Crete Going Out of Business?

Have a good friend that works at Crete. Says things seem usual. He's running good miles, same accounts.
I suspect it's as someone else said...these may be old tractors waiting to be driven off to the used dealers and replaced by new ones.

 

I'm a driver for Crete dude, and not all drivers are high school drop outs. Some of us actually graduated from college and retired from other careers first before starting a second career driving a truck.

By the way, since you made it clear that you couldn't figure out the relevance of my post, it is to set the record straight with regard to Crete going out of business. ####!

 

I drive for shaffer just replacing a bunch of old 2010s...getting 14s in

 

I put a little over 3000 miles on my brand new truck I got a week before Thanksgiving last week.

 

Knoxville appears to me to be a processing location for Crete. Inservice and outservice on new and old trucks. There's a Werner yard in Ohio where there are about a hundred new KW 680s waiting for decals. If you ever happened by Marten Transport's yard off the beaten path in Mondovi, WI, at any given time you'd see 100-200 trucks parked there. Any large fleet is always going to have a yard with a surprising number of idle power units, some are just more visible than others. When you have 1000+ tractors and you cycle tractors out at 500k miles, you're always going to have a large number coming in and going out at any given time. Better than turning over all thousand of them in a single month, no?

 

must be all them growth chemicals in the turkey...............

 

You really shouldn't chastise others as being "High School dropouts" then post a sentence like this.

 

If more individuals, as well as more companies, were debt free, the country as a whole would be in much better shape. The same holds true if the federal government, all individual state governments, and all counties and cities were debt free. Debt is an economic noose around everyone's neck.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

Are you retired military or law enforcement?
