Actually #1002. Sally is number 1 and always will be.

And we are much more then numbers with CR. They know each one of us and treat us accordingly. Different drivers have different needs. And they totally understand that and they work with each driver as an individual with their own personal needs. For example, I like going home every other weekend. They try their absolute best to accommodate that request. Or home more if I'm within a few hours of home late in the week. They ask, your close to home, do you want some home time or stay out? Small carriers have some definite advantages. Plus the bonus is I'm making more money then I ever did with my old carrier.

And THAT, my friend, is why I'm betting we probably won't have to spend a dollar on recruiting advertising. We plan to stay small. With multiple small fleets, each with their own dispatcher that will have the ability to make decisions as they please on margin to get a truck moving. Just like we do. 15%, 20%, 5%, 0% margin. Yes, on occasion, 0%. Whatever it takes based on the need right then. Rates are rough right now. We all know that.

Everyone be safe and make the best of what you're doing and who you're doing it for.

One or two more and you'll have your own carrier subforum before you know it.

Good luck with your new company Ken. Sometimes change is hard and stressful, but I'm sure you can handle it.

Congrats Ken and best of luck! In my opinion, you have partnered with one of the great team:)

Actively following the EO forum over the last few years, we watched how CRE grew from a single van into the fleet operation. Sally and Murray have accomplished the goal in such a short time. Totally fantastic!

CRE certainly is the rising star and it appears that many drivers want to be partnered with.

I met a nice fella recently at PJ in Fort Worth, we chat and shared ramen noodles. He said he's getting tired of teaming in a cargo van.

Said he's tired of his teammate refused to take the showers, does not like to stop for the restroom breaks and always passing gas. He's getting his equipment ready and plans to join up as soon as CRE open up the air cargo division. I thought I'd share his pic, lol.

Great Job Team CRE!

Thanks Dave.....John and Load 1 is a great organization....:) But my needs have changed and Load 1 just can not give me what I wanted.......control over my business....big carriers can get overwhelming with protocols....I wanted to have control on my rate in a ratio to my CPM...

If you're counting that low, perhaps a celery stick or carrot might be better! What's up doc? O)
