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

You can't do a Tn to NM load in 4 days? If you were as far east in Tn as you could get going to a point in NM as far away as possible you are still only looking at 1500 miles. You could almost fit a reset in and still do it.

 

Nah, it's a drop. But it's a timed and tracked load, so I keep getting that message. I'll drop it a day late.

 

and the nice bubble wrapped envelope.

 

ouch, with all that Crete is giving out in Safety bonuses I don't see how they're going to stay in business much longer

 

Us Xpress is now paying what Crete does, or at least close to it. If USX and swift went up, everyone else is going to soon. Think we got another pay raise coming? I wish I'd just stayed at USX now.

 

I read a few years ago that USX was doing away with company drivers unless they were teams. That experiment not work out?

 

I'm beat 657 miles in 10 hours and 32 minutes.

The qualcomm only showed 641 today
656 miles left on this trip, mmm, 150 miles are side roads, maybe if I roll down the hills in Wyoming at 77 mph?

 

The load I have to pick up
Can't be picked up till tonight
I still have too deliver this run
I'm on now due Tuesday am
Then pick up the new Mexico run
I'm getting miles like crazy right now
Last week was 2900 paid this week should be the same or close
To it

 

Oh please Us Xpress paying what Crete does?

What are you smoking?

Time for a fact check backed up by the source.

From US Xpress OWN website!

"Experienced solo OTR drivers earn up to 43.5 CPM"

http://www.usxjobs.com/truck-driver-jobs/company-truck-drivers/pay-benefits/

It's "UP TO".. probably with many years of experiences and other requirements

Meanwhile I'm earning 43CPM here with less than a year experience.
I don't need a link for that, you drivers here know what they pay.

 

how are you all getting all these loads on this holiday weekend?
I've gotten screwed... been sitting the past two days.

This will be my first bad week here.. the lowest miles I've had in a full week out since I've been here so far was 2650.
Unless they give me an amazing run soon this will be a bad week.
I'm giving them an pass for it being a holiday weekend though, any other time I would have cursed them out lol.
