Looking at Celadon and I was hoping to hear the good, bad and ugly from those who have experienced this company. Thank you for your time and input!

i read in landline magazine celadon bought a mexican trucking company and they are among the big companies lobbying in dc to get those mex trucks running all over. landline said a memo was stole from their office last year saying their looking for big profits with mex drivers making 19cpm. if you have no experience that might be good swapping trailers on the border while you still can. i hope the experience drivers would quit so they cant drive our wages down but theyve known of this for a year.they just gonna take one for the team i guess.if you got a year exp please go to a company like crete that will pay you 43 cpm

 

Thanks Homer, I'll go and check out the crete company website. You can send a PM if you want me to put you down for the referral bonus.

murph.my company sucks. i said dont got to celadon.if you got some experience got to crete.they will pay you and they probably arent trying to out source our jobs like celadon.if i sell my house i would go there,but they dont have a yard around here.

 

i pass celedon drivers and marten drivers everyday

with my 65 mile an hour crete century

all drivers will have gripes about their companies

of the 3 i have worked for

crete is the best

another poster here states its like a marriage

you find a way through the bad parts and make it work

there aint a trucking company around that wont have driver gripes

 

Crete it is!

 

pm me if you want to know how to easily beat the gripes

the other crete driver here probably has

your biggest headache is planning your 15k service intervals

to not cost you a run

 

Murph I also drive for Celadon... I also decline to provide my driver # and dismiss the $1000 bonus money for same. This company is determined to replace EVERY driver w/ .19 cents per mile Mexicans w/ green cards. They finance US CDL training for Mexicans.

Be advised last month they fired all but 10 or so of their Meixcan drivers due to a lawsuit by the Mexicans claiming discrimination and racketeering! They are waiting for the DEMs to grant Amnesty to 50 million illegal Mexicans and then u bet all of Celadon drivers will be at "training wages" of .19 per mile!

If these Mexicans want better jobs and lives they need to effort it in their own country, not come here and steal it from Americans.

Here's an article about it: Be advised this was originally a PDF file of the Tombstome paper but mysteriously this particular issue has suddenly been eliminated from the available archived docs. I saved it on my hard drive but Google doesn't permit PDF uploads so I saved it as a text then uploaded it. (grin) If you want the original PDF (9 pages) PM me and I will send it.

These Celadon guys are traitors to America and profiteers. They (Russell Chairman, Glaser CEO, Wills CFO... I have met and spoken to all three) only care about the money FOR THEMSELVES and nothing else.

I'm headed to Crete soon also. $10K more per year AND practical miles!

 

Appreciate the knowledge brother.
