Balkan Truckin'

“Weigh Station Closed” by Dr. Elliot Lach is a country-folk ballad about the forgotten roadside landmarks of America’s highways. With warm male vocals, acoustic guitar, and fiddle, the song captures the mystery, humor, and nostalgia of those neon-lit signs that always seem to read ‘Closed.’ A highway song for anyone who’s ever wondered what really happens behind those weigh station doors.

Three younger members of the Crete Carrier family joined Crete President Tim Aschoff for a panel discussion on Sirius XM with Mark Willis. Recruiter Tara Duncan, Account Manager Jessica Svoboda, and Kansas City Asst. Fleet Manager Emmett Gutz discussed their roles in the company, how they got into trucking, and how they help drivers succeed. 

Driving Success

"Real men" is a high-octane, aggressive country-rock anthem built on a foundation of pure outlaw attitude and raw swagger. The track kicks off with an explosive, overdriven twang guitar riff, complemented by wailing steel guitar slides and a pounding drum shuffle, instantly setting a tone of a wild, no-holds-barred night. The lyrics are an unapologetic, tough-as-nails tribute to rebellious masculinity, celebrating hard drinking, "raising hell," and living by your own rules, all delivered with a powerful, gravel-throated vocal performance. The clean mix ensures that the heavy instrumentation shines, allowing the driving bassline and the signature steel guitar solo—complete with distorted bends—to take center stage. This track is a perfect fusion of hard rock intensity and the storytelling grit of classic country, making it the ultimate soundtrack for hitting the highway, or for anyone who enjoys their music loud, rough, and uncompromising.

See you on The Road

Don’t be alarmed if the road feels a few minutes longer every time you drive it.

That's because it is.

As the road lengthens, new side streets may appear. Do not take these, however alluring. Gas stations may pop up to fill in stretches of empty desert. Be wary of purchasing snack brands from them you have never heard of or that do not exist. Cacti will show up every few miles that weren't there on your last drive. These are just cacti. 

No need to fear the cacti.

If your drive on Route 333 takes more than thirty minutes than the last time, report such fluctuations immediately. Multiple former employees, who failed to report such anomalies, are still stuck there.

Still driving.

Music is my therapy, its my release from past military trauma. Its never been about fame or fortune for me, just sharing some spark of hope in the world.  Been playing guitar and bass since I was a kid.  Gradually transitioned to learning keyboard and drums as well.  Started writing my own songs when I was 15.  I’ve written well over 1000 songs in my lifetime . I'm a fully functioning studio and work with various musicians worldwide. I enjoy working with all genres.  Im registered with ASCAP and hope and pray daily someone will buy my songs. Check out my website at rorydavidmusic.com. Soundcloud claims you can sell vinyls on here, I'm trying to sell 2.  I have ISRC numbers for every song yet they are making life a living hell, so I'll probably find a different site soon.

For more than 50 years, Crete has operated as a truckload carrier for countless products. Crete drivers are among the best, exceeding standards required by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Furthermore, the National Transportation Institute recognized Crete Carrier, Shaffer Trucking, and Hunt Transportation as Top Pay Certified Carriers. In order to be honored with this classification, a carrier must qualify in three critical categories: top tier pay, benefits, and carrier stability, criteria that ensure professional driving is a rewarding and secure career choice. Aside from being Top Pay Certified, Crete offers a Gold Standard benefits package that includes health, life, dental, vision, 401(k), and a profit sharing program—which contributed $10 million in 2015—ensures that when the company does well, so do drivers.

In 2012, Crete Carrier founded the Patriot Fleet, a specialized fleet of trucks that aim to honor those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The Patriot Fleet originally debuted with five trucks, but Crete continues to honor America’s heroes with a total of 15 trucks. The drivers collectively represent over 133 years of experience in the armed forces, more than 100 years with Crete Carrier, and over 21 million total miles driven with Crete.

Crete Carrier exercises mutual respect with drivers by providing updated equipment—an average age of two years—and dedicated dispatchers. Crete also demonstrates driver appreciation through driver referral bonuses, monthly and annual driving awards, and an entire month of recognition with giveaways and free weekly meals. Crete is a family company that strives to build meaningful relationships with drivers.

Crete Carrier continues to prove itself as a credible employer. Crete remains a debt-free company, meaning paychecks will always be good, and drivers stay with Crete three times longer than the competition. The company offers drivers National, Regional, and Home Weekly options. As always, at Crete Carrier, there are no shortcuts.
