Crete is number 1. Top pay, low scores so we dont get pulled in for inspections much. Imo nice trucks. They are not fancy but have non idle climate controls so you sleep well. Ssb has been here longer time to help you more. I was company driver for 15 years and owner op last 7 yrs. I did my homework and pick crete.

I went up 4 cents a mile to come here. After 7 months, I'm actually a little behind my earnings pace compared to my last position at Schneider. That just should not be.
Think long and hard about the choice you make. And good luck to you. -
Equipment...budget, cookie cutter, generic are three descriptions that come to mind. I have driven cheaper, I have driven more expensively equipped...basically Crete is on par with the quest for mediocrity that has been one thing that goes on here daily. -

As a student, particularly one from the hiring area closest to New Kingstown, they will sell you Crete, but give you Shaffer. Then they tell you that you can go with Shaffer for anywhere from 45 days to 6 months solo (depending on who you ask), then quit and be re-hired on the Crete side. If you don't mind 2am live loads/unloads and driving in Missouri caves then you'll be ok.
Crete is a stickler for having a good background. If you got your license suspended or had an accident 25 years ago they want all the details about it, right down to the name of the little podunk town it happened in. -
The advertisements and public relations here portray this company as the pinnacle of the trucking world...while the operation and overall way things are handled here day after day, week after week, are more in line with the 'just like everyone else' frame of mind.
My next company will be something like Poly. Or if my neighbor has another opportunity to work for him (4 truck operation, seafood from FL to the west coast, then produce/fruit from the west coast back to the southeast) 25-3000 miles a week, home every other weekend and un-governed, apu equipped trucks, non forced fueling locations and similar cpm to what I am getting here.
As for others next move, some would prefer local/regional or being an O/O. I have been all of the above and prefer long haul...but it all depends on the person and what type of freight and what length of haul that driver is looking for to make them happy.
