At Crete Carrier and Shaffer Trucking our miles are up significantly. We need safe, experienced drivers to meet our customers' needs. Drivers are paid based on practical miles, meaning they earn 3–5 % more total miles per year than companies that pay based on short route miles. Practical miles now roll in faster with a governed truck speed of 68mph on the cruise and 65mph on the pedal.

The most productive 50percent of our OTR drivers average more than $101,176 annually, equating to over $1,945 weekly. Starting pay ranges from $0.65 to $0.68 per mile.

In addition to competitive pay, we offer comprehensive health insurance, matching 401k, and a profit-sharing plan that contributed $11.5million in 2025 and more than $103million to employee retirement accounts since 2018.

Crete Carrier has grown to one of the nation’s largest privately owned trucking companies. Along with sister company Shaffer Trucking and wholly-owned subsidiary Hunt Transportation, Crete Carrier Corporation operates as a truckload and flatbed carrier for virtually any commodity. Our drivers exceed CSA score standards required by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Because of these benefits, drivers typically stay with us three times longer than the competition. Some area restrictions apply.
