    Maybe he's hoping and wishing for something that just doesn't exist. I mean really, union, non union, self employed whatever you call it you work 5 days get 2 off......non paid. Thanks for understanding my humor. I too was a member of the teamsters back in '77-'80. Local 804 in NYC.

    How is it that he says he has 6 years experience and acts like this is brand new?

    Because there is no verification necessary to the question of whether you are a trucker or not and how long you've been in the game. A 6 year old can log in and lay claim to being a 50 year veteran driver...but it doesn't take more than a post or two for the inexperience to shine through their BS claim.

    Considering that at every other job except maybe the military, it is standard to work 8 hour shifts, and have 2 days off a week, it is kind of funny that they would say "earned." When something is contractual, it is not really "earned," it is more like "agreed to." Trucking is really more on the pre-industrial revolution work schedule.

    Crete is a good operation, and I would not get overly upset because of the wording on their website.

    dude, its the same everywhere , donr play stupid with the words they used, anywhere in the world, if you dont work why the #### should u get a day off.

    everywhere , for any job, they gonna tell you, you got week end off, or you got a day off a week, but OFF COURSE you have to work the rest off the week to earn it lazy a.ss
