    44 cents practical (= 46 cents regular), but i think you have to stay out 6 wks for that, otherwise 42 cents practical...ur first year they tend to give you your best miles, then starting 2nd year its about 10k/mo.

    If we don't go west in the summer, we don't go west in the winter. You can pick up my tcalled load and chain up

    Federal221, you either live in the west or this is your first year driving with Crete, right? You won't be getting so many miles after your one year anniversary.

    no ive been driving over 5 years and about 6 months with crete
    the only thing about crete I dont like is I was late for my home time 3 weeks
    guess thats why people back east not head out west with them
    for the most part I have been pretty happy
     
    csmith1281 Thanks this.

    My first 2 full weeks were just over and just under 3200 miles each. Other than the ###### sleep study, I'm loving this after dealing with USX. Seemed like I worked my butt off to get less miles. I've noticed that the difference between paid miles and what my Rand Mcnally shows for trip miles are REALLY close, often less than 10 miles different on decent length runs even. I'm used to HHG miles, lol. I think USX beat my check I got today and the one I'll get next week one time, and that was for the one good mileage week I had Teaming plus a student loan reimbursement.

    I got one run this week that was going to have me waiting a while for it and running at night. I asked for a different load, explaining why, and I got a better one pretty quick. I have to admit that weekend dispatch is less than helpful at times, despite that, they've given me good runs so far.

    I just heard another Crete driver at the pump today bragging about the miles he got out west. I may have to consider trying to get out there. I've been out there more than a few times already, but is that something you need to ask to do around here..?

    Unless u live out west you don't really get out there
    I've been lucky I've got 4 trips out there but I'm out 4-6 weeks
    So far they have been very fair
