Ok, here goes, need some input here have driven for small local companys in nc for all of my carrier, 30 plus years, now am faced with having to do something else most small companys here are gone we hauled new furniture, now with the china imports most of us are stuck with unemplyment 8.5 % in this county alone , have been approved at several places crete and shaffer, seem to stick out with more proffesional attitude than the other guys, most of which wont even reply to the apps guess they would rather go with the school boys, so anyone with some input good or bad would be appreciated here

have you put in your app yet with crete yet to see if your approved?

I was the last 3 or 4... this week a bit down...2207. And stuck in Ft. Wayne just before another ice storm. The only thing offered is a load that P/U Friday evening, delivering outside Jackson, MS for Tuesday morning. And I am suppose to start vacation this weekend in FL. Which doesn't bother me when I start vacation as long as I get all my allowed time off. If they get me home Wednesday, then leaving out the following Wednesday (new years eve) is unlikely, so knowing how slow freight is out of FL. I wouldn't leave until after the holiday.... Which I wouldn't be against since I have been out since mid-October.

And I promote Bailey to the head of the 'complain like snackbar' class.... He has taken the reigns of my runaway B####-mobile.

Even with the slowdown here...I still make better money than I could anywhere else. By what I have heard from other drivers around the industry...everyone is down on miles. Why get 1500-2000 mi a week somewhere else making under .47/mi? Schneider isn't getting miles, Swift stopped hiring experienced, JB is selling drivers newer and newer trucks, US is forcing drivers to team, buy a truck or go home... There isn't much grass (green or otherwise) on the other side of the fence to compare to anywhere right now... The best thing is bite the bullet and hold on. It's only going to get worse before it gets better... May as well be with a company that isn't in debt up to their eyeballs, that can survive.

My cousin drives for DeBoer, and his miles are in the 2200-2600 mpw range as well. He's making .35 mp with almost 20yrs exp..

I talked to him on Sunday, and he told me that while he was fueling in Dandridge,TN he struck up a conversation with a Swift drive who had been sitting at that truck stop since Wednesday due to no freight. Five days, now that's bad! Made the 2 1/2 days I spent in East TN waiting to get another load the week before seem not so bad.

Weazz, yep am approved for crete or shaffer no orentation till at least 1-13 09 which is ok for me just trying to get a few positive answeres and do my home work on these places,,, meryy christmas to you and yours ,,,,,stickhauler

Happy? eeeeuhhhh... not quite that far, but much less unhappy than I was. (every time I have told someone I was happy, Karma kicks in and goes out if it's way to knock me back down...so I don't say I'm happy no matter the prosperity) They did find me a load to FL though....at 10am Friday I was beeped with a load that p/u 90 miles from here 1st thing in the morning drops anytime 80 miles from home... HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN...THE SKY ABOVE IS NOT CLEAR AGAIN. The worst part of it is I have to go 1/2 way across IN on US30 after an ice storm, empty. Good thing I found my pry bar...looks like I'll need it once I get there to get the seat out of my butt.
