C.R. England operates a large, asset-based fleet capable of meeting diverse shipping needs:
- 4,000+ tractors, 6,000+ trailers, and roughly 1,500 containers, giving the capacity to scale with customer demand.
- Ongoing investments in technology platforms — such as real-time tracking and routing systems — improve visibility, routing efficiency, and responsiveness across the fleet.
In 2025, C.R. England publicly supported major industry innovations — including endorsing a potential transcontinental railroad merger that would improve intermodal efficiency, reduce transit times, and cut fuel consumption for rail-linked freight. This reflects our strategic engagement with next-generation logistics solutions.
Safety and Professionalism as Operational Pillars
Safety remains at the forefront of C.R. England’s operations. We invest heavily in driver training, modern safety equipment, and strict compliance standards — all geared toward ensuring both driver and freight integrity.
While safety ratings and customer experiences vary across carriers in this industry, C.R. England’s historic recognition and invested infrastructure help mitigate many operational risks for shippers.

England has been recognized as an EPA SmartWay Transport Partner, demonstrating measurable efforts toward reducing emissions and enhancing energy efficiency.
The company’s One Initiative also channels social responsibility into action — donating a meal for every delivery to help combat childhood hunger. Such programs enhance community impact while reinforcing responsible corporate citizenship.
