In May this year, the assistant terminal manager at the Crete Wilmer terminal told me that the lenght of haul was going to drop, and I would be spending more time and more time in the Midwest, meaning more unpaid time logged on line four, and still having problems getting home when needed. And since my home in Texas was just outside the zone, Mid South regional was out of the question. Add to this his comment that dispatch was not required to get a driver home, only to keep them moving, I realized it was time for a change. home daily, and know who cooks my meals.

But when many drivers have a problem getting home, even for vacation, like the driver I met in SLC who lost over $3000.00 in travel reservations because Crete would not get him home in time for vacation. Or the driver living in Iowa who was told by his terminal manager to get sick on his home time, because he would not be routed home for a medical appointment. I have been within 150 miles of home, with an appointment and home request on the truck, only to be sent 900 miles in the wrong direction. You seem to find every thing about Crete to be picture perfect. Question, are you really a driver?

Ask yourself this: with the economy in the doldrums and lots of rate-cutting going on, how is it that SNI is able to raise prices to offset the supposed pay increase?
These mega-haulers are experts at robbing Peter to pay Paul - they've been doing it for years. When all the shells get moved around on the carny table, you're looking at the same money or less. And last I looked, prices aren't going DOWN in the stores.
