Crete, Wel Or Martin????
Topic 3673 | Page 1
Welcome cRiderzGurl.....glad you found us. Redgator drives for WEL...and she really likes it. So I'll let her fill you in on it. I'm not sure of the pay scales on most companies, since they change all the time. But I do know that Schneider pays very well, and they have a tanker division...so they may be worth checking out. I'll do a little research, and see if I can get back to ya with any more info..Check around the site, and feel free to post here, or on the general forum...the guys might have some insight on Maten and Crete...

Thanks for the response. I just left Schneider and although it's a great company, the consistent money isn't there. I will repost for the guys to respond.

I drove tankers for my 1st year. Now I'm ready to move on and expand. So, I'm looking into a new company. After several phone calls and emails, my top 3 are Crete, Wel and Marten. But I'm so indecisive that I can't make up my mind. Can you ladies help me by providing some perspective on any of these companies? Or if you have others for me to consider, they will be appreciated.
BTW ~ Although I only have 13 months OTR experience, I do have my HAZMAT , doubles/triples, TWIC and, of course, tanker endorsements. I wanted to get into heavy haul and over-sized loads. I also have a min $0.41/mile with somewhat decent home time requirements.
Thanks in advance
HAZMAT:
Hazardous Materials
Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Doubles:
Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
