Does Crete pay for lumpers ?
Is Crete pretty good to get you home when you are ready to go home? I'm only wanting to stay out about 18 days before I go home.
Do they have the ez pass, prepass? Do they reimburse you for the Ohio Turnpike?
Not sure of any other questions.....I don't like NYC, but the drivers I have talked to said they have never had to go, although it is always possible they said.
Anyways, thanks for your time

1. Crete has freight every where. I'm sure they could get you plenty of west coast if that's what you want, but if you are on the national board you will probably see some east coast too. May want to ask about regional to the recruiter. They do supply chains to each truck for you to use if necessary. I have not worked through a winter yet with them, but from what my fl said, they won't force you to chain up.
2. Crete does pay for lumpers. They will give you a comcheck (you don't have to pay out of pocket unless you want to and wait to get reimbursed) to pay lumper and you just have to turn in the reciept.
3.They try to get you home when you ask. Sometimes it may be a day or two late or even a day early. They won't have a problem with you staying out 18 days and would give you 3 days off I think.
4.They supply ez pass. They do not supply pre pass. They reimurse you for OH or any turnpike, AS LONG AS it is on the route they send you. (they reimbuse you for CAT scales too)
5.They don't have much freight going to NYC. They pay an extra $100 to go out there. I have had one load to Long Island, NY so far. Only run i've had to New England is one run to CT. A lot of mid west and south east for me, which is what I wanted. I started the end of April, and in my first 4 months, including the days I've had off, I've ran about 40,000 miles in a '06 Century class FL.
Hope this helps!
