@@sergiomedrano7832 👍😃
Tanya girl, you crack me up. 😂😂 Ok, you both crack me up!
👍😆😆😂🤣😂👍🥰
I team drove with my husband for 5 years...just saw those Roehl trailers there.
😃🥰
22:44 I LOL'd 🤣🤣 at this part with the camouflaged truck. Kevin says "A trailer gliding across the landscape"
😆😆😆👍
Just a tip from a former driver trainer. Don’t get complacent on that left mirror or looking back when backing. The truck had 6 mirrors use all of them when backing. If you weren’ in the passenger seat it looked like he would have hit that trailer.
Kevin does use his mirrors a lot. I might have just beaten him to the punch. Lol! But, yes…it’s a good thing to point out. Thank you!
Then again there is always the old GOAL, get out and look!
I dont miss the gateway dropyard. Think ive hit that "knock the poop outta ya" pothole before. Lol.
👍👍👍😁
6:54 that was a funny sight 8:04 here we go 8:27 Funny horn!
👍😆
@@TheJoyofTrucking man, I've missed you, Tanja! I'm glad you are back!
Good luck on the road and God bless you all the time sir.
Thanks, you too!
Enjoyed the added sound effects from Tanya, on my 34 and see I've got some catching up to do. Enjoy your channel
👍😁😁😁
Yup Freight Shaker!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Love the way y’all laugh and have such a Great time together lol And Kevin is trying his best to hold it together.
👍😃😃😃🤩
So, that's where all the Shafer trailers are I couldn't find other night in Colorado.
Lol!!! 🤫🤫🤫🤫
You guys are so good together!!
Thanks! 😆😆😆💕
Thanks for cheering your work and videos.
Have a safety trip.
You all make great videos! Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much!!!
Another great video. Stay safe.
Glad you enjoyed it!
At least you do not come to
my area. I almost eat dust daily and nightly. Working in the mining industry driving a Cat 793 haul truck.
Wow! That’s big machinery!
Best move you have ever made...been with Werner 15 years....wished I had the guts 14 years ago to switch..but....life goes on
..keep up the great work
Thanks Bonnie!!!! That means a lot! But no regrets! You must have one of the special trucks by now? And they are treating you well. And much better terminals, that’s for sure 😉
Hey Kevin, thanks for all the info you've provided on crete. It is because of your videos that I applied. I'll be finishing orientation in TN here tomorrow or Friday and then I'm heading out. I used your referral code, so you should get some thanks coming your way soon. Hope to see you out on the road!
Awwwww…Thank you Christian!!! We REALLY appreciate that!!!! We hope you have a really good experience with Crete! It’s still trucking, so things aren’t perfect, but we are very happy with our decision and Kevin us making much better miles and money than he did with Werner. With less stress! Which company are you coming from? We are glad our videos helped you! We hope to meet you so we can say Thank You in person!! Best of Luck! Let us know how it goes. Drive safe! Have fun!
@@TheJoyofTrucking oh yes I am well aware of the usual "joys" of trucking lol. But regardless of that I think I'll have a good time here. I'm actually coming over from running local for the last almost 10 years. Only ever had 1 other OTR job. I worked for ABF Freight for almost 8 years. But now it's back on the road!
We're all rooting for you!
@@christianmiles7165 Awesome!!! You’ll definitely get to see the country. And you can ask to go to certain places too. We love it!!! Paid to travel. :-))) Hope our paths will cross!!
Beautiful new trailer....love it ...only way to fly ...Crete has nice stuff
And they take good care of their trailers!!!
Darn it Roehl lol. My last day with them is Friday. See CRETE MONDAY FOR ORIENTATION 😊😊😊
👍👍👍😃😃😃😃😃Welcome, welcome!!!
I hear you about the dust I have allergies to dust
Yes! Me (Tanja) too! No fun!
Werner IO tractors were white back in the day. Most all equipments was their standard blue.Nebrasks term8nal was a sea of blue trucks.
Hey guys enjoyed the video be safe God bless 😁
Thank you!!! You too! Glad you enjoy our videos.
Preverbal cliffhanger videographer 😂
Lol!!
Lol, .... not so smiley girl! 😂
😁😁😁
Nice video👌
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Omg I’ve been to that yard! Lol that lot attendant is definitely strict. 30 dang minutes smh
👍😆😆😆
Love the callout 🤣🤣🤣...now get the truck washed and you'll be golden !!!
👍😃😃😃
The A/C ducts area is called IdleAir and it was really popular until they started putting APUs on the trucks.
I see your was on interstates 55 going s routes 203. That a nice truck stop. That good day let your drop the trailer. Pick up another one 👍👍
👍😃😃😃
I asked my wife if she would go otr with me. when I retire she might😮
Great vid! Ty
That would be great!!! Retire from trucking? Then how would that work? 😁
@@TheJoyofTrucking currently drive local and she’s not with me, when I retire, I want to go OTR with my wife. That’s the plan anyways
throwing us around lol
Did you feel the couch move??
@@TheJoyofTrucking yea
I knew I recognized where I am…I am spending the night at the Pilot next to the Drop yard you guys used when you had to drop off your loaded trailer. Now I feel like our paths have recently crossed twice, here and in CT at the secret TA 😀
Lol!!!! Watch out for those potholes!!! 😃😃👍🤩
When I drove for Crete Carrier I did the same thing with that Schaefer driver was doing I was pulling brand new trailers out of Wabash at Lafayette Indiana. I was taking them to the Indianapolis yard. You guys be safe out there
Cool!! You looked good on the road...with every load!!! You be safe out there too!! Thanks for coming along with us!
Thank you
Be safe
Thanks!! You too!!
There is a waffle house in Lebanon MO where next to that is a open lot and everytime we drive by are full of tractor trailers and how they get out is beyond me. Very tight quarters
15 miles of joy 🤣🤣🤣
😁😁😁🎉🎊🥳
My truck don't have cat brakes, but it has piggy oink shifter
😁😆🤣😂🤣😆
Hey Tonya, could you please show the drivers mirror when he backs up... that is where the action is, not the fender mirror ... thank you. I enjoyed watching the video today!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Sitting in Kevin’s lap to get that shot is frowned upon by the DOT 😉 I’ll see what I can do.
The volume is over the top!!!😊
😳🤔🤔🤔
Name Crete came from the country of Greece.
Yes. But the company is named after Crete, Nebraska. 😃😁😉
👍
👍😃
Like your videos! New subscriber. Do have SiriusXM available to activate in the trucks?
Hello! Thanks for subscribing!! And welcome to our community!! As far as we know Crete trucks do not come with Sirius radio. What is needed to ‘activate’? We had a social Sirius device we bought to have Sirius on the RV.
@@TheJoyofTrucking Thanks for your response. The SiriusXM logo would appear directly on the radio faceplate itself (usually upper right corner) Also, by changing the mode selection button (FM/AM)
@@hosersmurf6950 Yeah…so then that’s a ‘no’. 😃
Tanya, you can see the penguin on the back of the Shaffer trailer as he's backing up.
Oh man!!! I didn’t notice. I’ll have to watch the video again. Thx!!!
That’s a Puffin. Shaffer drivers get insulted if you call it a penguin - don’t know why.
@@TheJoyofTrucking that’s a Puffin - the Shaffer mascot. Don’t call it a penguin they get mad.
@@ramblingbill9101 when I was there they called it a penguin 🐧.
@@ramblingbill9101 That makes sense!!! Looks like a puffin!! 😃
What's Crete's policy on truck washing? How often, where are washes according accomplished? That Gateway trailer facility needs some serious TLC.
Every 45 days is ok for truck wash.
@@ramblingbill9101 thank you. Wow, last time I remember one of the Maverick drivers saying they get called out if their trucks go past two weeks. But it appears most, if not all, of their facilities have their own truck washes. And when the drivers park their trucks there for reset, they come back and majority of the time their trucks are washed for them.
Yes it does!!! Once every 45 days. Not enough!
We’ve never come back to a cleaned truck. Even when Werner replaced the fender and spiffed up our KW they didn’t wash the tractor. Shiny new fender and dusty rest of the truck. Kevin would wash the KW on his own time at the wash bays. But Crete doesn’t have any (?). At least not where we’ve been. 😉😣🤔
Wa bash is how it's pronounced
💪💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
🤗
Was that a fart or the truck beggin for a wash 🤣🤣🤣
Lol!!! Maybe a burp?
How come you don't never let wife Drive she seems to do a lot of driving for you LOL
No thanks. I’m not interested in driving the big rig. I’ll stick to RUclips and communication. 😉
I'm considering going to truck driving school with RoadMaster Drivers School at Omaha, NE. They say they offer 3 companies to be recruited with: Werner and two others. They tell me that if I sign with Werner they will pay for my tuition as long as I continue to drive for them. I've also red that entry level drivers with Werner only clear about $40,000. per year. Can you tell me a little more about what questions I should ask and anything else I should ask about? I am starting new at age 65. I hope that isn't aa red flag for me. Thanks in advance, Gerry Voie, Omaha, NE
Hey there!! Be sure to check out our playlists and early videos. You’ll find a lot of info to start you off. Kevin paid $4000 to Phoenix Truck Driving Institute so he wasn’t beholden to anyone and paid no interest. He received $225 monthly reimbursement from Werner. (Though it was taxed as income which we don’t think is right). Roadmaster is more expensive and you’ll probably learn more. So you need to decide what works best for you. We’ve heard of drivers who leave before they’ve‘put in the required time’ and offset the money owed with a sign on bonus. But we don’t know the small print. Be sure you do! Kevin started at 59. We don’t think 65 is a red flag for anyone if that’s what you meant. Kevin likes the less strenuous work and we know a lot of drivers who are ‘wiser’ and enjoying this career.
Kevin made about 55,000 his year with Werner. Tough to tell you what to ask. It’s hard comparing companies because of all the different ways they pay. Despite the issues we are very satisfied with Werner as a place to start! Good luck! Let us know what you decide!
A bit less from the Nav would be good.
any runs in or out of laredo texas?
Not sure….we went there with Werner. I’d think so. Maybe more experienced drivers could chime in…?
Crete does loads out of Laredo. They have a few customers down there - can’t remember which ones though.
@@ramblingbill9101 Thank you!!! Good to know!!
You didn't even show the new trailer 😫😩🥺😢😢😢😢
Lol…oops. Next video…
Too dusty in lot for her to get out.
More times turn truck off and then on burning more gas Kevin not like car or pickup truck tip dr retzer
It's Greek name
