Crete, from one red truck to another

After a month of taking care of some personal issues and a little vacation time I will be starting orientation at Crete on Wednesday. I drove for Roehl for a little over a year and was treated fairly decently while there but I can't argue with a 0.05 per mile pay raise (along with better benefits) and from what I can ascertain another decent company. I leave for New Kingston, PA tomorrow on what will hopefully be a smooth transition by the weeks end.

 

Thanks bowlwinkle. Made it to New Kingston a couple of hours ago and checked in at the hotel. Drove up and down the street to see what was around and stopped by the terminal as well to get a lay of the land before tomorrow morning. Looking forward to getting started.

 

Thanks guys.

Well 7 of us started today and only four of us are returning tomorrow. I started off the day with the road test first. Was good to get that part out of the way early on. By the time I was back 4 of the group had left for the lab to do the physical/work well tests. The rest of us did paper work and made it to the lab around 1145 and the first group was still not finished. Ended up that the physical knocked out 3 of them. All three in my group passed and we returned to the terminal for some last minute paper work. So there is one guy from JBH, one O/O from Schneider and a trainee left besides me.

Ready to get orientation knocked out and rolling back down the road. I did notice that they have a sleep lab trailer outside the main terminal area. A pretty nice perk for drivers thinking they may have a sleeping disorder as I understand those tests are not exactly free on the outside.

 

Just the tester.
