Overview

C.R. England is a privately-owned, customer and employee-focused asset-based carrier that has been moving America's freight safely since 1920. It provides asset-based Dedicated, Truckload, and Intermodal solutions, and describes itself as a pioneer in the transportation services industry. The company is headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT, and operates four company-sponsored driving schools throughout the nation. It reports 1,200+ staff members, 4,000+ professional drivers, and 3,900+ tractors in service. England Logistics, a wholly owned subsidiary, is described as one of the nation's top third-party logistics firms.

History

C.R. England was started by a father and his two sons, whose background began in farming. The first 50 years of business involved navigating the challenges of an amateur interstate system and industry; through hauling potatoes and creating the 72-hour coast-to-coast offering, C.R. England competed with larger players. Within 10 years of Chester starting the business, the Great Depression hit; Chester's idea to save his business was to work harder and smarter, and the company survived through the 1930s with hard work and determination. Those qualities continued through the 1940s and World War II, during which his sons Gene and Bill served the country and later returned home as decorated war veterans. The next 50 years were full of innovations, major growth to keep pace with industry demands, and a continued passion for trucking. Today, C.R. England is a trucking company still run by truckers, and the company states it has been moving America's freight safely since 1920.
