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

I have no axe to grind. But all 4 of us tested at New Kingstown the two days this week that I was there were diagnosed with Sleep Apnea.

 

The inverter cost is true, I've looked into it. As for the sleep study passing, many people aren't informed until the next day, so I'd say it's unlikely that at least 2 of the people you tested with weren't called in for one.

 

That sleep study nonsense is a joke!!! Just one more way for these huge company's to make more money off the driver.

 

You guys keep saying that but how are you drawing this conclusion. Crete is still paying Sleep Pointe $3,000.00 for every driver they test. That's 3 times what a diagnosed positive driver is paying for the cpap. Crete pays, driver pays, and Sleep Pointe collects. Contrary to what I have seen posted, Crete, nor Tonn, nor any other family member owns Sleep Pointe.

 

They're sure as he'll not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. Hidden ownership, investments, kickbacks, insurance reductions, flat out lying about the study cost... all or any of these must be part of this.

 

Crete is saying it costs them "$3,000". Nobody can know for sure how much it costs ? 99% of the people who Sleep Pointe tests is diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. The CPAP machine they make you buy costs $900+. To have a inverter in your truck costs $900+.

Crete I'm sure is owned by smart people. They would never openly put their name on Sleep Pointe.

There is something terribly wrong with this. Their making money off of others misery.

 

One comment...18 wheel molotov ####tail.

 

nope, picked up pre loaded trailer at customer. It is a hot load. Like meat loads can't fail, no trailer lights. My top two clearance lights work, none others. Changed fuses and spread prongs apart. Eight hours later, sitting outside customers gate, repair truck because no lights, new electrical box, still not working...after all that we find some numbnuts cut the electrical lines and stuffed them up under front of trailer...pieced back together, needs new pigtail. That is after I picked up trailer with tire worn to the steel belts, you could actually see them...and the day prior I picked up trailer, preloaded, im not ######## you, 4 flat tires, landing gear handle broke and trailer lights bad. Wtf, how lazy can people be???

 

Well, that's because USA Truck... they're right up there with USeless Xpress for the absolute worst equipment, at least trailers.

But at least I've actually seen brand-new USA Truck trailers recently. Last time I saw a brand-new USeless Xpress trailer, I was a good bit younger.

 

The inverter does not cost 900.
All crete does is wire a separate 12v outlet in the sleeper, direct to the batteries.
Its the same outlet you can buy at most truck stop or walmart, a normal cig lighter socket with a cover.
Total parts cost? Maybe 12 bucks.
Labor? Half hour or less.
Then they hand you a 30 dollar, 400 watt inverter, same as you can buy in most truck stops.
The 900 dollar charge is for the cpap machine
