OK ty both of you

Kevin . Glad you got some pay while you were shut down. Some is better than none. Be Safe.

I believe the Emergency Weather Detention pay is very fair. $150 per 24-hour period is far better than the $50 I received 15 years ago as a driver. Also, the risk of accidents, lawsuits, loss of life, damage to the company's image, and a whole host other other subjects is mitigated. Crete has made a good business decision, protecting the assets, drivers, and the motoring public.

I work for marten and they pay me 250 for inclement wheather

Thanks for sharing about Crete's Inclement Weather Pay! I am the Project Manager who was part of helping build the application the Ops team uses for Inclement Weather. It has been a very cool project to work on! Your videos are great, thanks for driving for Crete!

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

How cool!!! Nice to 'meet' you here, in the comments, Kim! Thank you for your helping to develop this new application! We really appreciate getting some compensation when having to shut down due to weather! We are very happy to have chosen Crete! We think it's a stellar company and gladly share our experience here on KZbin. Hopefully we can meet in person some day! Are you in Lincoln? If so...please be sure to stay warm and keep safe!!!

[@mariannejennisch9293]

Glad you stayed safe before coming thru Iowa here. Next week we have chances again of yucky weather.

Crete does pay well. Not many companies out there will pay when you have to shutdown for weather. Good on Crete!!

Well done Crete not the first time I was told to stand down due to weather conditions was told if you go to depot. you had to sit until you're shift finished but if you go home no payment or use a holiday regards from Scotland 🚛📹🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 3:50

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

👍👍👋👋👋Too bad your can’t go home. Nicer place to wait it out. Especially if you’re close by. 🤦‍♀️

[@randyalt370]

If Florida, your home state, had a storm like the one in Nebraska, it would be called snow storm-magadon.

I’m surprised you found parking at the Love’s in Aurora, NE.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Yes. We agree!!!

[@alfalfa5705]

Weather related shutdowns are part of Nussbaums weekly guarantee of $1500.00 for OTR drivers. Be safe out there drivers !!

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

That’s great!!! And your trailers have awesome graphics! 😉

[@bostarbird5282]

About time trucking companies start paying for the hours you loose that are out of your control. Sounds like you have a great company to drive for.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

👍👍👍

[@JohnSmith-ug5ci]

Good information.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

👍😃

[@SnowmanStart500]

Sounds like you're working for a really good company. We just get layover pay $150 per day. But i'm doing Team driving. I'm leaving out to San Francisco California tonight from N.C. is 2700 miles I think i'm gonna hit in a interstate I-40 And they're calling for warmer weather next Last week I was on interstate I-90 In Washington state That word it was really bad and lol of black ice. I was lucky to bring the truck in one piece to the yard here To North Carolina. Yeah man you be safe over there. 10-4 Come on

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Glad you stayed safe!!!!

[@thedale2112]

And, that's the way it should be. We get $165 per day at Leonard's Express for inclement weather or breakdowns that aren't your fault. As always, travel safely ✌🏼...

[@darylb5564]

Because of the weather I only got 1,400 miles this week. Thankfully my company pays t $1,350 a week and gives us the weekends off. I’ve never been treated better by any company.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

That’s great!!! Happy for you!!!

[@genecato5526]

Hey Kevin my name is Edward Gene Cato I will be coming on with Crete in a couple weeks. I will be putting you down as a referral I have been watching you since you been with them. My home terminal will be in Lenoir city where I live

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Hi Edward! Congratulations!!! 🎊 That’s great!! Who are you driving for now? We hope you have a really good experience with Crete!!! It’s still trucking, so nothing is perfect, 😉but as you’ve seen in our videos, we are happy here and think it’s a good company. You’ll see that there’s lots of old timers and people who say it’s the company they plan to finish out their driving career with. We are glad you’ve been ‘riding’ with us for two years already!!! 😃Thank you so much for using our code. We really appreciate that!!! Please introduce yourself if you see us somewhere along the way so we can thank you in person! We wish you a smooth transition! Let us know how it goes.

[@CSXOhioRailFanPlus752]

What about the invoices that the customer made you pay

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Crete sent EFT number for both invoices. Sorry if we didn’t make that clear enough.

[@timmcdermottgetgf2250]

Hi Kevin and Tonja

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

👋👋👋

[@DavidInPuyallup]

I'm curious how they handle the purchase of things like anti gel for the truck when you're not near a terminal. Do they give you funds up front? Add it at pump under additional products? You pay out of pocket and then they put it on your check? My current employer has us pay out of our pockets then apply for reimbursement. The cold temps have me going broke from buying anti gel

[@mulvi2152]

Marten pays 25$/hr or 250$/day

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

That is great for drivers!!!!

[@mulvi2152]

Yes, i am really glad to see drivers getting compensation for unavoidable incidents....now lets work on cpm rate...lol

[@ah4furnishings348]

Be safe

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Thank you!!! You too!

[@jimemmerling8706]

So they only pay you for 10 hours and not 11 hours. Does not seem right to me. So you get shut down 10 times hypothetical, you lose 150 dollars. Just saying.

[@tlyon5196]

While i agree with what you say, lets be honest. Unless you are looking to run your 70 out every week, your not running 11 hours a day every day.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Sure…more is always better. 😆😆😆And you are right, Kevin generally tries to run out the clock, so that’s $15 short…but…getting anything at all is an improvement. And…if you get shut down 10 times…OMG…time to find a new area/job. 🥶I’m thinking drivers with those type of jobs probably have a different pay structure. Kevin has only been shut down once in three years due to inclement weather. Last Christmas we got caught in ‘The Storm of a Generation’ but it was time for a reset, so that was perfect timing. When we got going again Kevin felt it was safe to drive.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

@@tlyon5196 Kevin tends to drive out his clock in 6 days, so he often runs very close to 11 hours. But…we are grateful to get any kind of inclement weather pay. Even if it’s a bit short.

[@vegandollsunited]

i will shut down every day for $150 a day. lol i'd rather do nothing and make that money

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

@@vegandollsunited 😆😆😆

[@johnapernorio8151]

$15 an hour cap at $150, that sucks.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

It’s better than before. A lot of companies pay nothing or push their drivers to keep going, even in bad weather.

[@vegandollsunited]

tell them i'm shutting down every day and to send me $150 each day forever! lol

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

😆😆😆I guess that’s why they have the caveat that they can check the weather. They might get suspicious if you’re shut down in Miami for a week and come back with a tan. 😆😆😆🌴

[@vegandollsunited]

I expect more from "family" lol@@TheJoyofTrucking
