Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I wasn't always with reliable companies as far as miles ...it was only the last 5 years I found companies that paid well
...like I was at wel companies, CFI and RTI......Crete is the first where I've made 63 cents per mile.....those others were in the 48 cent to 58 cent per mile... they didn't have the best benefits either....I enjoy Crete more too which is more important to me than the money necessarily....

 

As far as the mega carriers go in my personal experience Crete seems to have a higher quality of driver. If I were to ever have to leave the LTL sector and go OTR Crete would be on my short list of companies I'd look at.

 

Because money isn’t always the most important thing?? Because not everyone has the same mindset? Stop it.

there’s only two of us left on the old old pay plan. We both generally hit our mile goal for the month if we don’t take home time. The other driver only goes home a few times a year. They switched a couple of the low hanging guys who never hit their miles and they pretty quickly quit.

 

The one thing I’m really pleased about over here is the benefits and especially the health insurance. It’s some of the best I’ve ever had very hard to beat

 

Me too I never have to worry about a big bill....this insurance here pays really well for most regular check ups and meds too....

 

this was my gross pay after the last check of the year last night. Miles as of last Friday were 119,000ish. This is my best year, got the bonus 3quarters I think, going to get it this quarter. I hit $92k back in '22iirc, but dropped to about $80k in '23, but had some medical issues and things were an absolute mess. I absolutely have my issues here, but they seem more to be with the industry than crete itself. I dont want to switch companies unless id get a SIGNIFICANT increase in pay or work-life balance. It just doesnt seem worth the headache.
