    Apparently Crete doesn't like to check logs or give drug tests .

    Investigation
    Completion Date Investigation
    Number Source of
    Enforcement Violation
    Section Number Violation Description Counts Settled Amount Settled
    1 3/23/2006 NE-2006-49-US0851 Compliance Review 382.305(b)(2) Failing to do random drug tests at applicable annual rate 5 $6,600.00
    382.305(i)(3) Failing to ensure that drivers are tested in selection period 60 $84,600.00
    395.8(e) False reports of records of duty status 30 $12,000.00

    Yet despite this FMCSA gives thema satisfactory rating !!!
    Just what is unsatisfactory ??

    No Skipper, I am not a safety person, and certainly not a man. I don't even work and never have worked for Crete. I was asking for something in the form of proof about things that you've been stating. Very simple, just come up with proof. You continue to say that these things are public knowledge. The accident in Fl. is certainly public. It was plastered all over the news. This is nothing new, everytime there is a fatality truck accident, it is on the national news and in all the papers. If you will re-read my posts I have asked for proof that they "forced" that driver to drive. You didn't reply to my question about the reset that he had just come off of. Do you have proof that the head of Crete's safety dept. can't drive due to DUI's? All I am asking for is cold hard facts not fantasy or rumor. If you can come up with that, then I apoligise but until then I will continue to ask for proof. Remember that by saying things about the safety guy, you better have proof, because I think otherwise its slander. Please correct me if I am incorrect.
