Thanks for watching! If you are interested in driving for Crete Carrier, you can call Cassidy at 402-479-2709. Please give them our referral code SLOKEV. We appreciate it! And we appreciate you!!!
@@TheJoyofTrucking My car, I’m smoking in it, My house I’m smoking in it, My truck I’m smoking in it. I’m not inconveniencing myself. If someone smokes and doesn’t like the smell they shouldn’t smoke. Hate to see what they are doing 30 years ago when u could smoke everywhere.
Congratulations!!!! Welcome to Crete!!! Hope you have a wonderful career here! Crete, Shaffer, or Hunt? Sorry to hear there aren’t any trucks in Wilmer. Hope they find you a good one nearby. Kevin did orientation in Lenoir City and got his truck in Deland. Who were you driving for before? If you haven’t used someone else already and our videos have been/are helpful to you with switching to Crete, please be so kind and give them our referral code, SLOKEV. We would much appreciate it!!! Let us know if you have any questions!!! Hope to see you on the road!
Kevin handles the situation like a pro. Should have never had first truck in the first place. They are at least Square with you after your complaint. Have a good weekend and stay safe.
Crete does a pretty good job working with drivers to accommodate as much as possible. They're certainly not perfect. I get frustrated at times, even angry, but I've been with them for 10 years now. Looks like you were at the one terminal I've never been to in all my time with Crete.
Lol…Deland?…come on down!!! Good to hear you’ve been happy with them for 10 years!!!! That’s a good sign!!!! Hope we get to meet you!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Congrats, glad you got everything worked out, there's a lot of smokers out there, they will just pass the other Truck on to one of them, no issues. stay safe
@@TheJoyofTrucking I used to work for Warner, watched 3 people go out to check out a truck all came back in 30 seconds and said no. I accepted it cause it was a kenworth. It works, just don't drink the coffee.
I agree, I would flat out rejected that truck with cigarettes smell. You got to drive and live in the truck most of the time. That you're rights. It was very nice of Crete for working with you and even provided you a hotel stay along with reimbursement for the first night. I'm impressed. It could have went the other way around, but it didn't. Glad that both of you are happy with the truck!
Well now, it's about time, they shouldn't send anyone out in a smoked truck that is not fair, they should ask if you were a smoker, which you are NOT, you should have a smoke free unit, SAFE travels to you and Tonya, keep track of your length of haul, hope they stay around 500 to 1000 miles, now this is from your HOME TERMINAL, you will find this a lot of fun to see how far away you get..... HAVE FUN...🙂💕💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏👏👏✌🤞👍🙂
Yes. They did at Werner for trainers. But definitely should be considered for truck assignment! Good to be back!! Thanks for continuing to travel with us David!!!
When this truck gets to over 400,000 miles or so they will give you a brand new truck most likely. They usually do pretty good about smoking and non smoking trucks but something slipped through the cracks.
No experience driver should never have to go through these things,when a driver is hired by a company things like this should be taken care of from the start
Yes. It was a bit of a disappointing welcome. But we’re glad we didn’t let it discourage us. We are glad to be with Crete. 😃 Hopefully that was a ‘one-off.’
Honestly…that would not have fixed this smell. It would have layered other smells on top. They had it professionally cleaned…and still…the only solution was a different truck.
Glad u have a good attitude, sometimes unfortunately they do that to their new drivers! But crete usually will do their best, my truck broke down in Cleveland and they got me a rental and had me drive to PA to get another truck so i can keep rolling! Its discouraging to drivers and make the company look bad in their eyes! Theirs always good and bad with each company.
Liver is high in cholesterol, I like it too! My cholesterol is perfect at least the last 8 years or more. My wife likes it but she won't cook it and I don't cook.
funny not only is my name kevin as well, I also work for crete. crete leaves me alone and gives me miles. i run off recaps and average 450 miles a day. so I don't do resets. if you like a drama free no bs company that gets it done, you'll like it. as soon as the truck purchase program reopens, I'd suggest buying thru them. have a good one. 👍
I got my "new" truck with Werner and nobody took any effort whatsoever, to clean it in the slightest. It absolutely reeked of smoke and there were Black and Mild wrappers literally everywhere. The previous dirtbag spilled coke all over the floor and let it dry. So there was hardened sugar and ash on every inch of the floor. People are gross and honestly Werner should have paid someone to detail it. The smoke smell still takes a negative toll on your health, you smell it, because it's still there. It makes all of your clothes and bedding smell of it. It's just gross.
😮😮😮😮😮🥺🥺Hope you aren’t in that truck anymore!!! Terrible!!!! They ask smoking/non-smoking for matching you with leaders. The same should apply to any truck assignment. Hope new drivers become aware through our videos and now know to ask and set a boundary.
I've been in this game for quite a while..1992 got my cdl...I've learned with these megas they make it hard for drivers to stay with them you're just a number to them..they don't want to give that raise they say they'll give..or the 401 when the time comes..isn't there any local smaller companies close to where you live?..just saying you have enough experience now
Thank you! We don’t really ‘live’ anywhere right now. We are happy to give Crete a try. Hear lots of good reviews from satisfied drivers. Let’s see how it goes. 😃
He He... on danish facebook there is 2 pages .... one who hates liver and one who loves... remember as a kid... going home from soccer training or anything else at 5-6 pm... if there someone fryining liver for open window I went to the other sidewalk.. Had it 2 times in my adultness...Elderly lady made it to a club I`m member off for a sunday meal... She had made to much.. froze it and came back 14 days later with the leftovers.... second time it was the best .. dont know what the frezzer did to it..... Sadly she past away last week...In memorie of Mary
Cheers to the memory of Marie!!!! Thanks for sharing your story. That’s hilarious about the two Facebook groups! We need an English version! Lol! And thanks for watching us from Denmark! We have very close friends there and have enjoyed visiting your country a couple times!!! 🇩🇰
A tiny refrigerator is stock in any mass produced truck these. You would almost have to custom spec a truck to NOT get one. Or to upgrade to a larger one.
Another 2019. 😆😁🤪 I think once a month they spring for a wash. As far as we know you can get straps from terminals (and sometimes find them in empties 😉). Thanks for watching!!
@@donaldromano7390 Awwww!!! Thank you so much!!! We love it when experienced drivers watch out channel!! I’m sure you get a good kick out of some of our shenanigans! 🤪 Good to have you along!!!!
If you are not a smoker as I am not a smoker, driving a vehicle previously used by a smoker STINKS. I don't care how much it is cleaned. The burnt tobacco smell is there to stay.
That is Delaine Florida for Creek carriers & Shaffer trucking Yard Be careful what you say on RUclips and be careful what you do because they will stick it to you
Depends on the account and maybe experience. Kevin started at 62cpm for 21 day out OTR48. You can call recruiting to see what accounts they have. Number is in the description. 😃
Don't forget to let the people know just because you got a RUclips channel they're doing everything correct for you but read between the lines they mthey may treat the other person like crap crap I know what I'm talking about
Hmmmm. Don’t think we get any special treatment or they might have given us a better truck to start. And made sure we both get proper Crete hats. Not just one Shaffer hat. Lol!!! Either way…we are always honest and ethical with our viewers. But…in the end everyone will have their own experiences. There are no guarantees.
You're getting the free app free advertisement for them for hiring drivers that is why they're treating you the way they treat you but when they get drivers to come in yoursuccumb man you sir are getting a bad reputation for false information
It’s funny how you think they’ve somehow treated us well or special when our first videos showed some of the challenges we faced. Yes. We do get a referral bonus if someone gives them our code. But there’s nothing wrong with that. We aren’t manipulating viewers or focusing on recruiting or lying. We are having a good experience and making 50% more money than with Werner. So we’ll keep sharing our journey and showing what it’s like on the road and sharing what we learn, helping others drivers, especially rookies. We are honest and ethical. We ‘featured’ Werner for a year. Never made one extra dollar or get special treatment or referral bonus the year we were there. We did it because we like helping and entertaining others. Seems you did not have a good experience with Crete. Sorry to hear it. We, on the other hand, are having a great experience. And we’ll share that with our viewers. Along with whatever happens that might not be so great.

👍🎉🎊🤩
To not want to have to”live” in a truck with cigarette smoke smell, is not being picky.
You are right about that. I happen to be a smoker, but for someone who does not smoke, yuck to live with the smell.
Thank you!!
Yes…we know lots of people who won’t smoke in their car, truck, house because they don’t want the smell in there themselves. Lol!

Congratulations Kevin and Tanja. I hope everything continues to go well for you. As always Truck Safe. Glad to have you back on the truck Tanja. ,😁
Thank you, Greg! Happy to be back!
My mom made liver often. I love it and used to make it myself, but it's hard to find in the grocery stores now.
Nice!!! The frozen liver is often kept in weird places. Fresh…yes…hard to come by. 😃
Glad you got a new rig because that new truck smoke never goes away.
👍🤩🎉
Finishing up day 3 of orientation tomorrow in Wilmer Tx. Class of 7. Not enough trucks here so we all gotta go to different places to get our trucks.

To get rid of cigarette or any smell, put a small opened coffee jar in ur truck for a few days, it gets rid of a smells.
Thanks for the tip. It would not have helped with this smell. And I would likely have used it up for making coffee too quickly. Lol!!

Why not go to your nearest Autozone or O’Reilys & buy some interior detailing stuff.Turtle wax interior cleaner it’ll make your truck smell like new.

No APU. Not sure about what you’re asking with the other things. Sorry.

With this economy you might want to be careful about rejecting trucks, just sayin. They'll find other drivers who aren't picky.
Trucking is a hard job , you need to work in very good conditions , if the company offers you a decent truck you have to watch It.
Health comes first. Can’t work with a headache or a wife with a headache. If the company would hold that against us we wouldn’t want to work for them.
