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

I need too have atleast 500 mile trips so I can make money out here
I understand crete makes alot more money on shorter runs but it doesnt benefit me

 

my truck has been broken down the last 4 days had no lights on the truck and no heat in the truck
waiting at home till my truck is fixed

 

You're not going to average 2,500 if you take hometime , Looks like our sister company Poly, has more equipment problems than us.


Now I get to grab a reset and hang out with the Quakers.
It's warm up here, in the 60's.

they were cleaning up the carnage on I-80 this morning, hard to believe there were snow related wrecks already

 

I saw quite a few last week on I-44 in MO and OK and more on I-40 in OK. Guess we are gearing up for a prolific wreck season.

 

yeah but aren't you getting .44 CPM or around that?

You want long runs somewhere else you'll be working for less CPM.. as simple as that

 

So I got a call today from one of your recruiters telling me about the raise your getting. She left it on my voicemail. I didn't call her back yet so I'm not sure how much.

 

2 cpm, effective January 1.

 

I got a Q/C message today, being a Shaffer driver, it said Shaffer Trucking is raising its pay $0.04 per practical mile. It gave no effective date but also said they are going to be giving guaranteed detention pay and have a company driver pet policy, but again did not expound on what the policy is.

 

they can keep the pay raise, give me a Kenworth and no more Northeast runs instead

 

Wonder what's up with the 2 owner op trucks for sale tonight? And then the spew about their big 2 cent raise.
