The Decline Of Crete Carrier

I left because of trucker burn out. I had been so long OTR, staying out usually 6 weeks at a time, felt I really had to get off the road. I guess I am the only driver that ever did that.

 

Nope....I've started the application process at several tanker outfits close to home. I'm about done with OTR...

 

Does local tanker...pay by the mile..or the load...or a combo of both....just wondered

 

I pull tanks local. Sometimes OTR but never out more than 2 nights. We get paid by the load. 25%

 

Hey, how can I get those scrolling advertisements to go along my posts? and even better, how can I get those ads put on my facebook? is there a way of profiting from this simple advertising?

 

I would love to work 48 state again, but I would do it only with team driving; yet having had multiple partners and many, many heated arguments - the only way I'd do it again is at 0.47 cpm minimum, and with the company having a large pool of available drivers, agreeing to swap team drivers every 16.5 weeks (21 on/5off; 32 on/5off; 32 on/5off; and 21 on/ 5 off) and guaranteed 2400 per week but never more than 2700, 85% of the time we can keep on-duty time between 8-10 hours within the same 12 hour shift and work off of recap, truck APU equipped and governed at 67 mph cruise control minimum, and without the anti collision auto-jakes device. In the mean time, THE CASH IS IN THE OIL FIELDS, for now.

 

?? Me no understand

 

agreed...rail cant do it alone.....roaddog quoted the % of how freight is transported in the USA.
15% by rail
80% by truck[
rest by ship/plane/etc...
no way rail will be able to replace trucks...if they could they would have already as railroads have been around longer and most are subsidized by the fed anyways..

 

This thread is dying

 

Then its true, Crete Carrier really is declining.
