Thinking about joining Crete

Read this thread. It has about 3 years worth of one Crete employees experience. Full of great info.

Average miles/weekvaries by who you ask, but I've averaged around 11000 miles/month since the first of the year, except for Feb as I was home longer and it's a short month. I still had almost 10000 in Feb.

Getting you home depends a lot on where you live. I live in Iowa and have had no problems, but some areas are not so good.

I think you get 1 day off for each 6 out, with a max of 4 days at home.

No preplans usually. 1st empty 1st loaded. But I haven't had to wait extended periods very often. Usually get a load fairly quickly, sometimes there is some down time to pick up time though. Usually I keep moving pretty well. I made 3000 miles on the nose this week and I did a 34 reset while they serviced my truck in the middle of the week.

 

That must have changed then. When I was there, I used to stay out 2.5 months then take 10-12 days off. Actually, now that I think about it, it might depend on your terminal manager as well. I know that Janelle in Salt Lake would only let her drivers have a maximum of 8 days off.
