    For ALL people who were interested in Crete and Shaffer I will give you Day by Day events. As most of you know I started yesterday 8-15-2018 with over a decade of experience in the field. I shoot from the hip with no lies, I will tell you the good, bad and ugly. But honestly there’s very little ugly.


    Enjoy your day!!

    Day 1/2:
    Day 1:
    They rented me a car. I picked an expedition and loaded all my stuff. Got to hotel. Woke up and Day 1 began.
    Took road test n drug test. Ate lunch and now back at room. Talked with company drivers in yard and yes the miles are here.

    Day 2:
    Paperwork and some written tests. No biggy... I did bring all my stuff with me on Day 1, they have a nice storage area at Crete. Only because I don’t want to go right back home and live without my things for 2 weeks.

    What I noticed so far... no lies from the company. They say what they mean and mean what they say. I should be getting truck tomorrow and I’ll keep ya all posted.

    I haven’t seen any.
    I heard one guy out of 15 people in orientation complaining about it. But no random sleep studies.
    Day 3 continues...

    The lies don't start until after they have made enough from your work to cover what they have invested in you thus far. I was with them for almost 10 yrs, and until I worked at Big G, I considered them to be the worst bunch of anal retentive, self centered micromanaging lying sacks of donkey feces that walked the planet. My last 30 months with them averaged under 10k miles a month.

    Day 3/last day of orientation:
    Videos and such then waited for the hair test to come back. I passed and now back at hotel. Tomorrow they will get me a rental car and I’ll drive 550 miles to pickup my truck at another terminal. Yes, they pay .55 CPM (to me) to drive rental car to next terminal.
    All is well...
    PS: 1 guy failed hair test, reason: Cocaine in his system. Crete actually gave him a bus ticket back home. I personally would of made him walk. haha
    He will be lucky to get a decent paying job after that because a failed drug test haunts you. Don’t do drugs, lol.
    Everyone else (14 people) passed.
