    I will be done with trucking school in about 3 weeks and want to go to either Shaffer or Crete.
    I know they belong to the same company as does Hunt.

    My question is this... Does Shaffer pull Crete trailers on a regular basis? I saw one going down the road this morning on a Shaffer tractor.

    If they do it would seem like there are better opportunities with going to Shaffer than Crete.

    Any info would be very helpful.

    Thanks,
    RA

    i talk to a many of both drivers out here who absolutely love the company, and it's usually about 75/25 on seeing them pulling one anothers trailers.

    Here is the thing. It does not matter what you see going down the highway. Crete/Shaffer is currently issuing their trucks as first available. So many Crete drivers are issued Blue Trucks and many Shaffer drivers get Red Trucks. They have even started putting Crete/Shaffer logos on the doors whereas my old red truck merely said Crete. It is possible to pull a trailer, particularly an MT, that is not your mode. But rarely if ever do you pull a load that is not your Mode. I have been with Crete 6 months and have rescued a Shaffer trailer once where a driver had his truck go into the shop. That load was a dry load not refrigerated.

    I drive for Shaffer and I do pull Crete loads from time to time. Not too often but every once in awhile
