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

If they didn't mess so many drivers over they wouldn't be short of drivers..

 

Mileage has been good. I use a Coleman 12volt cooler and a road pro oven. Thinking about buying a 12volt coffee pot soon.

 

Can I ask what you consider good?

 

2500-2700 is about right
I also use a Coleman cooler and the Roadpro oven. Went through 3 of their coffee makers before I Got a small butane/propane stove and a French press. The new trucks are coming with a 1500 watt inverter

 

2500 per full week. Home time week about 1200-1500. If you manage your clock right you can do well. Crete has the freight.

 

I will say this...for me, 2500 was a slow 7-day week. I don't know what my average was. I still have my records...need to look at them. But I was never a "run every mile I possibly can" driver. I didn't have to have 3400 every week....didn't want to work that hard. Still don't.

 

Yeah, I'm still pretty new at this. I run the loads they give me with the time allowed. I do want to try to get around 2700-2900 a week. I've been driving a total of 7 months and at .45 cents a mile my checks are 900 net almost every week now that I got my raise. Tennessee doesn't have income tax so my checks are pretty good. But I will run more as I learn more.

 

That pay rate with less than a year is dang good. Stay safe!

 

I'm getting around 2800 on a good week
on garbage weeks around 2,000

 

usually I have to jaw at the planners and my asset manager
