C.R. England

This company recently assumed a dedicated contract to haul for Smithfield Foods. Unfortunately, the logistical operations did not institute effective protocol and/or procedural measures before assuming this contract.

There are quite a few stories that have been and could be told, but the most egregious that I have been exposed to is the inducement/coercement to accept a load which I could not legally deliver due to insufficient hours of available service.

After contacting the Logs Department at C.R. England and informing them that I had to refuse a load due to Hours Of Service limitation, someone immediately accessed the electronic log system and changed my available hours of service available for the day from 6.00 to 14.00.

I am quite sure that if the Department of Transportation Enforcement Division were to ever get wind of such behaviour(s), C.R. England would be none too happy with their Transportation efforts at Smithfield.

P.S. Smithfield has come under U.S. Federal Government scrutiny for illegal processing of their product(s). I guess "birds of a feather . . . " do indeed " . . . flock together".
