Truck Driver Interview

Bonnie and Greg Cochran started their careers as team drivers for C.R. England in September, 2011 and have never looked back. The Cochrans have been married for almost a year now and currently run a dedicated C.R. England route for Wal-Mart in Wyoming. According to Bonnie and Greg, signing up with C.R. England was the best decision they could have made.

Before making their decision to come and drive with C.R. England, Bonnie and Greg researched a variety of trucking companies. What they found was that most trucking companies had a negative online reputation, and that it was hard to find the difference between all the choices. Switching their tactics, the Cochrans decided to speak with successful drivers on the road. Once they did this, Bonnie and Greg quickly learned that C.R. England was the company for them.

The couple promptly applied to C.R. England and found themselves matched up with "a great recruiter". After a smooth application process Bonnie and Greg found themselves on their way to Salt Lake City, UT to attend truck driving school. At the school, the couple had a positive experience and found themselves quickly learning the tricks of the trade. While they did hear some of their peers making negative comments about their time with C.R. England, Bonnie and Greg noticed those students were at school for the wrong reasons and did not last long with the company.

After graduating trucking school and completing their training, Bonnie and Greg were able to set out and start their career as a husband and wife driving team. Bonnie and Greg enjoy their lives together on the road, "Driving together has really strengthened our relationship," the couple said. "We literally have to trust each other with our lives each and every day." Now that the couple has had a few months of driving under their belt, Bonnie and Greg are getting ready for the winter season. As a team, Bonnie and Greg have already gotten a taste of how life on the road will be during the snowy season and say they are prepared to take it slow and always remember safety first.

When speaking with a representative from C.R. England, Bonnie and Greg Cochran were asked where they would like to be in 5 years. The couple replied that they are living their goal. A great job where they can be together and make money on the road, Bonnie and Greg are happy with their decision to drive for C.R. England, and don't see that ever changing.
