Crete Carrier Inc mistreatment

I have done fairly well here, as long as I stay out of the northeast,that area can be a black hole. I have made around 130,000 miles the past 2 years, can't complain. Some weeks are 22-2300, some are 32-3300, but average around 26-2700 miles as a rule. Not going to complain about that.

 

Maybe you## were read#ing too much# into it##...

 

Excellent responses. I've only been with Crete about 6 weeks, but I have yet to run the NE. I'm sure I will...no problem...just don't want to live up there like I was so often with Schneider (I live in SC).

 

Having a challenge finding local I was considering the home weekly regional with Crete.

When OTR I can't see doing 21 days when you have a home.

 

You might look into Cardinal Logistics. They are everywhere. Pretty much they supply trucks and drivers to dedicated customers and it's all local work.

 

Thanks for the tip Dna.

 

Certainly. They do a lot of Home Depot, Chep, and Rubbermaid. Never really gave them a second thought until I ordered some lumber from Home Depot for a garage and started talking to the driver who delivered it. I did a search here on TR and found a few threads about them.

Me and OTR are finished. Just kicking back and looking around at a few different options. Good luck in your search RT.

 

I have no problems working for Crete.....Overall Crete has treated me good..

 

My trainer from Swift talked to a Cretey and said every year he gets a raise, his miles go down and so does his $. Not uncommon to here other companies doing the same JB, and Watkins for examples.

 

I completely agree with everything in the original post. I drive the blue side and have been for 8 months. My savings are now gone, if u don't drive u don't get paid period. I average 800 to 1200 miles a week for a grand take home pay of about 380$ per week. So beware of this company. Just sayin....
