hey fellas we're gonna have a little talk today about why I chose Crete over
all the rest of the carriers let's do it
okay why I chose Crete when I was at my last company I didn't decided that I was
just gonna go buy a truck so I was tired of the drama so I always keep a big list
of potential companies that I may want to do business with Crete was on that
list so I was going back over the list and checking all of them how to key in
like I do every six months or so and see what's changed when I heard the coach
talking about their purchase plan I was going to go to Freightliner and buy a
truck he just financed it through pinnacle and that's a big pain in the
butt I've done it lots of times but I guess that's paying the button so I went
ahead and called up these guys and their purchase plan was good I'll do it
another video and the purchase plan but that wasn't going to be the clincher of
it though it was the other things it was the amount of team Freight that this
company had and knowing the size of the company and who they haul for if they
haul for Walmart so much they haul for Walmart so much they have shops in the
Walmart DC's not all of them but some of them I find that very interesting all
right this one here actually does pay their detention I will not say it's a
lot of detention it's 24.9 that's not a lot now I have collected $4 of detention
while I have been here because I've only loaded and unloaded two times all the
rest of everything else has been
dropping hooks I mean I just cannot complain about dropping hook yes the
part where you make more and percentages is great because in some ways you do you
you really can to good on percentages but the whole idea of dropping and
hooking is just great especially when you're a team there
insurance program wasn't bad if I want the insurance I'm a vet so I don't worry
about that but but my baby she I have to worry about that with her you know other
things like that
now as far as their own operate and go if you've never been an owner operator
whether you had a payment as an owner operator or your truck was paid off this
company is they really expect you to do it on your own what that's the way it
should be I mean that's but a lot of guys they don't understand if they think
the company is going to teach you how to own or operate and that's not what the
company is here for I mean you can call up Gavin Rutherford or watching them and
he'll teach you if you want to learn how to own or operate watch Kevin Rutherford
not anyone on here but there's oh yeah they got just great programs
if you run 44,000 miles your first year the next year they pay from your base
plates well that's $1600 savings the two don't
you don't have to worry about so I for money back in your pocket
I like their fuel program quite a bit I went over it before I came over here and
of course I couldn't get 100% down and just I didn't have a card and then when
I got did get a fuel card from them I started comparing it all across the
country and it's held true I've got my fuel savings I've done great and I can't
put an average on it because some days it's 68 cents and some days it's 50
cents and it fluctuates all over the country but that's going to be tied in
with your iftar and that's another video that where I'm going to have to explain
to you have how if the works because when you're fueling out here you don't
just feel enough to put the load on you you fuel to make them to save money on
your iftar but when when you have a fuel solution you also have to take that into
account and the amount of savings you're going to get with the program so there
are two totally different things and both of them are really good over here
I'm not in any way trying to recruit anyone I don't I don't want no
recruiting bonuses I don't even ask I don't you know I'm not gonna yeah you
don't need my employee number you don't need my name just gold go work if you
want to like I said my last company was was really good I like them too I just
didn't like the internal squabble that was going on so that was a good company
but um I didn't since I sold off my fleet I didn't need to lease anymore I
didn't need the tax advantage so I found this to be a good fit and we've we've
averaged 7,000 miles a week week in week out I don't have any problem with that
that might be running a little hard but as a team that's how I want to run my
days the trucker are running down they're not going up I'm getting you
know I'm getting older and this might be a company that I might
want to finish up with or hell who knows I might want to go haul some government
Freight because if you want to make real money that's what you do is you go hog
government trade but I don't know if I feel like doing it but anyway I just
want the God let you know why we came to Crete besides it's a really cool name
man Crete you know cool night all right have a
great day guys
