Where Crete Carrier Corporation runs
Crete Carrier Corporation is strongest in Nebraska, Texas and Pennsylvania. If you want to be domiciled in one of those, this is a carrier worth a call; if you do not, check that they have a terminal near you before applying.
Their freight leans toward dry van, reefer, flatbed, dedicated, which is what shapes the day-to-day: the equipment you are on, whether you touch the freight, and how predictable the schedule is.
