At Crete Carrier and Shaffer Trucking, our miles are up significantly. We need more safe, experienced drivers to meet the needs of our customers. Drivers are paid based on practical miles, meaning you are paid for 3-5 percent more total miles per year than companies that pay based on short route miles. Practical miles roll in faster now that we’ve recently raised our governed truck speed to 68 MPH on the cruise and 65 MPH on the pedal.

The most productive 50% of our OTR drivers average more than $101,176 annually (~$1,945 per week; $.64 to $.67 CPM). The top 50% of our Hunt Transportation drivers average $93,347 annually (~$1,795 per week), with starting pay ranging from $.65 to $.68 per mile.

We offer comprehensive and affordable health insurance, a 401(k) match, and a profit‑sharing plan that contributed $11.5million in 2025 and more than $103million to employee retirement accounts since 2018.

Leading Pay Plus includes the industry‑leading pay that Crete Carrier Corporation is known for plus extras that add more to a driver’s bottom line, improve quality of life, and help a driver succeed.

Over the past 50 years, 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, we operate as a truckload and flatbed carrier for virtually any commodity. Our drivers exceed the CSA score standards required by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Because of our leading pay, benefits, and profit‑sharing, drivers typically stay with us three times longer than the competition.
