At my company, I didn't have to write the numbers down, because they have an app. I just take my phone to the shipper/receiver to give them the numbers they need. I send Running Late, Loaded Call, Empty Call, Arrival Calls etc through the app. Scanning paperwork is also done through the app. All work is done on phone.
@TheJoyofTrucking
@TheJoyofTrucking Месяц назад
Crete drivers can also use only the app on their phones. Kevin is ‘old fashioned’ and likes a written record of all his loads. And…if something were to happen to his phone he’ll still have the load information on hand.

Thanks! Yes. We like the long runs as well. They aren’t always long, but mikes are always decent. Especially when drivers communicate with their asset managers if the use of HOS isn’t productive. Need to speak up about it. Asset managers will try their best. Better for driver and the company.

I was just watching another guy who is local to me. He's driving for Crete/Shaffer driving a refer. I can't wait to land a otr job. I've had my class b for 6 years as a power line clearance bucket truck operator and a trash truck/ heavy equipment operator for a college for 3 years. I'm going to school for my class A this fall and I'm worried I won't get a job because they want a year of class A otr even though I have "commercial driving experience" I'm sure I can get a local dump truck job due to all the quarries around me. Just sucks to have to take another job in a completely different lane to get the job you want.

That’s a lot of Class B experience!!!! If you want to drive OTR that’s not a problem!!!! Most companies that hire new drivers offer them OTR. You can go to Werner, Swift, Schneider, Stevens, Knight, etc….We’d suggest calling Crete to see how much time you’d need driving with your Class A. It’s usually between 8-12 months depending on the experience, school, starter company. Who knows, maybe they give you some ‘credit’ for your Class B experience. Otherwise just start with a company that takes rookies and then move up to better paying company as soon as you can. Either way you’ll definitely be able to go OTR and make your dream come true!!!

It's great to see you guy again. Seeing you load up your stuff for the run made me very jealous. I can remember loading up my truck for trips and not being able take nearly as much stuff as you, as I had a cabover with a 24 inch sleeper and that was all. What ever I wanted to take had to fit in the jump seat and on the bunk. Of course when I had to sleep I had to take all of the stuff off the bunk to be able to sleep. Oh, those were the days!!🙄

I do have a question though. I keep getting mushrooms coming up and I pull them out. I don’t have mushrooms anywhere else in landscaping. The only difference I can think of is the soil I purchased for the planter. Is it possible the soil had mushroom fungi in it?

Good for you! Those are awesome! It’s funny you’re asking landscaping questions on our trucking channel. But…seems you’ve heard Kevin was a landscaper (tropical plants). 😆😆😆 Maybe he needs an additional channel? 😆😆😆 To answer your question…it’s not our specialty…but, yes…soil could have fungi spores and they like moisture.

No. Outward facing camera for the lane deviation warning. And our Garmin OTR710 with dashcam. Crete does decide on an individual basis when drivers first start with them if they might temporarily put one in the cab. Depends on driving record and experience. Kevin had one for his first 60 days.

Do you have any pieces of advice for those who are going to do the road test during the unboarding at Crete?
@TheJoyofTrucking
@TheJoyofTrucking Месяц назад
Nothing particular. You’ll do a pre-trip. If you’re not familiar with Freightliner (Kevin had been driving a KW) it’s ok to say that or ask a question if it’s different. Then you’ll do a short drive and finally park the truck back in the yard. At Lenoir City…do not turn right when leaving the terminal. When and where is your orientation?

We read the ingredients and try to get the purest we can. No preservatives. No sugar. Organic if possible. Usually buy at Costco or Amazon.

Didn’t you just hook up to the trailer? Check the cab of the truck before you hook up. ? 😮

What they mean you can see a lot more on the tractor without being hooked up to the trailer. Example drive shaft , u joints , inside of tires ( they could have a cut in them that you wouldn’t otherwise see) , possible cracks in tractor frame etc . I have had my cdl’s for 33 years and was mechanic for 47 years. There are just things that you can’t see with the trailer hooked up.

If someone is vegan and doesn't like hauling meat. Can he negotiate with the asset manager not to haul certain products?

@TheJoyofTrucking Месяц назад
We’ve not heard of drivers requesting exceptions for loads based on religion or ethics. That’s a question for recruiting or something you might be able to work out with your asset manager (especially if you have a good relationship). But if not, we think with dry van, the chances of meat product loads are very slim. In Kevin’s two years with Crete he’s only had a couple loads that included some type of meat product (that we were aware of). Sometimes drivers don’t know the details of their loads. For example, Walmart loads of mixed goods don’t necessarily list the details of what all is included. Could just be codes and numbers on the paperwork.
