Ok we have been working for Shaffer trucking for 4 years it's a division of Crete Carrier Corp. Although I don't like Crete I do like Shaffer the Refer division. Shaffer makes sure to get me home for hometime when I need it and when emergencies arise.
there is some division between Crete, Shaffer, and Hunt. Crete really doesn't care if their red trucks get home or not. I say that cause a friend of mines son had surgery and Crete refused to let her hubby come home. He went home anyway it was less than 2 hours and almost lost his job over it. They didn't care that her son was seriously ill.
Shaffer on the other hand tries to get the family home for important dates and surgeries. I am a trucker but currently off the road as I had to have surgery earlier this year. shaffer has always got my husband home in time for my surgery. I have even had Shaffer dispatch call to check on me while I was sick home late at night and to let me know they were working on getting my husband home to me.
My husband has yet to miss one of my surgeries. I am not sure when I might make it back out to trucking but it will probably not be until next year. That's not that far away though.
I do go on some runs with him and when the guys and gals see me at the terminals everyone is so friendly I feel like a super star. Of course we do our jobs and don't give dispatch much grief.
I use to get in trouble for doing the smiles on the computers to dispatch now everyone misses it so when I am on the truck I make them. That's my way of letting them know I am alright.
When I had surgery Shaffer switched hubby to regional from OTR with no hassle and no rehiring like some companies want to do so you would loose benefits. Thanks for keeping our benefits Shaffer.
Shaffer use to allow dogs now Crete has a no dog policy apparently & we are trying to get that worked out.
Hunt basically does it's own thing it's the flat bed division and mainly OO from what I have seen.
Sorry for all the color changes that's the company colors and how I keep my info separated.
