Safety

We Are Family
Family runs deep at C.R. England. In this family, each individual matters. Through mutual respect and genuine care, we are here for each other.
Honor The Crest
The crest represents all of us in the C.R. England family. It reminds us of our past while we look to the future. As we honor the crest through integrity, professionalism, and pride in our work, our legacy will live on.
Community Driven
We are privileged to serve the communities that have supported us for over 100 years. We commit to provide essential services while embracing environmental sustainability. Through our One Initiative, we are dedicated to eradicating childhood hunger, one child at a time.
OUR STORY
We’re backed by four generations of strength, stability and hard work. Our founder Chester Rodney England built this company on entrepreneurship and an easier way to make a living than farming. Along with his two sons Gene and Bill, they began building one of the first refrigerated transportation companies in our nation.
COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
One of our core values is Safety. In a world of technology at our finger tips, it has never become a more crucial time to keep safety at the forefront of our minds through out of every element of our company. As an organization, we are committed to ensuring our drivers, team members and the public always return home safely to their loved ones.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We believe in giving back to the communities where we do business. We help fund and support the community in areas of social services, education and healthcare. The support isn’t just relational, it’s hands on at C.R. England. Many of our team members donate their time on a weekly basis at local food banks and much more.
OUR FOOTPRINT
We’re guided by a passion to serve our customers and a commitment to safety. But that’s not the only thing we’re passionate about. In the past decade, we’ve played a leading role among transportation companies in testing tractor and trailer aerodynamics, overall weight reduction and optimizing fuel economy and route selection. We’ve incorporated several CNG and LNG tractors into our fleets and continue to expand our footprint across the nation.
AWARDS & RECOGNITION
Delivering excellence is our mission and we take it very seriously. Whether it is our strategic partnerships with customers, our veteran programs, community service, technology innovation or sustainability initiatives, we’re thankful to be recognized.

“For your first trucking school, C.R. England’s partnership with Premier Schools is an excellent choice! Just keep in mind it’s a huge company and every driver’s experience can be different depending on who you know. Just talk to the people they can be extremely helpful. My experience was superb and my trainer was top notch, which is why I give a 5-star rating.”
“Despite the size of the company, I feel like an honorary family member as do many of my peers. One of the things I love about C.R. England is the fact that we place a ton of value on our drivers. They have a tough job and we know it. That said, there is a lot you can do to make the life of a driver better and our company is certainly committed to doing that.”
“Everyone is nice and respectful. You must have the drive to complete your CDL. They give you the knowledge skills and resources but you need to be responsible to practice and study. Don’t stress over the little things. The instructors are here to help. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. You will make a lot of new friends. Be willing to help those who are struggling and they will return the favor. I’m proud to work for C.R. England. Above all, keep an open mind and lots of patience.”
