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

Crete says they want you to run legal, but somehow delivering on your break doesn't interrupt a 10 hour break. As one driver said, you can break the rules they tell you to break.

 

freaking load planners for Crete must be Werner rejects

A drivers sleep is more important than anything.
It's one thing when you want to mess up a drivers sleep schedule, it's another when you book him a 500 mile run picking up at 6am delievering at 10PM

 

They try that every so often on me, doin dry van. I just tell em I don't have the hours. Havent had to argue much about not sleep in at customers, just once, and I have em a firm NO. It was at a RockTen. A stinky one too... Luckily the load finished and I got out of there with pretty much no time to spare, lol.

 

The one thing they tried on me when I told them I didn't have the hours was they told to call my terminal manager and have them explain how to do a log book...until I explained that I had been doing log books before most of our terminal managers knew what a truck was, let alone read a 'log books for dummies' manual to learn how to do it themselves.

 

I thank all the drivers and office personnel for voting for me, The most valuable resource.

 

You deserve it. All i've got is job satisfaction.

 

My miles for March were..... 5,628. Which ain't too bad with 8 days broke down and 10 at home.

 

I had 9,626 in March....average for the year is 9,999 per month.

 

I had 11140 in March, averaging a little over 10500 a month so far this year
