    Hello everyone,

    I will be starting my orientation with Crete on Monday. I have over a year of experience with another company.

    Does Crete require experienced drivers to go out on the road with a trainer after their orientation?

    This was never mentioned to me by my recruiter. I was told that once I finished my road test and three-day orientation, I would be assigned a truck.

    Then I could drive home with my truck to get my personal belongings and get ready for my first load. There was no mention of having to go with a trainer.

    If you have any information on this, please let me know.

    Thanks,
    Ron

    I don’t work for Crete either, but if they’re going to assign you a truck and send you home for personal belongings, it doesn’t sound like you’re going to be in a trainers truck!
    Just my 2 cents

    Yes,they send you with a trainer who trains you on Cretes rules,and stuff(How to use Peoplenet etc )Also to make sure you do know how to control a CMV.
    They schedule 4 weeks,but if you seem to have some common sense they let you loose earlier. The trainer does 0 driving,unless you get fired.
