Crete Carrier Corp.

just let me say sorry for bringing up an old topic but i can see there is not a lot on here about crete and was wondering if anchorman still worked there if so could i ask some questions. I do have some good ones on here like about hunt, pay, miles, hometime, teams, and training. Thanks.

I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about Crete. Please feel free to send me a private message anytime if you would like also.

i have sent plenty of pm to other guys and not got any back so i probably not doin something right do they come to my email or something sorry not tech savvy at all. Hell i dont even know how to work a smart phone. So ill just ask the questions on here and hopefully other students will be able to read this get help.

so about hunt i hear with crete must have a year of exp to get into that division is it hard to get switched over there? Do you what the pay is over there? I wanna do flatbed but i have heard mix things like; just jump right into it out of school and have read from brett that students should do dry van or reffer first and get used to the road and life as a trucker before trying flatbed.

So do you know how many miles the regional guys are getting per week and are you in that division? are the guys in that division getting there hometime and is it at least enough for a 34 hour restart?

do you know anyhing about teams i heard they split the miles per week and pay each driver .44 cents per mile so if the truck goes 6000 miles each driver gets paid .44 cpm for 3000 miles is that true?

how was training did you run teams the second month of training and was first month easy well let me rephrase that did they push you hard or was that just in the second month?

yea i know thats a lot of questions but crete has always been in my top five companies and i am considering them for teams with a classmate or just solo.

Any response to a private message will come to your email address that you gave when you signed up.

You have to have 1 year experience to get on with Hunt which you would then start out at 45 CPM.

I no longer work for Crete due to personal reasons that needed me back at home. I was working 12 days out and 2 days hometime. I was getting the normal average miles. You should not have any trouble with hometime or miles if you stay on top of things.

I am not sure about teams. Teams usually split the pay and not the miles. So it would be 22 CPM for 6000 miles. I would check more in to that with a recruiter from Crete.

I did 8 weeks of training. I was never pushed hard in my opinion. I think there were only two loads that I ran as a team with my trainer and that was in my 7th week of training.

If you have any more questions or want more detail on something let me know. That is just all the time I have for now. Goodluck!

GA_Rookie... do you know if Crete accepts ONLY the schools listed within their website, or are they open to accept other schools not listed within their website?

Here is a list of Approved Schools for those of you who are interested. I do not think they will accept anywhere else. You are more than welcome to call a recruiter to verify. The number is 1-800-998-2221. I agree with skyflyer69. The schools on this list should be cheaper and have a better quality of learning. I chose the tech college route and would not have it any other way!

the aproved schools didn't work when I hit it guess I'll try something else and see what comes up, lol

Approved Schools

None of the ones in KY even mattter to them, they don't even list the state which is crazy as hell

If you have particular schools in mind you can call a recruiter and see if they accept recent graduates from that school. You can also ask the recruiter for a list of approved schools, if any, in Kentucky. It does seem weird that none would be listed so it may be an error. I would suggest calling Crete to verify.
