New to crete

He didn't look into this before he hired on?

 

Most those questions are answered in the Crete thread u just posted in. Some even label sleep apnea testing and Crete equipment lol. Read. Crete a year in review on the good company page and start at.the end and read backwards 10 or so pages to get a good understanding.

 

.37 a mile sounds like he will be on a dedicated run cuz most start out at .40 on the national account. Good company? well thats an opinion that changes everyday by every driver depending what terminal they are in. yes you do a sleep apenea if your bmi is out of wack. most of the trucks are good personally i hate prostars so im in a cascadia and all is good here. yes some of them have double bunks mainly if you have two people in the truck they will...i think the trainer is a minimum of a year no accidents and no mess ups on your logs. orientation was a breeze they made us feel at home some of us were in shock they whole time waiting to see their true colors but it never came. i went on a three day adventure on a trainers truck when done i had a truck in about 10 hours and was off on my own. if i have hours i dont sit within 15 minutes of getting empty normally i have another load. i think the miles question is a matter of how you communicate with the people you work with you can call in and b**** them out and get nothing or you can talk to them like your a professional and ask nicely and i always come out with 2800-3400 miles a week depending where im at.

 

Just hope you don't have to submit to their sleep apnea test. It is a farce of the worst kind. And I'm a Crete driver.

 

all company trucks are gov. at 62mph the owner operators while buying the truck is gov at 65. the sleep study is stupid i went through it and im the same way i dont sleep on my back i sleep on my face but in the end if they do the study and you end up needing the machine it really is for the health of the driver. crete is very lax on truck restrictions they really seem to be a minimal bs company. i normally park my trlr at the truck stop lock it up and driver the truck home and they dont care. the dispatchers arent really a problem for me i think if you communicate with them properly you shouldnt have any problems and if you cant get enough miles talk to your TM about your productivity but it shouldnt be a issue as freight is picking up again and in a hurry. my trainer was a idiot but i was only with him for three days so no big deal. fat non showering old hippy ww2 vet dude that just got on my nerves. i would say 95% of the freight is drop and hook i cant honestly remember when i did a live load/unload. it is what you make of it but my checks are fat and im happy i hope he is too. Where are yall based out of?

 

well i turned in 6300 miles this week at .42 or .43 divide that in two and thats what i get every week. if you put forth the effort and go out a little longer you will make more. trucking is not the best career to have but you have to make a descion. stay close to home and not making much money or stay out a little more and provide your family with the things they need. i just had a baby not to long ago maybe 6-7 months and i have a 4 year old. i make enough that next week im buying a house and my wife is quitting her job to be a stay at home mom. so if that doesnt answer your question about money then i dont know what will. as stated before your husband will be in a truck within a day of getting off the trainers truck.
