Crete/Shaffer

anyone have any info on them on weather or not they are a good company for the drivers or not. from what ive seen on other forum websites they sound good but i trust people on this forum better. and i cant find their avg milage and i dont want to take a recruiter's word for it. i know ive talked alot about going to prime but im keeping my options open at the moment

Their average miles are just as good as anywhere else. Be aware that you must attend one of their Approved Schools though.

Thanks. as to the schools i got an email from the recruiter she said that military are not restricted in the schooling.

Had a friend who drove for Crete for many many years...he just loved 'em. I've seen Schaffer around, but have no info on them. Maybe someone else will.

Might want to get more details on this. I know the ex military can get fast tracked cause some get their cdl while in the military. You don't want to save money by going to Joe blow down the street and in the end can't get a job.
