What’s the pay do they have anything dedicated what type of experience..?
Not hirring. In CA
@@hectorgarcia-zv1wi They have different accounts, including dedicated. Kevin started at 62cpm for minimum 21 day out OTR48. You need a minimum of 6 months experience and then you’d still have to go out with a trainer. With 10 months experience they consider you with out needing trainer depending on who you drove for and your driving record. You can call the recruiters to get detail. See number in comment above or the description. Please be sure to use our referral code, SLOKEV, if you find Crete to be a good fit. We’d be very grateful! Let us know if you have any other questions.
Wasting time looking for empty trailers and not rolling is exactly why truck drivers should be paid for all time worked!
👍👍👍
You would think a company that big that they would have a dedicated empty trailer lot
All this technology today and these places can't tell you where your trailer is What BS be safe
Doesn't the company delivering to there tell Crete trailers that were emptied for you to not have to wander around or no ??
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Kevin's happiness faded away 99 trailers ago 🤣
😆😆😆
Fun fact: ALL trucking companies are cut from the same mold.
Don't expect 3000 mile weeks consistently. Expect 2200-2500 miles per week, average. The stars have to line up right to bench 3000....dispatchers, planners, shippers, and receivers. Remember that!
It'd be great for the dispatchers, planners and asset mgrs to watch this so they can understand why some simple drop/hooks take so darn long.
Good idea! 😃😆
Most of them already do. And a good number of them don't care.....
@@re4477 😳😳🤔🤔🤔
Kevin your a Saint behind the wheel.
Lol!!! Thanks!
You guys owed us a long video for being off so many days in a row! Kevin has some valid pet peeves😠
Lol!!! Indeed! I hope this one makes up for some of it. 🤪
Really- I was getting worried... "Where are Kevin and Tanja!!?!?" LOL
@@88KeysIdaho 😁😆😁😃🥰
Trailer search is part of the job. Happy trails.👍
Thanks!!! You too!
Wild goose chase
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I'm from Metro Detroit, Michigan. Welcome to Michigan guys! Funny how you pronounced Meijer. Meijer is a big chain grocery store here in Michigan kind of like Wal-Mart but better!
How do you pronounce it? I'm in the land of Albertsons/Safeway corporate, and no Meijer stores here. I wouldn't know either. It is just Mayer, like Oscar Mayer? or is it like Mayor (like in the city mayor?)
It's pronounced like "My-er"
The J is silent.
Thanks!!!
Your wife is Good company. Makes me feel at home.
Great to see longer videos from you guys. It’s also really nice that you guys are showing everything and not just the highlights, it’s important to remember that it isn’t all always sunshine and rainbows! Starting orientation at Crete tomorrow, hope to see you on the road!
Awesome!! What company are you coming from? Where are you doing your orientation? Kevin was in Lenoir, TN for his. Will you be doing OTR? We wish you great success and hope to meet you on the road. If you haven’t given them anyone‘s referral code yet, please be so kind and give them ours, SLOKEV. We’d very much appreciate that!! See you in a red truck soon! 😃😃😃
He's rolling that Semi like nobody's Business 👈🏼🥰....Be kind and Joyful...
You Two make Me Laugh! In a good way... I Love how You both get along..You both seem like good people! Be Safe and Thanks for Your Videos ! They are Awesome! Much Love from Northern Michigan..
👍😃🤩Thank you!!! We are happy to have you along!!
I understand your Frustration looking for an Empty Trailer.. They probably know where all the full trailers are.. My 3 cents says try a Yard Jockey, maybe they would be more obliging.. At least you'll be ready for a return visit knowing where to start your search next time.. Safe Travels..
👍👍👍
I've spent over an hour easy looking for an mt..don't you just love when you find one and it has a flat tire lol..learned that's the first thing to check after you do find one!
🤦♀️
Always ask the yard jockeys. They know it all.
Nice that you are showing what life is like being a trucker. Enjoyed the video and learned what life is like being a long distance trucker. Be safe and catch you on the next one. Enjoy your coffee and breakfast
👍👍😃🥰
Little tip Kevin. The detention form on the transflo app is easier than the paper and don't need a signature
Thank you!!!
i’d hate the empty trailer game they put you through almost every time
This was extreme. But it does happen.
Kevin start sending those detention papers and maybe your case manager will see that you have been sitting a long time at your loads and he will step up a task for money on carriers part try it it might work for you
👍 Thanks!
Big place like that should have a lot just for mt trailers.
👍👍👍
I used to drop and hook at the second facility you were at and it’s nightmare. I used to always have such a hard time finding empty trailers there too. I agree they need to improve the way they keep track of trailers better for drivers.
👍👍👍
Kevin, I know it doesn't seem right that you have to use your personal cell phone for business, but I remember when there weren't cell phones. You had to sit around the office waiting for them to tell you what door to back up to. Or sit in your truck and listen to the CB for them to call you. We (company truck drivers) used to be able to write our cell phone off on our taxes, but changes to the tax code ended that 🙄😔.
Yeah I don't get the grumbling about the cell phone either. If I woke tomorrow and found myself working for Pizza Hut or Walmart I would still have a cell phone and data for personal use anyway.
I agree though that entering my personal number into the kiosk is problematic
🤦♀️👍👍👍
I see you use that junk eld too..people net..it's always messing up..hate it..my company pays the drivers $5.40 a week for their cell fone
Well…that’s a start. Good to hear!
You will have those days when nothing seems to go right,hoever,when everything does finally fall into place we can always appreciate it when things could always be worst!
That’s true!
Prayers take to lord in prayer as he give you strength pass to go and forward walks
The dreaded search for an empty 😱. Thanks for the long video.
👍👍👍😃
Oh for the love….. that’s more than frustrating!!!! God bless you two and all truckers.
Thank you!!! You too!! 😃👍🙏🙏
That looks like a Schaffer truck in the background of a couple of shots. Schaffer and Crete are like 'sister' companies I believe.
Schneider has the contract and brokered the load is why
Interesting! Thank you! That explains it. Though we thought that Crete doesn’t do brokered freight. 🤔🤔🤔
@@TheJoyofTrucking every general freight company does broker loads. Crete doesn't work with small brokers, but they do occasionally use the larger ones to get freight in areas that they don't have anything. It's better than sitting around waiting for something. 👍🏼
@@TheJoyofTrucking actually doesn’t do brokered loads. What most likely happened was Schneider originally had the load and couldn’t make on time delivery and gave it up - Crete swooped in and took it. It just never got changed in the system.
@@truckingwithj7202 Thank you for that information!! 🥰
@@ramblingbill9101 Schneider Logistics gives loads to a lot of other companies, same as Schneider picking up other company loads.
This is why I chose to drive long-haul / relay when I was driving. The only people I depended on were people who worked within the company I was driving for. Had very little 'sitting around' time. However, I did have to frequent rail yards in the greater Chicago area just to get my freight (LTL). I was driving 'doubles' most of the time but about once per week I drove a long-box 48' or 53' trailer as well.
I was a truck driver for about 50 years but I worked for a private company didn’t have all that paperwork that you have and I wouldn’t want to be out as a day with all the traffic what I hear but I enjoy watching you people God bless what sorry
Wow! That’s a very solid career! You must have seen a lot of changes in the industry. Thanks for continuing your trucking with us. 😉😆😆😆
Classic case how major companies disrespect truck drivers !!!!!!
👍👍👍
"The Hunt For Red Crete Trailer". The Movie. Lol.
😆😆😆
The disdain i have when searching for empties cannot be described.....
👍👍👍
I thought I saw in a Crete video that they were installing trailer trackers for this kind of situation?
Yes…they’re making progress on that project.
Ah, yes. Nothing beats opening morning of empty trailer season. They are reputed to be extremely elusive. Only an experienced, season seeker of said wary creatures have success
😆😂🤣😆😆😆 Do you think a deer stand would help?
Originally Meijer's was called Meijer's Thrifty Acres. It's a super well run Corp, they specialized in the upper Midwest and never went national which was the downfall of many mega full service retail stores.
Meijer's is a great store with tremendous customer loyalty.
Thanks for that info!
The frustration of trucking. Better days ahead. Thanks for sharing .
😆👍😁😁
good luck 👍 wish you all the best
🙏
Really like your videos
So happy to hear it!! 👍😃
I’m surprised I didn’t see any C.R. England Trailers or Swift trailers
🤔🤔🤔
That is so ridiculous. All that wasted fuel driving around and not getting paid for it. Probably need a drone to start and fly it over the yard looking for empty trailers...lol.
👍👍👍😆
It can definitely be frustrating looking for empties sometimes. Next time ask a yard jockey. Usually, not always, they can point you in the right direction. Truck it safe guys 😎
👍👍👍
I don’t blame him i would be a little teed off to
Hello my husband and myself love to watch your you tube site. We do appreciate your videoing the signs. That really helps us know the names of the places you take us. We are in our 70. Looking forward to our travels.
Welcome aboard!!! Good to have you along!!!!!
Good grief, I was frustrated for y'all , looking for the needle in the haystack indeed is madding. Hopefully the following days will be better. Fair winds ,empty highways 🛣, safe travels 🙏 🚛
Enjoy the channel.
One time looked for at least 90 minutes, told then I don't believe there is an empty here they assured me otherwise. Well......come to find out there was no empty Trailer 😖
🤦♀️
Love the longer videos
👍👍😃
Kevin&Co, That was very frustrating for you, would it be too much to ask that all MTs be located in one or two specific areas ok it is a big complex but it should be organised a bit better,take care you two,regards 👍🇬🇧🏴
👍👍👍
All these warehouses use company trailers for storage. Crete and others probably collecting 150 bucks a day per trailer while their drivers go broke.
Meijer is all over the upper-Midwest. It is like Walmart but started that type of shopping experience and supply/distribution logistics well prior to Walmart. Walmart just took off like crazy *everywhere* and Meijer mainly remained in the upper-Midwest. I'm guessing Walmart's supply and distribution logistics were/are more efficient.
I did team when i first started. I drove nights my teammate drove days, i spent 8 hours driving to different locations looking for an empty. 😑
Hey Kevin and Tonya you guys are super cool. Your truck is so clean. Kevin is so patient. My former husband drove for Werner years ago. It's funny here I sit with a Werner shirt on watching you. We looked for an empty for over an hour one time!! We had our two little dogs with us. We hauled a lot of Haz Mat. We could never leave the trailer for any reason until delivered and many safety checks. Not fun. Most would not take these loads. After a few years of that and ten years total my x was done. They hated to lose him. It sure was an experience. Take care..be safe.
Thanks for your comment!!!! And interesting details!!! Bet you have lots of good stories from your adventures!!!! Thanks for riding along with us!! I still prefer my Werner hat. 😉
I spent 4 days and logged 2200 miles looking for an empty trailer. Yes my senior humor ran out before end of day 1. But was easy money!
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Our cats love to poop 💩 in Tidy cats .. they appreciate your service !
😆😆😂🤣😂😆😁Thank you! Glad to be of service! That’s why truckers are essential workers!!
I went through the week wit the TE last week and everything went well. Seeing you driving at night takes me back 😂 we woke up at 2 am everyday to drive.. drove at night most of the time .. I thought it was ok .. I kind of liked not having a bunch of cars around me 😂
👍👍👍
you guys where only about 5 miles from me in this video
👍👋👋👋👋
I was the truck driver for about 50 years I enjoy watching you and your wife but do you get paid for all the time you spend trying to find an empty trailer thank you God bless
Hi again! Glad you enjoy riding with us. Unfortunately Kevin doesn’t get paid for these shenanigans if trying to find an empty. That’s why it’s so frustrating. Wasting his clock and not earning anything. 😔
The last time I had to hunt for a trailer(s) at a distribution center was the old Jamesway at Exit 8A on the NJ turnpike; Looking for a set of Carolina Freight Carrier pups. Around 1992.
👍👍👍😃
My last drop hook took 3 days. 1 day waiting before Walmart would allow drop, then 2 days before they emptied any trailers. I luckily still made re load, but other driver had lost there's and had to sit even longer
That’s terrible!!! Sorry to hear that!!
That's why I quit over the road
Are you still trucking? Or changed career completely?
Should not have had to drive completely around the grounds of MEIJJER TO FIND AN EMPTY! Uncalled for.
We AGREE!!! Total waste of our valuable time.
Just part of Trucking. If that's the worst thing that happens then you have no worries in this business.
😁😁😁
That's why I don't like doing drop and hook I'd rather just have a unload and just keep the trailer
That sometimes takes a while too. ☹️☹️
Been there, done that, the worst thing is when you 'finally' find one either the lights are shorted, or it has a flat and it's not roadworthy, almost makes you want to walk away !!!!!!!!!!!!
👍👍👍
I was right you guys were going to Meijer's. Correct me if I'm wrong I think that Myers account is still under JB Hunt. I used to live around that area and a little town call ovid. Michigan.
👍🥰
Thanks for the video and showing us what truckers and their families go through to deliver everyone's goods. The entire kiosk, self service/check out process has gotten out of control. We are forced to do jobs that we don't get paid for or get a discount for. Thanks for the Meijer Distribution Center tour. That was painful to watch. Perhaps someone at Meijer or CRETE higher up might see this and think about the amount of time wasted and the effort that went into a simple process of looking for an empty trailer? Then again I must be out of my mind thinking a process should be improved upon. Does anyone at CRETE ever inquire as to why it took so long between the delivery and then the pick up of an empty trailer at the same facility? Kevin on his well deserved soap box. It was interesting seeing their slogan over the fuel pumps. "If you're doing it right, you're doing it safely." Well having trucks driving around looking for empty trailers isn't right, so it's not safe either. Overall the Meijer stores we've been to are clean, well stocked and have great selections. Always interesting to see what actually goes on behind the scenes. Hope your next pickup and delivery goes smoother. When you arrive in the dark, but leave when it's getting light is never a good thing. Tanya was hilarious on this one, very entertaining. She was trying to reel in that 2,000 lb great white shark. I'm with Kevin on the no coffee.
😆😆😆👍👍👍👍👍
you have a lot of patience man it would totally piss me off playing the empty trailer game i couldn’t stand it
👍👍👍 Yup! Is too!!!
Maybe if the drivers delivering loads did the same as they do with your empties. Go find it Maijour?????
😆😆😆😆😆
Meijer is pronounced Meyer, if you live in the state of MI they are a favorite retailer with lots of residences. They have some of the more competitive priced groceries and other products.
Thanks!!!
I'm going to take a wild guess on your next load you guys are going to Kalamazoo Michigan. Pick up graphics. Or you guys are going to Battle Creek to pick up Kellogg's. Or maybe you guys are going to Stanwood Michigan to pick up Ice Mountain Water.
😁😁😁
Try pulling 105:5 every load
Kevin doesn’t drink Coffee ☕️? Same here Kevin 😂I used to drink waaaaay too much until I got to the point where I was “ I gotta stop this “ so I gave up coffee .. same thing happened wit smoking 🚬.. gave that up for the same reason .. I also try hard not to drink or eat things wit sugar or salt .. I try my best .. my body will thank me when I hit 40/50/60 … 😂 it went downhill when I turned 30 😂
All very good choices!!!!!!! Yes, your body will thank you!!!
The south east is terrible hard to find empty in South east hope ya doing good im good heading to California
Good luck finding an empty anywhere in California!
😳😳😳
9:40 My pet peeve too and the logistic/trucking inefficiencies. With technology, number the parking spots and yard dog enters into system = bOOm! Dirt lots, driver you are on your own but that could be system indicated 'dirt lot.' Makes no sense time wasted. I live by efficiency lol Safe travels 😊
There are a few places that do this but not enough
👍👍👍
I think with no signature o would note electronically signed along with a confirmation number. Have to do that all the time.
🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for posting and always enjoy the content. Hope you do not mind a few questions and I hope that they are not too repetitious. What size is the bunk, that you guys sleep in or is it upper and lower kind of a setup? No creature comforts, like frig or coffee make? Safe travels and thanks for the come along.
Hey. Not sure if the size. Bottom bunk is a bit wider than the top bunk. We sleep separately as they are too narrow for us to sleep comfortably together in one. We have fridge and a water heater, but we usually get hot water and coffee at the truck stops. 😃
I've delivered there a few times with Knight Transportation
👍👍👍
Yep taunia deserves a coffee .and u both deserve thumbs up for Great video. From united Kingdom 🇬🇧
Thank you!!!☕️
Check the receiving docks
👍👍👍
got to my full load drop and found my "empty" but it wasn't and it was a Sunday Night around 6 PM, the factory didn;t open till 7AM, they didn;t get the trailer unloaded until after 10 AM, and I was suppose to be at my reload at 9 AM 3 hours away. :( Like your channel) :)
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Thts Werner anytime you’re in Dallas
😳😳😳
Don't you try submit like they asked you to instead of wait for 2 hours see what happens are sending you that message unfortunately I drove for crate very short. Of time a lot of things that company doesn't pay you for and if you don't have paperwork do they get away with it that is why I quit
It’s true. There are times you don’t get paid when you work for cpm. Hopefully other things will make up for that. Where do you work now?
In this age of computers, driving around like that, looking for an empty is STUPID!!! I watch a driver for ESTES find a trailer in minutes !
Tracking devices??
Greetings, The Joy of Trucking and Truck drivers everywhere. After seeing this video, I got to say warehouses need to get better organized with the trailers and it would be so easy to do in today's world with technology. I mean how hard would it be to have lots with designated spots for full trailers and designated spots on a lot for just empties and have it mapped out for any trucker who goes to those places. An put a full-size map on the guard shacks for drivers to take a screen shot of if needed. Of course, in-case the map so it's not effected by weather. And if the yard jockeys and the warehouses want to have a little OCD with the trailers organize them by carrier to have it even more efficient. I mean time is money right workers.
YES!!!!! Sounds great!!!!
I don’t understand how companies can use OUR CELL PHONE for there business but yet, we paying for our own bills and service. 😢
Yup…one of Kevin’s pet peeves!!!!
It is frustrating for sure chasing all around and doors are all closed.
👍😞☹️
One time I called a place where I was delivering and the lady told me that the computer was telling her something else from my instructions. I told her that a computer was only as smart as the person sitting behind it. She was not to happy with my comment !
😆😆😆😆😂🤣😂🤣🤣
5:00 is early? That is when all hell breaks loose. The best time to start is at 21:00.
😆😆😆
Jealous hearing you had over 700 miles. Can't wait to get a years experience so I can leave this horrible company. So many love load and unload s. It's a rarity to get preloaded and drop assignments. Constantly waiting hours if not days to get assigned a new load. In need of the good money I rarely take home time. I wouldn't mind being out on the road if I didn't get so few miles a week at 48 cents per mile. Praying my next move will make all this tedium worth it
good old meyers’s grocery warehouse
🥳
Krytes/Crytes rd as I recall
👋👋👋
I del. there not to long ago and it said the same thing Schneider. I also felt the same way you did Kevin about doing their job. I have been out here for 28 years and it tic's me off when I have to do there job. I'm an O/O with Crete I won't go back to another Meijer DC as long as they have that system.
👍👍👍 How do you like being o/o with Crete?
I like it. This was my company truck when I was company driver. I have it paid off now.
@@joeritchie9435 That’s great!! Happy for you! Hope to meet you some day!!
Ain’t no need to be frustrated we know when how it is but sometimes u just gotta stay positive and enjoy it . Be safe Kevin and y’all have a good day
enjoy it be real how do you enjoy that crap 💩 for no pay maybe you don’t value your time enough
That’s the attitude we generally bring. But sometimes the cup runeth over. 😉
lol kevin really does get stucc on things doesnt he😂😂
🤔🤔🤔😆😆😆
I hope I never have to go to that facility lol🙏🏽

coffe .. and o good meal
What kind of headlights do y’all have on the truck, i could see the roads with those lights?
Hmmm…don’t know…good question.
Hi peeps.. MY 20 days (plus a few more) of the CPAP is over with. I'm hoping to fly out to SLC this week and get into a truck. You can claim your cell phone on your taxes if used for business.. just submit the (printed) receipts with your yearly taxes. As far as scanning apps. Try Turbo scanner. It's simple to scan and send to a contact, no ads and it's free. Hunting for trailers.. Ugghh.. It could be worse.. Deep snow, other trucks, ect.. Smile and God bless..
