30,000 miles = 1 week paid vacation. How can you go wrong?

If Celadon's payscale could match Crete's I would leave Crete in a heartbeat. Just for that vacation time.

Getting time off at Crete can really be a pain at times.

rod172, I take it your a driver for Crete, maybe you can answer this question. Does Crete let you take your truck home on your days off? Or do you have to park at a terminal or other "approved lot".

Xelectro - We don't have a lot of freight in and out of that area. Roughly 30-40 loads a week.

As far as getting off, they are addressing the issue and it will take time, but right now the top guys are wanting to get drivers home every 10-14 days for a couple of days off for those that want to be home that soon. This is gonna take communication and patience between the driver, terminal manager and dispatcher.
