cre my 2 cents

Yes they are, and sometimes i can be a real big one!! Anyway... Moving on.... Hows life treating you? You doing ok? If not i know a really good Pshrink that could help. Fact is he's helped CRE drivers that made a fleece mistake in the past.

More power to you if you can make it, but 99.99% faliure rates don't lie.. Be at peace with yourself, my son.

 

I can go where I want, I just have to request it. Gee, I feel like I've said that before.... oh wait, I have! If people would read and remember things that were previously said, this thread and so many more like them wouldn't sound like a broken record!

I can work on this truck as well. Most of it I choose not to of course.

Sounds like you got quite the deal.

You're idea and my idea of forced dispatch are two completely different things but your attitude is giving you false pretense into thinking your version is correct.

I'm not making the truck payments for them, I'm making them for me. I'll be dipped, I think I said that once or twice as well....

I guess it would take England letting me have this truck for free to prove you wrong, but unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Wish it did, but it don't.

Not necessarily. I have rules to follow, procedures to be done the right way but leasing frees me from the typical company driver treatment.

I don't need your luck. I'm doin just fine making my own.

Thanks though, but no thanks.

In 1985 I quit a job that paid 35 cpm to take one that paid 36.5 You *were* getting screwed driver.

 

I've never seen a corporate-sponsored shill work so hard to convince us he's not a corporate-sponsored shill.

Hey, Mr Shill... look up the records on truck 93382 and post the results...it's my old truck - I dare you - Feb 08- Sept 08....

 

Why are there so many former drivers at any other company? Last I heard and this has been a while ago but there were over 4000 trucks out there do what's your point? Drivers come and drivers leave. Focus on the whole picture, not just half of it.

Why can't I tell you they want business-savvy and competant drivers? Granted, they need to stricken the "weeding" process because I'm sure they are tired of all the accidents they have but still, you can't read everybody just by lookin at the cover which needless to say, you screw up bad enough and youre gone.

I wouldn't know because we didn't have a trainer for phase two.

Can't say that I disagree with ya on this one. I really think they need to make it so trainers have atleast 2 years experience before they can train. But, I guess they don't see it that way instead, they see it like you said, giving the solo driver a way to make more money.

I can understand that but its really what you the driver makes of it. How else would you explain it that there's so many other drivers like me succeeding when there's others that aren't? Just because the unsuccess stories are all that you hear on here aren't proof that you can't make it here. Trust me, I have no reason or personal gain to lie about everything I've said.

True, but just like leasing a truck, there are some people who just shouldn't gamble. But those are the individuals who get the most attention. I suck at gambling. That's why you won't ever see me spending countless hours in a casino.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

I been fleacing from CRE 1.5+ years, my butt aint never gona heal from them bending me over so much. I know 10x more about the numbers than the OP, I will put them out for him/her.

You only make .66 cpm empty, and .76 cpm loaded (they make sure you never get short runs so you never get above .76 cpm, when you do they make up some BS reason to screw you out of it and still only pay you .76 cmp loaded. I removed the .14 cpm already. I still think there rates are false advertising, whats to prevent them from sayin L/O's make $5.00 loaded with $4.24 variable mileage??

Take a look at the .66 cpm empty CRE pays us. Take an imaginary week that you run 2,500 miles all empty. Your truck payment, insurence, fuel, our taxes, fuel taxes, maintainence, and all the other deductions you would not make a penny proffit, it all equals zip. Ok you get paid zero but ya you do get a better lookin paid MPG, only becouse you ran a very very long distance without getting paid a friggen penny for it der friggen einstein. I am guessing you are probley one of those CRE drivers I hear about who pays for fuel out of there own pocket to make the fuel cap. I ran those numbers a long time ago, and that doesnt work eather. The fuel cap is a scam! If you had any reall inteleggence (not to insult your intellegence) you would not use it. The rebate or fuel surcharge is much better. I play the fuel market stocks with mine. When fuel prices start to rise, I dont turn in any of my trip packs for three weeks. Then I turn them in all at once. I buy fuel when it is cheep, but the surcharge they pay me on the week I turn in all my trip packs is really high. The computer does not break down trip packs by actual time, just the time I send them in. I have gotten an extra .15 cpm by doing this. My paid cpm looks like crap on paper 3.8 mpg, but actually I am running close to 7 mpg. Doesnt mean anything to me because I take the surcharge and make a lot more than other L/O's by doing this little cheet. Many other little cheats in the CRE system but I am keeping those secrets till I quit.

Look at the .76cpm loaded miles. You got your $700.00 a week payment, your $220.00 insurance, Your personal taxes, your fuel takes, your maintenance fund, health, ets... You aint making squat!

Two classmates got the short lease option, where I got an almost new truck 80k miles. They both went under dew to there truck being in the shop and they owed CRE thousands in there first few weeks driving for them. CRE did not hold up to there BS 30 day almost every thing is covered (nothing is covered) guarantee on there used lease agreement.

Thinking of doing what the OP said about getting a short term severely used and abused high miles CRE lease return and owning it in a short amount of time, not likely to happen. CRE has one of the shortest and worst training programs in the industry. With only 60 days driving experience in your whole life CRE wants you to be a trainer training students with 30 days of experience driving. After you drive for 180 days CRE wants you to be a phase I trainer, training students right out of school with zero driving experience. Whats my point? Coupled with almost 100% of all L/O being severely pizzed at being burned, the trucks get torn up severely. The students with zero experience running full shifts mostly with zero help or guidance from there trainer, tearing the snot out of trucks, the blind trainers tearing trucks apart, the blind students of the blind trainers tearin the snot out of trucks, the L/O's after da light finally turns on and they realize they being jacked tearing the snot out of the lease trucks. If you got a good used lease truck its one in a million.

The picks below in the link is how a lot of lease operators make it. Just food for thought, if you want to make it and have the nice things you got to take a few risk! You aint sposed to take any pictures, they get really really pizzed when you do, for reall! Those are only ones I got.

Lol, corporate sponsored shill. That's a good one.

Apparently there's a lot you haven't seen and yet you act like you've seen so much....... Fascinating.

"Mr. Shill"........ Man, you're just so full of yourself, aren't you?

Anyway, back to the "more and more becoming useless" topic at hand.......

What exactly is it you are wanting me to look for and why are you so adamantly convincing me to look for it?

 

I have no idea what you're talking about.[/QUOTE]

I like ya kid.. ya got spunk.. moxie.. you might make it in trucking sometime down the road, as for right now you is a greenhorn yet. A company schill (means: you have nothing bad to say about said company)... Take it easy.. Kick back and relax.. Drink some coffee, and dont forget your helmet.
