Crete Carrier Corp.

We pay Practical Miles instead of standard Short Route Miles! Which means you make more $$$

At Crete, we're known for providing some of the top wage and benefits in the industry. In fact, we were one of the first trucking companies to pay Practical Route miles instead of standard Short Route miles. Which means, on most trips, our drivers make more money. Often, significantly more.

Here are some benefits of being a Shaffer Trucking Driver:

Shaffer Trucking, Crete's temperature-sensitive division, began doing business in 1937 as an irregular route truckload carrier of general commodities. Shaffer was acquired in 1974, and today is one of the largest, premier temperature-sensitive truckload carriers in the United States with 1,400 tractors and 2,800 trailers. Sunflower Carriers, another temperature-sensitive fleet was merged into Shaffer in 2003.

Shaffer Trucking Pay

Shaffer Trucking offers one of the most comprehensive pay packages in the truckload industry for its qualified drivers. National drivers with one or two years verifiable OTR experience start at $.42 per mile. Drivers with three or less jobs and five years of driving experience in the last five years start at $.45 per mile. In addition, drivers are eligible for a one cent per mile annual pay increase up to $.48 per mile.

Regional and Dedicated Fleets may operate on a slightly different starting mileage rate of pay. Training and Student programs are available for drivers with less than one year of experience. Dedicated and Team Fleet opportunities are also available.

All drivers are paid weekly by direct deposit to their bank account or their cash card and have weekly cash advances for road expenses.

Shaffer Trucking Home Time
We believe it is important to get you home frequently. In the national fleet, you can expect to be away from home for one and a half to two and a half weeks, depending on where you live. You will earn one day off for every six days of driving. Non-vacation home time will generally be limited to a maximum of four consecutive days unless, as a result of your high level of productivity, your fleet manager approves additional time.

Regional and dedicated fleet drivers who live in the region or where the dedicated fleet operates are generally home or through their home more often than national drivers.
