    Check Tribe Transport. Trucks have Tripac APU. They only hire experienced drivers.

    Pretty easy to do $60k @ Crete. The cpm rate starts @ .46 1/1/17. There are no bonuses like most places. Except referral bonuses. Extra stops pay good but are not common. Detention automatic after 2hrs. Trucks are not O/O specked. Very basic. Very rigid company. No compromise. Forced dispatch including NYC. They don't do a lot of NYC though. If your good with strict Forced dispatch, you'll do ok.

    Not to mention they pay practical, net about 5% more paid miles compared to pc for the same run.

    I've left them 3 times and always regret it. I just can't get along with Lincoln. A little flexibility would go along ways towards driver retention. A lot of drivers that stick are miserable. But pretty well paid miserable.

    Don't worry about the money! Attached is my last year of paychecks.

    Crete is WAY less rigid than other companies I've worked for. Just don't be an F-up and get to the drop on time and you'll be fine.

    They don't take kindly to job hopping so you'll need a history of stability. If you left after 6 months once, the problem could have been them. If you've left after 6 months five times then it's probably you.
     
    Airborne Thanks this.

    Hi, had the same question. Thinking about going with Crete. This attachment disappeared -- any possibility of seeing it again? Thanks! :)
