Crete Carrier Corporation 400 NW 56th Street Lincoln, NE 68528 888-978-3571 http://cretecarrierjobs.com/ This is my Crete story. When I was seven years old, my father put me in a tractor trailer and just about my whole life he taught me everything I know about driving a truck, so... The reason I got into trucking and this sounds cliche but it's the truth is it's in my blood! That's all there is to it. My dad was a truck driver and his little girl is a truck driver, my uncle drove and my cousin and it's just something that's been in our family as long as I can remember. I said, you know he taught me a heck of a skill. I could put it to use and make some good money. Two years ago I just really wanted to find a company that I could settle into and really just what I really was looking forward to was just focusing on my retirement. I started making phone calls and then a friend said, you know call Crete and Shaffer. I work over here at Crete and they're a great company to work for. So I called, talked to the Shaffer recruiter I came over here. I remember the first day of orientation. Mr. Ron saying something that just kind of stuck with in my head, and he told us that if we... whether we decided to stay with Crete or if we decided this wasn't the company for us and we wanted to go into a different company... he just really encouraged us to find a home some place. The first day I started here I was very happy. I got myself a good truck. I'm happy to say that two years later, I feel like that's exactly what I found. I feel like I found a home at Crete. If I had to recommend it to anybody, yes I would definitely recommend it. I'm very happy here. I'm very happy with my terminal. I'm very happy with my asset manager. She knows me by my first name. She knows what I like, she knows where I like to go. I'm not just a truck number to them. And just all the staff at Crete, you know, you guys are great to work with and I really enjoy it. Been here a year and a half and I can't wait until I put 20 on the side of that sleeper.
