The Sterling WalMart fleet is definitely the black sheep fleet of the company. There is a thread on it if you want to do a search. There is a small number of drivers that work out of there full time, but because the company can't keep it fully staffed they eventually send drivers from the national fleet up there to do a one week tour of duty once a year. It's a nightmare deal and it is difficult to get more than 1500 miles in a week due to the logistics of the load. A number of drivers would go up there and get so upset that they would quit in frustration. Most of which are the same drivers that fail to see the big picture and hop around hopelessly form job to job.
The good news is that the contract is up or the two companies have decide to part ways and Crete has no intention of renewing it. From what I hear, Mid September will be the end of it.
The other WalMart fleets that Crete pulls out of are working out great from what i hear.
As far as the competing message board, if it's the one I'm thinking of, complaints seem to be the norm, that is one dark hole of negativity.
