Crete Carrier - A Year In Review - Fall 2013 Going Forward

When you guys speak about the cheap trucks at Crete what exactly are you referring to?

Also, you guys mention running a lot of NE, where are you talking about, New England states? So you guys deliver to NYC/Long Island alot? Is there extra pay involved for NYC/LI ?

 

A stripped down freightshaker that keeps having issues and breakdowns.. at least on my end.
PA into new England usually is the case.

I have gone to Florida, Colorado, Nebraska a few times in my 6 months here but it's nothing even remotely close to how many times I've been in PA, New york and New england.
Never to NYC/Long Island, not once.. I would refuse it anyway.
I don't turn down loads but that i will turn down, it's not worth the extra $100 they give.

 

very true freightwhipper...thank you for saying it

Actually, drivers that do this, end up working at PTL........

Whoa, Stop the Clock!

That makes sense

 

D'oh! attachment doesn't work

 

So? How is that going to work with the strong possibility you will be forced to switch to a different truck when the piece of junk you have breaks down, or needs a part they can't get for a few weeks. More unpaid downtime because they only offer you a truck that the fridge doesn't fit, or you lose the fridge you paid for?
The same fridge that fits a prostar isn't likely to fit in a freightliner, if we are talking 'built in'.

 

Crete had me fuel there when I ran Walmart from North Platte to Wiliston and back

 

I heard a Crete driver talking about a Walmart pop up fleet? Can someone explain to me how that works and the advantages/disadvantages of this account compared to regular OTR?

 

Here is the US Xpress pay scale
