Yeah I did call back. I spoke to another recruiter, he was cool. I was just in shock I guess because the way everything was going I thought I was going to get the hook up with a great company right out of school. When the previous recruiter stuck it to me I felt like I was touching my toes. LOL. But its all good. I looking into Watkins Shepard they are processing my application. I asked her ten times "My schools ok right?" But anyhow you live and learn. I learned.

Well I Am Thinking Of Calling Crete In A Few Minutes,and The Driver Who Is Moving, I Feel For You I Just Moved To Murfreesboro Tn ( Just Below Nashville) From The Philly Area So I Went Thru The Headaches Of The Move And Now Trying To Get A Good Paying Job Her Seems Like A Joke. At Least On The Local Level.i Cant Prove It And Could Be Wrong But I Have Applied To About 4 Or 5 Local Companies That Pay Decent And Got No Response. And Hell, With 23yrs And A Clean License I Should've Got A Call. Maybe My Freinds At Home Were Right When They Said Good Luck Finding A Job Being How I'm Considered A Yankee. But I Wont Get Discouraged I'll Get Something And The Rest Lose Out On A Good Driver With One Hell Of A Work Ethic.

Many companies insurance requirements are 25 yrs old.
I am sure you hit the nail on the head!! -
I have seen this many times in my time on the road. NEVER BUY A TRUCK FROM THE COMPANY YOU are LEASED TO.
That is rule# 1 For Rule # 2, refer to Rule # 1. -
Update : I was 100% wrong about Shaffer being reasonable in my re-hire.
I just got off the phone with them and they said that after talking to my Crete manager, I would be required, by SHAFFER, to go back and work that full week underpaid at the Illinois Walmart DC.
I told him I was applying for work in the SE fleet and by no means would accept that blackmail. So my only recourse is to challange the decision by writing to the owner, Dwayne Aklie. But, as with other things, if they are in the wrong as I think they are, then why would I want to fight for a job there. Goodbye Acklie companies. -
I never said Crete was bad. I thought there were good enough to want to apply with them. I am just posting my experience with them for others to be better informed. -
There is no reason not to get at least 3,000 per week these days. -
I do not know where you get your info from, I have not been with the company very long...I am getting 600 to 700 miles a day working western region. Maybe you did have a bad experience, I am sorry to hear that but please get your facts straight before you post it on here.

When I worked at CCC, I was kept moving. I think I averaged around 3K a week. I never deviated more than 200-300 from that average.
My big gripe with Crete was the fact they seemed to forget where my home was. I spent most of my time while driving for those guys east of the Mississppi River, although I lived in Utah.
After getting on the Western Fleet, Janell in Salt Lake saw to it that I got home about every five days or so. However, I did have to take a pay cut to get on this fleet.
