ENGLAND PUTS DRIVERS AT THE FRONT OF THEIR BUSINESS

BY DAN ENGLAND, C.R. England CEO

One thing trucking companies need to remember in the roller coaster economy of 2004 is that no freight moves without qualified, safe, and motivated drivers behind the wheels of their trucks. We strive to keep that in mind as we serve customers and take care of business at C.R. England.

England trucks have been rolling since 1920. We are a family-owned company, and do our best to help drivers feel at home here. A core value is that we want our drivers to be successful. One thing we are especially proud of is our recently enhanced lease program, second to none in the industry, where those who want to begin their own business can form a secure foundation for future accomplishment.

We recently announced a significant pay hike for company drivers, independent-operators, and trainees, that when coupled with our outstanding length of haul makes England a very lucrative place to work. In addition to our great rate per mile, we're also doing our best to make our drivers successful by sharing detention pay and stop pay, and providing a fair fuel surcharge reimbursement for independent contractors.

C.R. England has one of the largest freight bases in the industry, providing drivers and independent contractors consistent, maximum miles year-round. We also offer a comprehensive training program that is recognized as one of the best in the industry for its commitment to operating safety and performance.

Another outstanding advantage we offer is a career path that rewards drivers for performance and ambition. From entry-level positions like company solo drivers to top-level opportunities like Master Premiere Lease Trainer, C.R. England has opportunities that, I feel, are unmatched in the industry.

I'm intensely proud of our company and our drivers. If you haven't checked us out, you owe it to yourself to look us up on the web at http://www.crengland.com/, or by calling
