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

I’ll learn one of these days.
Fell for the old Walmart needs help…..
Sitting in Mankato waiting.
700 miles in 3 days.
Never again!(Waith,Ive said that before)

 

Put your foot down… What are they gonna do you fire you?… I seriously doubt it considering they’re allegedly in desperate need of drivers…

 

I talked to my home terminal,and they said that WM is not required,and that I can decline.
I already accepted a 200 mile PP,and am waiting for the load ready message.
Tomorrow,I’m going to tell them to switch me back to National.

 

When you are a helper you end up with the shortest of runs. Not bad if you lived next to the facility and are semi retired and trucking part time but not productive at all after the 'help' period ends.

I ran the Mankato dedicated for 1.5 years and if you were helping during the holiday then you would see more miles. If you were REALLY efficient then they would try and get 3 loads onto you. 2 runs up to the twin cities and a 3rd doing the Walmart/Sam's in town.

 

6/2-196 miles
6/3-312 miles
6/4-reset
6/5-201 & 3 (yes 3) miles
6/6-102 miles & 404 miles
6/7- 134 miles

and they wonder why nobody wants to help out.

 

Repeat after me "Get me the flying F off this Walmart #### or tell me where you want me to shove this truck!!!!!!!"


According to one of Propaganda Tim, Walmart drivers make great money...you mean he was being deceptive? Say it ain't so, management lying, not at this fine, outstanding company

 

The full time dedicated drivers do because they get the premium runs..when you fill in , you get the scraps.

 

Non of our dedicated drivers want to run these short hauls, can you help out? - ops probably

 

Don't they pay you guys a premium for short trips?

 

On regular runs they pay a staggered dollar amount depending on the miles, not sure about on the dedicated fleet...but we do make an extra $.06 per mile for helping. Based on the miles he posted, he might be able to afford an un-happy meal at McD's
