Does Crete do hair follicle drug testing
@@704queencitygoon6 Yes. They do.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY ON THE BALL CHECKING AND DOUBLE CHECKING YOUR PAPERWORK. IT SAVED YOU A LOT OF GRIEF BY TAKING THE EXTRA TIME TO WORK THINGS OUT WITH YOUR DMS. JUST TO SHOW THAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS SO VERY IMPORTANT TO BEING SUCCESSFUL IN THIS BUSINESS. GREAT JOB KEVIN!
Thank you so much!!!
I hauled cars for 35 years 35 years never bumped a dock in my life but crete sure makes it easy with all your drop and hooks be safe
Wow! What a career!! Sadly right now Kevin has more live loads than drop and hook. 😣😣😣
Yep they need to mark the lanes to let drivers know what ones to use
Yup! We were lucky no one was behind us.
Seriously..a large company put upsigns to help drivers !!!You've got to be kidding
I drove for Crete in1987/88
…and then?
Now that you two are with Crete? It’s fun to see your experience going to all the places I’ve been to myself. You two are great. Keep wheels turning. Stay safe.
🥰👍😃
If anybody from Crete watching it’s evident how studious Kevin is towards his job perhaps you could reward them with a truck that has a bigger inverter so at least they could boil some water
This is a great way to advocate for them. Way to go. 🤩
Thanks Allen!!!
Kevin your attention to detail is impeccable as always. I learn so much from just watching you. You can never take anything for granted. And you my friend prove that everyday. . You are a Credit to your profession. A Tanja you do a great job as well filming the trip and making me laugh. I thank you for that. Y'all are always such a joy to watch. Stay safe and Keep on Truckin.
Thank you so much Dan for your kind words!!!
Riding with you is a great way to start your Thursday. Stay safe.
🤩🤩🤩
Great video. Stay safe out there
Thank you! You too!
I used to also work for Werner , hopefully I will join Crete soon.
That would be great! We are definitely happy with the change and increased income. Our videos should help you get a good insight what it's like driving for Crete. Thay are not perfect, but overall, we are very happy! If you find that they are a good fit for you, please be so kind and give them Kevin's referral code, SLOKEV. We would very much appreciate that! In the meantime, if you have any questions we can answer, let us know. Thanks for watching!! Drive safe! Have fun!
Don't waste ur time
You can skip all the spaces on the loaded call that aren't starred red...
Well done. He dont forget if you black a trailer get out and look. So driver hit something and don't get out of look. You did good you 👏 took your time. And not in a rush. I wish all drive can do that.
Thank you so much!!!
Unilever in Edwardsville used to have a scale on outbound side before you got to the gate. If overweight, they sent you back to a dock to have it corrected. Wouldn't let you leave overweight. Depended on which guard was on duty if you could get axle weights. Some would, some refused
Hmmmmm. Didn’t see a scale. Did we miss it??
Sure, let's have a place where there's a lot of truck traffic, but not have the lanes marked on which ones you want the trucks to use. Makes perfect sense.
🤣😂🤣😆😆😁
Always CYA because "That's Trucking"
Yup!!
Great and very helpful information. ❤️ Kevin and Tonya 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯💯💯💯
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching!!
Yall make Me miss Crete alot 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
I used to drive on the reefer end going almost everywhere across country Shaffer main places where they had loads like crazy was california and Illinois.one of the best companies I driven for in my 6yrs driving I just got sick and my vision started to decline on me so I am out of commission for now but I've dealt with wrong seal numbers before but they was fast with mine the ppl in the office just ripped that BOL and started a new one with the right seal LOL...thank u both for taking us along with u I'm happy to witness your journey and I am a new SUB 😁😁
Welcome Arthur!! Thanks for subscribing to our channel! We are happy to have you along, riding with your favorite company!! Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your eyesight! We hope that it improves again and are sending you good healing vibes!!! Thanks for sharing your seal story with us and The Joy of Trucking community! We hope you continue to enjoy our videos!!!
Dropping suspense again! Like the soap opera, 🎶"The Days of Joy Trucking" 🎶 🤣
😁
I think that happens when plans get changed and the sequence isn't set up right by whoever puts it in the system or if things are mixed up.
🤔
It happens sometimes with t-calls. something wrong with the software I guess. Our Asset manager, Rodger, was aware of this and called us to make sure we did it...
Good to know! Thank you!
We would like to see how you manage meals or cooking in the truck
Unilever? Lol. Ask them why they discontinued the choco taco. Lol.
😆🤣😆😂🤣😆😃
I had a load that had ta seal number on the BOL, but the seal wasn’t on the trailer doors. Went to the guard post and advised them, he told to just go ahead and leave. I said nope.
Then he wanted me to open the trailer and look for the seal on the floor, again I responded, no.
Finally after a few minutes he exited the building with a seal in his hand, different number than on my BOL. Made him send the BOL back to the shipping office and have it updated.
Took me 30 extra minutes to get their mistake corrected.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Good thing you persisted!!!
You can ask them to let you video him telling you it's ok to leave...that usually solves their reluctance to do their job
Tycker om era videos jag är svensk lastbilschaufför har kört i 30 år nu goggla så hittar ni sweden
Pickup a trailer with two seals & they matched the BoL but note said delivery didn’t want seals only 2 padlocks. Warehouse wanted seals, driver had to pull seals and document 🔐 number’s on BoL. So much work for the drivers 🥱. Be safe!
😳😳😳
Crete wants every loaded trailer scaled out no matter the weight. I pull finished paper products and weigh 10k to 15k and every load is scaled. If you think your load shifted rescale. If you’re legal but want to adjust your tandems scale again
If you give another truck driver a ride, then Crete wants you to weigh again.
😳😳😳
@@curtis7599 What about after a big breakfast at Denny’s?
@@TheJoyofTrucking You will have to drop a load.
When do you go home? Is Crete strict on the 3 weeks out 3 days off?
Don’t know how strict they are. We’ll need time to see about that. 😉
You forgot to put tandems to the rear Unilever.
If there’s a sign or they ask, he generally does. 🤔
@@TheJoyofTrucking The lady you spoke to did mention the tandems on the speaker.
@@markpage533 Rewatched the video and Kevin was reading the sign. “Slide tandems to 5 holes from back once you turn engine on.” But then it also said 15 seconds to get through the gate. So he hurried up. And…it does look like he then forgot to adjust tandems. Luckily he normally does it. But good catch on your part.
Still better than Werner also they used to let me trade loads with other drivers to get home
👍😃👍😃
Weigh almost any load !!!!! As long as the company pays for it..14 years ago I had a 20000# load of office max..pulled into scale..guess what .500# over on tandems ..come to find out they had all fluff in the nose and 8 skids of paper on the rear..learned a very very valuable lesson...do not trust pre loaded trailers!!!!!!!!!
😳😳😳
Too bad you couldn't keep the new trailer.
She was a beauty!!!
When you're dealing with stupid, you always have to check.
😳
What's the HT for Crete? 1 week out. 1 day HT?

Not impressed with the people net operating system. I’ve used all the other ones and people net is not user friendly.
Wasn’t fair to say it was the worst. There are other systems out there that I haven’t used but so far People net isn’t up to speed.
Sorry to say, but Kevin agrees. Kevin thinks Werner’s system was much better. Let’s see how Crete catches up on that front. 😃
You guys never been to a trucking bank?
We prefer the RV drive through bank. :-)
cant figure out why some of you drivers when u crank the landing gear down you just dont let a few inches off ground and drop air bags instead like i saw you lower to ground and give 3 or 4 more cranks this makes it hard on next driver when he or she pu the trailer when its loaded with 40.000 plus no disrespect i just cant figure what the reason is some of you do this i pu a number of trailer where driver crank the landing gear too far and iam having to crank in low gear forever its always better to leave about 3 to 4 inches off ground and drop airbags
Where are you going?
Tomorrow 😁😁😁😁🥰
Where y’all headed?
More shall be revealed tomorrow. 😉
What type of phone mount is kevin using?...
He bought it at a truck stop. It fits in a cup holder. Works well but limits cup holders which are already less in Freightliner than our KW.
@@TheJoyofTrucking Thanks.. Be safe 💯
