Crete Carrier, Shaffer Trucking, and Hunt Transportation operate with seven guiding principles that define how the company functions and how drivers experience their work. These principles are applied daily to create a culture of professionalism, trust, and engagement.
Safety: First and Foremost
Safety, first and foremost, is the foundation of all operations. Drivers have access to well-maintained equipment, structured training programs, and clear safety protocols. These measures allow drivers to work confidently while keeping themselves and the communities they serve protected.
Say What We Mean and Mean What We Say
Say what we mean and mean what we say reflects the commitment to clear communication. Drivers and employees are given precise guidance about routes, schedules, and expectations. Management ensures that all commitments are honored, which reduces misunderstandings and builds trust throughout the organization.
Be Ethical: We Always Do What Is Right
From workload management to recognition programs, ethical practices maintain fairness and transparency. This principle reinforces trust between drivers, management, and customers.
Lead: Pursue the Road Less Traveled
Pursuing the road less traveled emphasizes guiding by example. Experienced drivers mentor new employees, and management encourages problem-solving and initiative. This approach fosters accountability, professional growth, and a culture of excellence.
Be the Best Trucking Company in the Country
This principle drives the focus on high standards. Training, equipment, and processes are continuously improved to maintain operational excellence. Performance is measured not only by safety and reliability but also by driver satisfaction and customer trust.
Respect: Give It and Earn It
Giving and earning respect highlights the importance of valuing others. Employees are expected to treat each other professionally, and contributions are recognized consistently. This principle strengthens relationships and morale while ensuring drivers feel supported and respected.
Have Fun: Work Hard and Play Hard
This principle demonstrates that enjoying work is part of the culture. Achievements are celebrated, team events are hosted, and recognition programs encourage a positive and balanced workplace. This principle helps maintain engagement, motivation, and a sense of community.
