History
C.R. England was started by a father and his two sons, whose background began in farming. The first 50 years of business involved navigating the challenges of an amateur interstate system and industry; through hauling potatoes and creating the 72-hour coast-to-coast offering, C.R. England competed with larger players. Within 10 years of Chester starting the business, the Great Depression hit; Chester's idea to save his business was to work harder and smarter, and the company survived through the 1930s with hard work and determination. Those qualities continued through the 1940s and World War II, during which his sons Gene and Bill served the country and later returned home as decorated war veterans. The next 50 years were full of innovations, major growth to keep pace with industry demands, and a continued passion for trucking. Today, C.R. England is a trucking company still run by truckers, and the company states it has been moving America's freight safely since 1920.
