    Really do the math here Jerry.If your trucks go 68 miles per hour and ours go 62 you only get 462 miles more a week than me if you drove the maximum of 11 hours each day and averaged 68 miles per hour for all 11 hours which we all know is not possible.So who really cares how fast your truck goes or mine goes or how much you make or i make or how big your house is or my house is or how new your car is or mine is so on so forth.Each person just has to be happy with their own individual situation and if they are not their are plenty of other companies to choose from.I have been with them for a year now and absolutely enjoy working for them.I do not have to make 50-60 grand a year to function in this world.As i stated before i have a 1000 a month mortgage payment a car payment utilities so on so forth.I can do just fine in life with what i make here and with what my wife makes and still put money in savings each and every week

    Shaffer and Crete may be part of the same corporation but last time i checked Shaffer trucks dont pull trailers that say crete and crete trucks dont pull trailers that say shaffer that is also why there are two separate websites for each company.You are two separate entities

    Very well said. He told me last night when we were having this same convo and i said i pass schaffer trucks all the time, that their trucks got turned down to 62 so whats the beef with usa. I passed a schaffer today i have 44,000 in the box we were on level ground who cares. If he dont like usa.
