Crete/Shaffer/Hunt
Gone in 2 months

I talked to the recruiter at Crete mid Oct. Of 2007. I had 3 issues to resolve before I applied to them. I had asked the recruiter about hazmat endorsement and that I wasn't going to renew it due to our genuis gov't imposing there "National Security Background Check" on drivers. Which costs $. He stated that Crete reimburst drivers $100 to get it. I said O.K. That would work. Next issue I had was that I didn't run the Northeast. He said it shouldn't be a problem. The company had about 150 or so drivers in that area so I wouldn't have to go there. I went there twice. My final issue was that I told him I didn't pull reefers. I can't sleep around them. He said it wasn't a problem, they have more than enough drivers that I shouldn't have to pull one.
In Dec. Of 2007 dispatch assigned a reefer load to me. I refused the load and didn't pull it per prehire agreement with the recruiter. I got back home for xmas and tcalled the load. I talked to my terminal manager about the agreement. He told me either pull reefers or clear my truck out. I told him that he just terminated me. He stated no he didn't. As I was clearing the truck dispatch called me and said that the load wasn't tcalled and now was going to be late for delivery. I haven't checked but I'm almost positive that Crete will D.A.C. Me for load abandonment. I suppose it doesn't matter too much. I'm not driving anymore. Crete burned me out.
