Successful Independent Contractor Who Wants to Share his Secret to Success

Paul Bass has been with CR England for 14 years and counting. He has just received his million miles on time service record certificate with CR England. He earned this through communication, good trip planning, being organized, working well with others, and his safe driving record.



As a successful independent contractor, Paul has a good sense of business. He feels successful at what he does and knows a few secrets of the trade that he is open to share with new drivers.



As a hard worker, Paul knows the importance of organization, good work ethics, working well with others, and safe driving habits. He knows that to be successful, a driver has to be pro-active and plan out the trip ahead of time. This gives the driver less wasted time on the road and more pay, due to a plan to be followed.



From Southern California, he enjoys riding his Harley Davidson and going to the beach. One of the many things that Paul likes is that he is able to see his almost 102-year-old Grandmother on a continuous basis because of his trips on the road. He also appreciates his financial freedom to do the many things he enjoys in his personal life from the income he receives as an independent contractor.



Advise for new drivers? He has plenty of good ideas. First and foremost, be honest. “Run your logs legal.” And “Develop good relationships with whoever you work with.” This includes OPS, payroll, your driver manger and even logs. And lastly, give driving a chance. Don’t quit before you began.



Congratulations Paul on your Million Miles achievement with CR England.
