OK, My first full calender year with Crete (Jan-Dec) 2007 has passed and I thought I would show the actual numbers.
Anyone that has spent any time on this forum knows that there are endless opinions , good and bad, about every trucking company. What is often lacking is actual facts.
Anyone that has read my posts know that I am pro Crete. I am not a recruiter, just a driver that is proud of my carrier. They are not perfect, as a matter of fact they can actually get me hot under the collar on a regular basis. But what it actually comes down to is the paycheck at the end of the week.
With that said.
The intention of the following information is to give just that. Facts without opinions. I would love to see other drivers for all companies do the same, to some extent anyway. Let the other drivers on this board know what kind of money can be made. If people would stop driving for the bottom feeders, the day would come when these companies might have to stop paying slave wages.
The chart below shows the miles for each run of the past year. Please note miles are posted on the day the load was delivered and monthly totals are not adjusted to show partial miles for trips that begin in one month and end in another.
The following will show various breakdowns of the mileage chart above.
Days lost due to Breakdown: 0
Total Layover days: 0
I was going to post my final paystub also, but it seems the payroll website is acting up today and I can't pull it up. But for now, here an approximate but very close to actual pay information for the year. Please note that my pay increased from 41cpm to 42cpm in September.
My final pay check on 12/27/07 for miles run through 12/21/07 was aprox $61,500.
Final Pay 2007 $61,500.00
Less: First paycheck 2007 for last week of 2006 - 575.23
Add: First paycheck 2008 for last week of 2007
including 1week pd/vac # $1154 + 1612.59
-------------
Gross pay for 2007 $62,537.36
Some of you will note that if you add 139,453 by 41cpm that it doesn't come up to 61K+. The additional pay is due to Detention pay, Stop Pay and other various accessorial pay that is more detailed than I care to get into.

i was glad to see a positive posting by a Crete driver, not that i see very many negative ones. keep up the great job.

evertruckerr,
That are some impressive numbers for a truck driver. I can see you put quite a lot of work into it. That is more than a lot of "suits" make in a year. The only question that I have is, how much was your net income? I think drivers need to know that after all expenses, taxes, benefits and incidentals are paid. It could potentially steer drivers to your company. There are a lot of drivers out there looking for a great company. Lets see if you can help.

What kind of truck were you in? Also, do they hire from Florida and offer regional? The only reason I ask is that I am trying to find a company that does regional in Fl. Those are some impressive numbers and I admire your work you put into this post.
Huntercstefan Thanks this. -
EverTrucker, where is the majority of there freight? Or freight lanes? I live on the west coast, so my question is, would I be stuck on the east coast until my hometime? Also, do you get a choice of 3 loads? Are they really 3 different destinations? Just curious, Ive been aproved by Crete recruiters, now I'm waiting on the Safety Dept. I'm looking foward to making .41+ cpm. Drive Safe
cstefan Thanks this. -
