Crete carrier corporation started off as a family-owned company in 1966. It was incorporated in Crete, Nebraska. The pilot project began with 6 leased trailers. Since establishment, the company progressed on a consistent basis. Today, the firm has become one of the largest privately held trucking companies in the US.
Crete Carrier operates about 5000 tractors and 13,000 trailers. The firm is fully committed to productivity and safety. So, it hires only qualified drivers and appoints them for specialized roles only. Drivers get many amenities apart from business opportunities. The firm’s operations are supported by associate companies like Shaffer Trucking and Hunt Transportation. With 1,100 tractors and 2,800 refrigerated trailers, Shaffer Transportation safely transports thermally sensitive goods.
In 1973, the firm headquarters shifted to Lincoln, Nebraska. In the next year, Crete Corporation acquired Shaffer Trucking, which is a temperature-sensitive carrier based in Pennsylvania. In 1979, Crete Corporation purchased Sunflower Carriers. In the very same year, a single refrigerated division was established.
In 1987, a new member called Hilt Truck Lines joined the family. Thus, the Dry Van Division was expanded. In 1999, Crete Carrier Corporation entered into an acquisition with Hunt Transportation. Thus, Crete became the owner of a newly established Flatbed and specialized freight division. Oversized equipment or construction material are hauled by Flatbed haul drivers of Hunt Transportation.
