Anyone drive for Crete? How do you like it over there? They hired me and want me to head to orientation asap but i told them I'm gonna wait and "shop around" a little more. Also they said they'd start me out at .49 cents a mile hauling a dry van which worries me because that seems pretty high which makes me think ill be sitting alot and getting low miles.

SAP:

Substance Abuse Professional

The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare.

Dry Van:

A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.

Did you ask about the average miles? That would be almost 1k per week with only 2000 miles. Crete is a fairly big operation. Did you ask if it was a Dollar account?

That's about what I make but I'm flatbed so I gotta do stuff. Not sure what kinds miles they get, only that their trucks are alway in the way lol.

I have been with Crete one year now. I love the company and have no doubt I made the right choice. I am on the walmart dedicated so I'm not 100% sure on the national rates but I know the longer you agree to stay out the more they pay. That 49cpm sounds more like the Shaffer side but I could be wrong. I can vouch it is a great company with great benefits. Trucks are well maintained and they truly are a safety first company. I hope this helps and if you have other questions I am glad to try and help.

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
