C. R. England is an American transportation company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company provides truckload shipping services across North America.

History

[edit]

The company was founded by Chester Rodney England in 1920.[1][2]

In the 1980s, C. R. England became one of the first trucking companies to adopt satellite monitoring systems to track its fleet and improve routing. The company also adopted technologies such as electronic data interchange links for invoicing.[3]

In 2017, the sole group of unionized drivers at C. R. England voted to decertify, ending their union representation.[4][5]
