Gotcha. Yep, New Kingstown is actually only 20 minutes from my house, went to the highschool up the Carlisle Pike - twenty some years ago Hopefully being close to the terminal and in the NE will get me home easier.

Don't worry about the money and the loads right away. Remember you are a new guy. Learn everything there is to learn from your trainer and be extra careful when you go on your own. I have seen my share of newbies trying to please dispatch by running hard only to get into an accident and end their employment with Crete. Take it easy and treat this as a paid education
ghostdog, hal380, Wild Murphy and 3 others Thank this. -
harlycharly55 and hal380 Thank this.

You won't hit the west coast/mountain west much
Maybe 2-3 times a year if that
I live in indiana and see a lot of mid west/east coast
I've been out to the mountain west and west coast

I think you made a wise choice because local jobs aren't as glamourous as what some may think.You're home go to bed get up and do it all over again.Absolutely so social life.I did solo otr for 9 yrs and then went local because my dad needed help caring for mom.The first local company only good thing I have to say about it is I met a guy there and 2 yrs later we're still together.Another local job was in my opinion far worse then my first one.Was getting otr pay and working 14 hrs aday except for Monday that's safety videos paperwork and such..That lasted a whole 2 weeks.Now I start a tanker company Monday and I will work 14 hrs a day and get paidly $16.00 an hr and time and a half after 40 hrs.Ive been pretty much unemployed for months but loven it.But I also have bills.My boyfriend done mind paying my bills and prefer I not work but I don't like to depend on him.Yes I won't be able to spend quality time with him but im actually looken forward to driving again.Good luck with Crete,I know you'll be a great success with them.

Cretes a good company for the most part
hal380 Thanks this. -
I just finished truck driving school and was thinking about going to Crete myself, but their website states that drivers have to have a minimum of 4 months of experience. So which is right I guess I could just apply and see for myself.
hal380 Thanks this. -
Depends on where you live and which school you went to. Just Call and ask.
