Crete / shaffer - short on miles

The reason your miles are down at Crete is because of their pay system. They now have OTR drivers that just got done with their trainer along with the home every weekend drivers who are getting paid 6 to 7 CPM less than the veteran drivers. For every truck that goes 10,000 at 6 CPM less than one driven by a veteran driver the company saves $600. Take that times the 2,500 trucks that are getting those lower rates and the company saves $1,500,000 per month in wages plus another $93,000 in SSI taxes. That works out to over $19,000,000 a year.

That is very true. I started there as a trainee driver who didn't have a year, and was promised a penny raise after 6 months. still haven't seen that rise, and payroll don't talk to the drivers, terminal manager is worthless. They take a penny from the driver for going regional, but don't get you home on time. You have to fight for miles, because they will BS you sitting at docks all week then blame you for being a local driver.
