As a trainer, I check up on the trainees after they get out on their own. They run good sometimes and sit sometimes, depending on the area they are in. They are not stealing all the miles from us more long term hands. Freight is slow for all companies right now. Yes, Crete is changing. I know it is human nature to resist change but it's pretty obvious to me at the age of 49 that Life is made of change. We can go kicking and screaming or embrace it, but life will change.

I don't know if anyone on any of the Crete threads has had the opportunity to sit in Lincoln at their dispatch and just watch. I think anyone who can, should. It will be an eyeopener. Any doubt a person would have about what they do or any paranoia about being singled out or whatever, will disolve after a very short time. You may not want to believe it but these people work hard. If you think of how many drivers and trucks Crete has on the road vs. the number of dispatchers, you'll understand why they are busy. Maybe sometimes too busy to chat or reassure you, that they are working to keep you going. In tough times like this, it's actually harder to be a good planner. You are worried about keeping drivers busy while worrying about the customer. No one, and I mean no one wants to be the reason that a company has lost or jepordized an account. There are way too many dogs fighting for the same bone.
PS "the checkback" is old school LOL and everyone should be glad to know you have some old school dispatchers there. -

I've been at Crete for almost 14 years, I am sitting here wondering if there is two companies out there named Crete. Obviously that is sarcasm, I am a truckdriver,
I make good money(over 60k three years in a row), I get home when I tell them I want to be there, in case of emergencies, they have broke their backs for me to get home before, my paycheck is correct and on time 99%, in case it has been wrong, it is fixed on the next check(very rare), I, just like the Shaffer driver mentioned, run compliant, I don't have a problem with Cretes point system, I do my job, legally, and don't get "bad" points, when audited, I usually get good points, I used to get a new truck every 200,000 miles, that has changed, I got this truck new April 20, 2006, the odometer currently reads 449075, i did the math for you, 12137 miles per month, my pay rate is 47 cpm, which is Cretes top pay rate for drivers. Obviously there are some morons who work here, some non drivers, some are drivers too. My biggest complaint over almost 14 years is the maintenance dept., with very few exceptions, our maintenance dept. is horrible, maybe worse.Weazz and The Challenger Thank this.
