Crete Carrier Corp Paycheck Withheld Lincoln, Nebraska
I am a truck driver left my previous employer and joined this company after a recruiter talked me into it. After a couple of months of driving without any problem strange things start to happen. First while at the company terminal I was called to the safety department and told I was observed hooking up to a trailer without come out of the truck to check weather it is the right hight. The trouble is I not only did that but just greased the coupling standing next to it.
Next I was accused of driving more than 5 miles an hour in the terminal. They told me that two days after the alleged incident to have occured. After that I avoided going to the terminal completely for months. Then I was asked to deliver to New York City which I did and was not paid the extra which the company pays for delivering there. I enquired about it and was told some addresses in the city are easy to get to and will not be paid extra.
Then I found out that they pay the extra for going to the same address. Pay check from this company is always delayed by one week. At the beginning I did not mind but when at last when I decided to quit I came to realize why they are doing it. They cut my pay for every supply I took from the company for months including logbooks, Tripsheets, even company manual and a handred dollars for removing my refrigrator which they said they threw in a dumpster, serius radio subscription fees which I did not subscribe to but came with every truck.
They also threw my cloths on dirty floor in a sparepart storage warehouse. When my lawyer threatned to sue them unless they release my pay check the guy openly said if I sue them, they will make sure I will never drive again. I am aware of a driver making up story like his wife getting cancer to quit without them putting a negative comment on his DAC report. Save yourself don't ever work for this company.

It is sad when a driver cannot speak his mind without an office employee, recruiter, or suck up trying to discount what he is saying. Ihave received injustice from Crete myself so I believe what that driver has to say. It would have been best for you to keep your mouth shut because now you have another driver who has suffered injustice speaking out, myself.

You do not know, for certain if what this driver is saying is true or not and should not immediately discount what he is saying. I am a Crete driver and have to more carefully watch my pay because I am noticing time aftertimbre how they keep leaving things out of my pay. This would include equipment I was supposed to be reimbursed for, trips scanned in with confirmation from transform, tolls, scales, etc. for which payroll conveniently says it was an honest mistake. I have had difficulty dealing with my terminal concerning breakdown pay for which I have to go round and round with them on in order to get paid for. The only reason I could tink that you would discount what thesis other driver is saying is because you actually work in the office and are a recruiter. It is very immature of you to attack his report and try to discount what he or she says because of spelling and syntax errors. If Crete seesthese reports, perhaps they will getherein ducks in a row and stop the annoying payroll issues and otherthings they do to annoy and frustrate the drivers. If you are a driver, and are having a great time driving for Crete, it does not mean other drivers are not having a hardship with Crete. Did you happen to think that the driver who left the complaint does not have the same assetmanager as you? These reports are to warn others considering working for specific companies.
no nonsense
Unbelievable

I am a formed driver for Crete and the company and the people there in Lincoln and all other terminals were nothing but professional to me. It's irritating to me to see others make up such nonsense as the so called driver did in the above complaint.
I never had to pay for log books or any other related company paperwork. I believe the company has gone to mostly computerized paperless logging anyway. And I do not believe for one second that your paychecks are always a week behind. Crete was always debt free. I don't think they even cut paper checks for their drivers. It's electronically deposited in your personal account or on your fuel card.
I think anyone with 3 brain cells that reads your story above will see it's just a story. You may even be jealous because you have tried to get hired by Crete and couldn't. Truck drivers are to be professional and your story above is filled with grade school spelling errors and that sure isn't professional.
I hope who ever reads your story gives it zero credence. It deserves it.
