I have 9 days left at trucking school. I have looked at all the mega carriers. I have narrowed it down to Crete being my number one choice to go OTR. I live near the Lenoir City Tennessee terminal. Can you tell me what to expect from Crete, good, bad, and ugly?

There's a thread in the favorite section that'll tell you a lot, ignore most posts as some drivers have way too much free time in their hands, due to the loads with way too much time on them.
did you go to a Crete approved school?
If you're fat, expect a sleep studyWild Murphy Thanks this. -
I am at an approved school. Yes, I am fat. I did go through sleep study 3 weeks ago and have my prescription and machine and am compliant. Do you think they will make me do another?
-
paul_4lp and Wild Murphy Thank this.
-
Yea. Mine has a card. I use it every night and will meet their standards. How long will I be with a trainer? Also, is it true that you can't use a wireless headset while driving? Do you like it there?
-
Thats their policy, no using a headset while driving, but we All do it, heck, they'll call you while they know you're driving. They have 187654 trillon rules, so in all reality, they have no rules.
do I like it here?? The pays good, it's aggravating as 7734 most the time. But most Crete drivers are good to hang out with, we have a few sour apples.
Talk to 3 Celadon drivers and imagine sitting in a lounge with them while your truck gets worked on, you'll kill yourself.Wild Murphy Thanks this. -
Thanks for answering my questions. I'm gonna put in an app tonight.
tucker Thanks this. -
How much did you pay if at all for the study and machine?
-
I have blue cross blue shield. I had to meet my 500.00 deductible and they paid the rest. Not sure what they paid yet.
-
I thought all drivers for Celadon were from S of the border (not the one on I 95) and could'nt speak English.
