One more thing. I was sitting in our KC terminal doing some paperwork and I see one of our O/O's pass by the fuel pumps and park way out in the back forty of our lot.

I finish my paperwork and walk out there and strike up a convo with him. He had lots of chrome. Dash fully chromed out, chickenlights, a duck hood ornament :lol: clear LED's all over his truck, front to back. It was really sweet looking! He let me climb up in it to see all the chrome and other mods he made on the truck. He took his truck down to W. Memphis after he got it to TMI Trailers, LLC (he gave me a business card, looking at it now).

Anyways, he paid over $7000 for all the stuff he did to that truck and he's going to do more. He pays $1700 a month truck payment and has had his truck for 13 months and is loving it.

So forgive me if it irritates me when someone who has never even has drove for Crete or has been and O/O and failed, tells me I can't do it.

No, TMI trailers is where he got all his chrome. That's the business card I was referring to.

Is there a reason you're avoiding the question???????? I only ask because the sale price and interest rate sound like what Crete advertises on their website.

I personally don't see what difference it makes where he buys the truck. I've done my homework on buying through Crete(Capital Casualty) and it's virtually the same as if you bought through a private institution with the exception of receiving a better interest rate than most would offer, especially for a used truck. That and you're more likely to get an accurate maintenance history of the truck than you would at a used lot.

Here's why I disagree with anyone who claims it's a mistake to buy through Crete(Capital Casualty). I personally spoke with Jack Peetz(executive vice president and chief operating officer of Crete) and asked him if there are any clauses, early termination penalties, minimum time frames, in short ANYTHING negative in the wording of the loan contract if you were to originally get your loan through them and at any later date decide to leave the company before the loan is fully repaid and was assured there's not. You'd simply have to secure financing elsewhere and pay off the remaining balance of the loan if you left.

Trust me, I know it's hard to trust anyone in this day and age. However, Crete is ethical and simply doesn't do business like several of the well known 'fleece purchase' companies out there that shall remain nameless. They don't push their truck purchase program in the least. There's a reason they don't have a reputation for screwing drivers who choose to use their truck purchase program and that reason is because they don't!

It's hard for me to explain what it's like working for Crete to someone who doesn't, because so much of what I get out of working here sounds intangible to someone who's not experiencing it first hand. I'd say words like contentment, honesty, integrity, respect and trust all come together to form piece of mind for me here and that's priceless!

Yeah and there was no need for 17 question marks either. :roll: (exagerate)

I'm tired and grouchy. I drank 2 20oz bottles of Vault. I've never tried it before and I heard a guy talking about how good it is on the CB. But I didn't realize that it "kicks like an energy drink" until I had drank both bottles 2 hours before bedtime. Man... I'm screwed...

Watch those so called energy drinks....they are loaded with caffine and that is hard on your BP and heart. Even if you are young and healthy!!
