Lincoln, NE (November 28, 2012) - Crete Carrier Corporation, along with its Shaffer Trucking and Hunt Transportation operations are proud to announce the launch of a new military recruitment website We Hire Veterans | Jobs For Military Veterans | Hiring Military Vets. The launch of the new website, which offers quick and easy access to information on Crete Carrier and its Military Transition Program, is part of Crete's ongoing efforts to recruit more veterans and their spouses to the Crete Carrier family of companies.

"Crete Carrier values veterans and they will always be an integral part of our success," said Tonn Ostergard, President and CEO of Crete Carrier Corporation. "Nearly 30 percent of our employees have a military background, and we would like that to continue to grow. We welcome all military men, women, and their spouses to be a part of our family."

The new site is a great place to learn more about Crete Carrier, view nationwide career opportunities, and make a point of contact.

The website boasts a modern, responsive design that is viewable on all computers and devices with internet access. The site features Crete's military program highlights, military decorations, and why Crete has differentiated itself from others in the industry. Along with the new Patriot Fleet program, the site will also include military career fair announcements and career opportunity information. Other new functions include a video and photo gallery.

Great exploitation of an already horrendous situation under the guise of "Old Glory" and "Red, White and Blue".

Think about this...

Our vets are coming home to a different world than they left. Jobs they had, and were guaranteed to come home to, at best will have reduced hours and at worst will be non-existent.

Military pay wasn't much but it helped pay a few of the bills, now they won't even have that.

I'm betting our warriors have had enough of the being away from home and are looking forward to some quality home time and reacquainting with the spouse, kids, family pets and the last thing they are going to look at is another career that takes them away from all that for extended periods of time.

Good marketing ploy by Andy though. Real feather in his cap coming from a last rate company with known habits that are NOT employee friendly.

Now if he truly wanted to help the vets maybe he could set em up with all the LTL positions then pay them double the going rate. That would probably overrule the negative aspects and might even change the general opinion.
