Yeah, I always remember going past the Crete terminal when I was on my way to the Averitt terminal in K-ville. I always thought it was strictly a repair facility. My understanding too is that Crete is building a nice new terminal in K-ville which will open soon. Oh well--just don't be too quick to judge. TMC has a beautiful hotel and terminal in Des Moines, and I hated working for them, and Averitt had nice terminals for the most part, which I spent many hours at due to low miles and no freight moving. So, in summary, if the truck runs good, and you have consistent freight, I don't give two sh%^ if their terminal is a cardboard box--just gimme my paycheck!

I hear you driver. But I have to go with my gut feelings. It just wasn't my cup of tea. If I was in it for the money I wouldn't be a trucker. Not getting paid for sleeping in a truck, that's losing time and money. I want to have a nice place to come back to instead of a drop yard of a terminal. Trucking is a Lifestyle that I've always wanted. Money is to be made with experience, that I'm trying to get. I'll see what I'm worth later. Be safe.

Knoxville may look like hell but they do better work then you will get in Marietta.

The two Knoxville yards (one for tractor repairs and one for our trailer repairs) are the smallest in the fleet. That's why they are currently building a $5 million terminal to replace them. Looks can be deceiving, the Knoxville terminals have the best bunch of mechanics in the fleet. Top notch work and fast.
