Culture Matters — How C.R. England Delivers on Being Family-First

At C.R. England, family isn’t just a value- it is the backbone of everything that drives us forward. As a family-owned business, we believe in fostering a culture where everyone — from our drivers, office staff, maintenance teams, and more — feel like part of the family. This family-first mentality is at the core of our success and helps create a supportive environment where employees thrive, and long-term careers are built.
But how did we get here?
A Legacy 100+ Years in the Making

Founded over 100 years ago in 1920, C.R. England was built on the vision of a family that saw trucking as more than just a business; it was a way to create opportunities, provide for families, and make a positive impact on the community. As the company grew, the commitment to maintaining a strong, family-oriented culture remained unchanged.
From day one, the values of trust, respect, and hard work were instilled in the company’s DNA. Today, those same principles guide C.R. England’s operations, shaping the way we do business and how we treat our employees and customers.
Family Values in Action


At C.R. England, family values are more than just words — they’re actions that drive what we do. We put family first by ensuring that our employees and drivers have the support and work-life balance they need to succeed. We offer flexible schedules that allow drivers to spend more time at home with their loved ones. Additionally, we prioritize mentorship and guidance, that creates a supportive environment where new drivers pair with experienced mentors to help them grow and develop in their careers.
This family-first mentality translates directly into job satisfaction and career success. Our employees benefit from a work culture that encourages open communication, mutual respect, and personal growth. For our drivers, this means receiving the training, resources, and encouragement needed to build successful careers. Whether it’s celebrating milestones, offering ongoing training, or providing a listening ear, C.R. England is here to help every member of the work family succeed.
We also offer opportunities for career advancement, such as becoming a mentor, moving into management roles, or exploring specialized driving routes. Our commitment to career growth, paired with the support of a family-oriented culture, creates a positive and lasting impact on everyone who joins the C.R. England team.
Commitment to Community and Family Outside the Workplace
Our family-first values extend beyond the walls of the office and into the communities we serve. C.R. England commits to giving back through charitable initiatives, community events, and programs that support families in need.
Through the ONE Initiative, we’ve partnered with organizations that specialize in fighting childhood hunger.
Here’s how we make it happen:
- Financial Contributions – C.R. England and our partner organizations raise funds to support meal programs for children.
- Food Donations & Partnerships – We work alongside food banks and nonprofit organizations to ensure nutritious meals reach those who need them most.
- Employee & Community Engagement – Our employees and drivers actively participate in fundraising events, food drives, and awareness campaigns to maximize our impact.
Since launching the ONE Initiative in 2018, we have provided over 12 million meals to children across the country. But it’s not just about the numbers — it’s about the real difference being made in communities. By helping ensure children have access to meals, we are giving them the foundation they need to succeed. We’ve seen firsthand how a simple meal can bring hope to families and relieve the burden of food insecurity.
