Comments about ‘Trucking company donates to University of Utah business school’

Very cool gift! Thanks to the Englands!

It's amazing that they have 3.5 million to give away yet they seem to have a hard time paying back all the money they cheated their lease owner operators out of.

SPECIAL REPORT: Federal judge rules against C.R. England in OOIDA case

In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Ted Stewart found that the company's
independent contractor operating agreement is "unconscionable." The
judge ruled that the operating agreements are so one-sided as to
unfairly surprise an innocent party. He found that there is an overall
imbalance in favor of C.R. England and against the drivers in the
rights and obligations of the parties under the agreements.


In particular, the judge noted that during any dispute between C.R.
England and a driver, the company has control over the driver's money.
The agreements allow C.R. England to choose whether to go to court or
to bring a claim in arbitration. Also, C.R. England has the right to
sell its claims to a collection agency and avoid the cost of either
arbitration or a lawsuit.


yep! C.R. England a true role model for a business school.
