CRETE CARRIER.....WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS COMPANY...THEY WILL HOLD YOUR LAST CHECK FOR 45 DAYS

Its really bad but all company do the same practice Trailer Bridge in Jacksonville took over 90 days and they sent only $486 of 1,000 so no excuse no explain just they took my money

 

30 years ago I worked for a small crappy company briefly.
Up to 400 mile runs, out and back.
You spent hours running around town trying to find a small truck stop stupid enough to take a company check for fuel, or to give the owner a charge account. (He was a crook)

One place we filled up was a small convenience store truck stop, with a few dual diesel pumps. One time I was filling up the drivers side, only, and happened to notice the mercedes car in the next lane, was using the unused satellite pump from my lane, to fill up. When I walked up to him he quickly pulled the nozzle, said 'Oh, sorry, had the wrong pump', got in his car, and drove off. Yeah, right. He knew exactly what he was doing. Made no effort to pay for whatever he pumped, ten gallons at least.

Oh, two months after I left Crete they sent me small check for something. Not sure what it was for, don't care. Those jerks are past history for me, and will stay that way.

 

I was an independent contractor with Crete for many years. When I left I waited 45 days to get my final payment. Just like it said in the contract.
Crete always paid me what I was owed.

 

If he worked for Crete and that was the only complaint he had he was doing really well...

 

they did the same with me , took 5 weeks to get to mine plus my load lock check
didn't get to me for 7 weeks , crete has major problems and the big boss doesn't
do any thing he leaves it up to the FM's ..i had one hell of a rude prick that
trans from GA to Columbus , he would write you up for anything

im a owner op for of my driving days , back in the 80's mid 90s
Crete was one hell of a company , NOT ANYMORE

BTW - i think i made the record of all time...went Thu 6 trucks
and 31 times broke down in less than a year 11 months

 

Barbarians at the gate!!!

 

I had no problem getting paid.

 

Make that Companies PLURAL.

There was a time in the late 80's I witnessed first hand, Companies breaking up into several different BRANDED companies all under one parent company. It's hard to explain. But it's a one hell of a bypass certain laws and restrictions.

 

I bet at 29 CPM it was a 40 dollar check. lmao

 

Kinda like the SNI / WS / L? consolidation now...may end up being. Dock to door? wow. What's your input on this, x1 ?
Sorry to hijack; am on the road. Can't start a new thread....just wondering. If there's a thread or 2 on here about that, haven't found it yet.
Be safe, guys n gals.
ps: on topic, CCC is known to pay up even if it takes 45 days; haven't heard otherwise and their drivers seem like they have a head on the shoulders that support their steering and shifting arms. Met a few in my years; no complaints. Settlements at separation can take some time, understandably.
