CRETE - A Year in Review

Evertruckerr,

Were you ever able to find out what your net income was? I think it would help a lot of people out in their decision.

 

My income was in the upper 30s, maybe even very low 40s for about 10 months' work. Understand I also took my full per-diem deduction on my taxes, which will save you about another 2-3 grand on 40K.

 

I would like to thank you for your info on Crete as it has helped me. I want to go work for them but I have one year before I turn 22, the required age. Is Schaffer any different than Crete or is it the same but hauling reefers? I saw Schaffer operates out of the Deland Terminal too. Any info is appreciated. Oh, do you leave the truck at the drop yard or take it home?

Crete and Shaeffer are owned by the same group: CCC. Shaeffer is a good company, and I base that on what I've read on sites like this one and heard on the road while driving.

 

king as youre an hour away they may want you too. call and ask would be my suggestion. deland is fairly small, so its hard to say.

 

some of thoise unpaid miles could be you using the truck for your personal uses... im not saying you do but just saying in general

 

FINALY, off to Crete next week, I'm looking foward to it!!!

 

KEEP US POSTED ON YOUR TRAINING.THANKS BEST OF LUCK

 

NO TRAINING, ive been driving over 5 years, just making a better pay increase! The only thing that will change for me is, I will be running 48 States instead of Western States! The pay increase will justify driving on the East coast (i hope)... And yes I will keep ya posted on how Crete is treating me. DRIVE SAFE

 

Good luck knighton5! I've heard nothing but good things from their drivers!
