR). This represents the largest driver compensation increase in the 98-year history of the company and will impact approximately 60% of C R England’s driver force, now making all the firm’s driving jobs among the most competitive in the industry.
Chad England, the company’s chief executive officer, said, “C R England has always had a tradition of providing great jobs and great benefits for our employees. In an ever-changing and increasingly competitive marketplace, this multi-million-dollar investment in our drivers better positions us to attract not only those who come to us for training and are new to the industry, but also seasoned and experienced drivers who want a proven career path. Great companies seek to continuously improve, and this is another step in that direction for us and our drivers.”
The pay increase is just one illustration of the company’s position as a long-term career choice for drivers. C R England is an industry leader in length of haul and offers benefits such as top detention pay, referral bonuses and competitive health insurance plans. The firm also offers significant long-term career opportunities not only in OTR, but also in Training, Dedicated, Regional, and Intermodal Divisions.
Additionally, C R England drivers and office employees are part of the company’s overall commitment to help feed one million children each year through partnerships with local food banks nationwide. Through the One Initiative, every delivered load provides funding to feed a hungry child. Through May, almost 500,000 meals have been provided to food banks.
This pay increase will go into effect Thursday, May 31, 2018.
