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

They were the same company, they just didn't get the memo. Before they had pictures of the bosses on a website, Mr. Aklie walked in there wearing a Crete t-shirt on the weekend pretending to be a driver needing work done, they told him sorry, they're too busy and they don't work on red trucks on the weekend.(and the mechanic wannabes were sitting on their butts playing cards in one of the bays). When he wondered how they had time to play cards on the clock and not have time to work on trucks, he was told it was none of his #### business...the guy was shocked when he was informed that he just said that to the owner....and then they were all replaced and it straightened out for a short while, but then went back to the SOSDD. Drivers had said he replaced that entire staff more than once because of that 'only work on blue trucks' b.s.

 

Well it was before both companies names were on the drivers door no matter what color the truck was.

 

Back when we had flower children mixed in with Shaffer (as in Sunflower trucks and trailers)

 

Makes more sense now.

 

Does any one person/ family own Crete.

 

From what I understand the acklie family still does…I believe if I’m not mistaken the mother still has controlling interest…if that has changed im not aware of it…ostergard is married to acklie’s daughter too..

 

Are they still married?

 

Yes they are from what i can see

 

Or hearing someone poop... casino is right there also

 

For otr drivers we should have steady coast to coast long haul runs... miles are all over the place...latest q/a Tim says he got a few thank you calls from drivers about already earning 100k...I just complained to Mike about getting a new AM cause I'm not where I should be, granted I was down roughly collectively 1 month due to engine blowout and going through 4 stinkers with electrical failure before getting my old truck back with rebuilt engine.. maybe there's some favoritism where certain drivers get the gravy trains and get to dump the 1 mile over short haul pay and stuck at live unload to the sucker idk... you think detention will eventually raise to a fair amount? Lost 3 days at greeley jbs there should be extra pay for the high-priority loads that have you give up a full day of driving... small vent
