CR England is Switching Things Up

CR England recently announced that they will be switching things up a bit with new management. Zach England, former Vice President of England’s Intermodal division, has accepted the position as Vice President of the Dedicated division.

As a part of England’s new responsibilities with the Dedicated division, he will be responsible for some of the company’s most prestigious accounts. This division is responsible for more than 20% of the company’s revenue and includes more than 1,150 trucks and 1,500 employees.

CR England Dedicated helps truck drivers have a more meaningful life off the road with ample home time, while also providing drivers with more responsibility while on the road. With the Dedicated division, truckers can still live the life of a trucker, but they don’t have to make the same sacrifices that over-the-road truckers do. Driving Dedicated also means you know what to expect from your freight. With an OTR truck driving job, you can be hauling freight for one company then switch to something completely different with your next load. With Dedicated, you know who you will be hauling for this time and every time. You are Dedicated to that customer.

Taking Zach England’s place as Vice President of the Intermodal division is Coby Bullard. Bullard comes to England from BNSF Railway where he held multiple positions such as Sr. Market Manager, Director of Operations Support, and Director of Domestic Intermodal.

C.R. England’s Intermodal division is similar to Dedicated in that there is consistency. However, with intermodal trucking, you are hauling containers to and from a shipping yard and the customer you are hauling for varies. Intermodal routes are not usually as long as over the road or dedicated routes, and drivers often have the ability to be home most nights.  Under Bullard’s supervision, the Intermodal division of England is expected to grow and develop, bringing both opportunity and employment to CR England.

With the changes of leadership, the company is hopeful of the future. Of the change, England’s COO, Chad England said the following, "Today's leadership announcements are significant as they indicate a continued commitment to strengthening the leadership of the company with a broad base of capable and talented individuals. Zach represents the strength of the fourth generation of family ownership that is now stepping into major roles in the company. Coby brings to C. R. England a talented, new perspective that will help us grow our intermodal presence."

CR England is indeed growing, and will continue to grow as time passes. While there may be many changes in the company, such as management changes, one thing stays the same and that is trucking. From the beginning England has been dedicated to the trucking industry and to their truck drivers and that is one thing that will not change.
