Well, had a short week due to going home...but came off home time with a run to Colton CA then back to Wilmer TX so 3400 miles on next check. Now headed from Austin TX to Franklin MA - another 2K miles. Gonna take a reset then roll from there...

Thanks for the information. I have been speaking to Wild Murphy and looking at Crete and Shaffer. No sure which way to go when i retire from the Army next year. Thanks again for the insite. Jay.
Wild Murphy Thanks this. -
I've tried both. If you're not a night owl, you'd likely do better with Crete. Both are good choices.
Wild Murphy and WingNut72 Thank this. -

As far as companies doing it. Some of the mega-carriers do it like Schneider and Prime. But I think they have similar screening procedures as Crete/Shaffer.
The trucking legislators are trying to figure out a way how to force every driver to be tested. But they can't figure out how to make it a legitimate requirement without causing massive departures of drivers from the industry.
As far as wawtrucker's question about directions...they have directions for most customers, but many are provided by drivers who delivered there or by the customer themselves. As far as whether they're good directions...just like any company some are, some aren't. Google Maps is a good backup to check their accuracy. When I was at Crete, it seemed as though many times I was coming in from a different direction then where the directions author was coming in, but it gave me a general idea of where the customer was, so adjusting my route was easier.Last edited: Apr 14, 2015
