I was driving for Werner enterprises and I just got a new job here at Crete Carrier corporation doing Walmart dedicated out of pauls valley Oklahoma this job has way more benefits way better pay and you're treated a lot better thanks for making these videos because I would have never knew about Crete Carrier God bless have a good day keep tracking

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Hello Robert!! Glad to hear our videos helped you find a better job! We are happy for you!!! We were at the Paul’s Valley Walmart a few weeks ago. Pretty country around there! And nice and flat. So good mpg. 😁 Welcome to Crete! Hope we meet you some day! And, if you haven’t done so yet, would you please be so kind to give them our referral code, SLOKEV. We’d be very grateful!! 🤩😃

[@truckingwithj7202]

When comparing d&h vs live loading, you have to consider the time it takes to find an empty trailer when one isn't at the original customer, and getting that trailer repaired if needed. Keeping the same trailer, you know it's in good shape.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Yes. Good point!

[@ThatNerdyTrucker]

Well I am in a bit of a different boat than you with being on dedicated but I still work for Werner….. honestly I believe it would do both companies some good to check out what you have to say with comparing the two because I believe it would make both of them better if they actually listen

I remember the day in 2015 when somebody from Werner called and begged me to stay after a couple of weeks notice. There were a few reasons why I switched to Crete. I told him that they pay more per mile. He said that they may not give you many miles. That was totally wrong. Those split loads kept me from moving. I would wait for another load after dropping at terminals and yards almost every time. It would most likely be the next day for another load. With Crete, they have kept me moving all the time for seven years now. I appreciate the Crete driver who talked me in to it. He drove for Werner as well and discussed the same issues that I had with them as well.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Yes! Those splits really messed up long runs and cost time and money. Glad Crete is going well for you!?

[@Bendigo1]

Having a plan before you are done with the first one is sooo much better. My company tries to plan ahead but because of the runs we do it isn't always possible. I can't stand waiting at the last stop to figure out which way to head from there. Especially when they are trying to kick you out but theres nowhere to park anywhere nearby.

[@colleenedward1706]

As team drivers for crete my late husband and I rarely had live loads. The most difficult was having to deliver in California on a Friday because there were rarely empties available on Fridays. One Friday I spent my whole shift driving to different customers looking for an empty.

[@GeneMartin-e3i]

You have good load planners and/or asset managers. I sit long time after empty for preplan. It all depends on load planners & asset managers. The good ones send preplans before your empty. Congratulations to you for great load planners and asset manager. Yes, live loads suck. We all have them, they do waist our time. You are doing all the right stuff in making it stress free.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Oh man! That is NOT good! Sorry to hear that! It has been slower than when Kevin started, but he does generally have a pre-plan before he delivers (though sometimes he has to bug them). And sometimes the loads are not good use if his time at all so he turns them down as unproductive. Can you ask for a different asset manager if this one isn’t keeping you busy and productive?

[@michaelroot4051]

Keven I have been working for Crete for 6 years and I have some feedback that might be helpful to you. Running day shift there are more live loads offered on pre plan’s. I run night shift and get mostly all drop hooks, And if your looking to make money ask for loads going west and you will get long loads. Also you can always find a parking spot at the end of your shift. BTW. I most always get my mileage and safety bonuses each quarter. Well I hope that helps, and I too stay out 3 weeks at a time. Good to have you at Crete

With t1 inspect, I only have to stop and do that if it's not going to inconvenience the load. I found the best way to do it if you have to is to just go and stay all night at one of our terminals and let second shift do it while you sleep

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Yes. Only do it if ‘convenient.’ We don’t get to terminals often, though we’ve heard from a number of Crete drivers that they do it like you describe. So far we only tried it once. Got there at 3pm. Shop open until 2:30am. We left at 7am. They had not had a chance to do the T-1. That was disappointing. ☹️

Makes sense Crete has tons of live loads. Every shipper and reciever i go to you see rows of swift, Werner, jb hunt, etc, but only a couple of Crete trailers. That just means they don't have many trailers sitting at around to preload and have it sitting for easy drop and hooks. Its about time they start investing in extra trailers

[@williampeters6004]

Excellent job Kevin. You're right about the communication. They're pretty good with that here and they seem to care about the driver more than the other companies I've been at. I remember when you talked about how the Freightliner kind of drifts a little bit or is it extremely sensitive to how the road is and it will make you drift for that reason. Have you ever come up with any thoughts or ideas on what's possible to be done with this issue? I feel the same way you do

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Kevin thinks it might be the shorter wheelbase and age of truck. But no solid conclusion. Now we know he’s not alone! 😃

If they require drivers to spend the time on trailer maintenance/inspection, they should at least give the driver a set amount to make up for lost time. I understand not wanting to pay per hour, because some drivers would definitely abuse that, but say an extra $50-$100 per required inspection.

After 2 months we said we want a new account and sat at the terminal for 3days before they could get us our dedicated account to get us home

I'm at a smaller company DHT ive been thinking of switching to crete only thing that worries me is the no APU, Looking for a larger company that has alot of terminals i could take my break at i hate truck stops

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Oh hello again! Lol!! Yes…Crete has a few terminals. I think Swift has the most…I think like around 40??? Crete has about 20. We stay at rest stops quite a bit as we aren’t big truck stop fans either (though we like the showers). One thing worth mentioning is that a lot of customers allow overnight parking at their places. The load description sent to Kevin will always specify that. So that might work well for you too in terms of avoiding truck stops. But, sadly, you are right…there are no APUs. The Opti-Idle can be very annoying. Let us know if you have any other questions.

What is the purpose of splitting all the loads at Werner? I haven’t heard Kevin say anything about that to much at Crete. I’m just trying to find out if there is a purpose for them to do that. Thanks.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

We don’t really understand why Werner does that. Other than we have heard that they like to give them to local drivers. But it doesn’t make sense to us and is very frustrating for drivers. They say it’s to help drivers get to hometime. But Kevin started looking at loads and they were split many times, way too many for that to be the reason. At Crete they do not split loads unless you ask for it because of timing issues making the load unproductive for you. It’s one of the things we love about Crete. 😃🥰

I also had to keep changing my plans at least one day a week. Not knowing where I will end up sleeping and possibly no shower was stressful because of swapping with another driver at a truck stop. I have to specifically plan my trips. Every single day, I worried about messages coming through to swap while ruining my plans. Then it may be a live unload at a consignee with no overnight parking and my hours running low while not knowing how long it will take. The dispatchers did not know or so they say as to how long I would be there. So how was I to know? These swaps and splits were forced on me or so I thought. I did not have much experience at the time not realizing that I did not have to accept it. These dispatchers acted like I had to. Crete never tried to force me to drop at a terminal or swap.

Good video. The Cheyenne terminal has about 10 lazy boy recliners if you want to kick back. Remember Crete is a profit sharing company also - don’t want them to waste money on unnecessary things - it will lower your share of the yearly profit deposited into your retirement account. When I have a trailer needing a t-1 I try and take my 10 hour break at a terminal. I unhook from it and tell the shop. Most of the time it is taken care of while I do my laundry or sleep.

However, I have some money set aside, and can pay the $5,000 for the Tennessee Truck Driving School. I will contact Roadmaster to see if theirs is a better program. The only issue with TTDS is that they don't help you get the additional endorsements.

[@lilredone3924]

Your welcome

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Hey there. Sorry for slow reply. Yes. We think Werner is a good company for rookies. The pay is decent for starting and they have a lot of different accounts. Terminals are nice and give you a chance to meet other drivers to talk and learn. The training you can do online is an excellent resource and the simulator provides good training!! Kevin credits his blowout training on simulator for preparing him to handle the real life blowout we had in a safe manner. You’ll have frustrations, for sure, but we think it’s a good place to start. That said…Kevin got his CDL with Phoenix Truck Driving Institute for $4,000 that he paid out of pocket. Then he worked for Werner and got tuition reimbursement. If he’d gone to Roadmaster it would have cost more. The training is probably better, but you don’t have to go to Roadmaster to work for Werner. As for endorsements…you can do that yourself. No problem. Study the info and write the tests. The schools do t contribute anything to that. Hope that info helps!! Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

If you think back I bet Crete told you the average drop and hook for OTR drivers is 73%. It’s in the recruiting hand out. If you are at 70% you are real close and I bet over a year’s time you will be right at 73%. I keep track like you and my average is right at 75% for the past 10 years - they tell the truth. If you want a higher percentage look into a dedicated account - they have some close to 100% d&h.

I drove for Werner back in 2007 when I got my CDL. They were my starter company and I had issues from day 1. My trainer was a heavy smoker which I requested a non smoker trainer,he was extremely nasty kept pee bottles everywhere. He also forced me to sleep on the top bunk while he drove,back then and I’m sure that today they run it as a team truck. I started at .26 cpm and after taxes I only net around $370 a week. I wanted to get my 6 months experience and after 6 months, I left. Werner then reported that I abandoned the truck after I quit which was a lie! My home terminal was in Allentown PA which I think they moved since or Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania and I left the truck at the Allentown terminal and gave the keys to the office staff. I had to get legal help from a organization that helps truck drivers to get that abandoned truck off my DAC. I would never ever recommend Werner to anyone.
