Crete Carrier - A Year In Review - Fall 2013 Going Forward

What??
Tell me you are "joking"...
And you are in the national division, right?

 

Yes where I can run a average 600/day

 

What I saw on their website is: for the southeast division, 1 and half day off or weekend off for every week or 5 days on the road...
That's not what I want... I want 2 to 3 months on the road and 7 or 8 days off...
One driver told me they would allow that...
Recruiter... I don't go by what they say...
Do you know if the dispatchers for the southeast regional are in Marietta?
I would like to know from them.

 

Highest paying dedicated so far is the Tennessee to Michigan loop. Haven't run it or asked about it but must be a reason they haven't filled at the pay/hometime being offered.

Routes would take you through Nashville and Indianapolis during traffic times everyday.

 

Wait a minute..
What is the average length of your hauls? I would assume that in the national division you guys would get 1500 runs.. Or more.
But you said that you are running 310 miles a day... for the last 4 days? Why?

 

Where are they asking you to help? I've actually done pretty well at N Platte and Mankato.

 

I am not driving for Crete... yet.. Considering so far to apply for the southeast regional...
And it seems that the southeast does WM, Unilever, Kimberley... And I guess I would be running only in the southeast...?

 

Yeah.. I don't want Michigan.. don't want to go north or northeast or west coast... don't care about the pay... I want to stay in the south and southeast.

 

You going thru bad weather? Problems with equipment? Why are you averaging 310/ day when you could be running 600?

 

What's your homestate? Regional pretty much should keep you in that area. However I've heard from a driver who is regional out of Texas who got sent all the way to Chicago when no one else was available to take the load.

Hometime should be same as national. I believe they do require you to stay out at least 12 days on regional since us national have to stay out a minimum 18 days. I stay out 2 months at a time and take 1 week off with no problem.
