| Nice. Slac, they bust you for FIVE cents a mile now when you run the western fleet? That's quite a hunk. Who is the manager at the SLC terminal these days? It was a lady named Janice when I worked there. When I hired on with CCC, I got a rental car to take from SLC all the way to Lincoln. And I was ALONE, both in the car and in the hotel room. I had to drop the car off at the airport, and I met my trainer at the KC terminal after orientation. I think orientation lasted 4 1/2 days.

| Oh yeah...that's that lady's name I forgot that lady's name, and you just reminded me. When I ran the western fleet, I did a LOT of runs from SLC to El Paso. The cool thing was it was all drop and hook. Also, my pay cut was only 3 cents per mile, but I started at 32.

| They can run you pretty much anywhere CCC can run you pretty much anywhere you want to run. Some drivers who live in the corners may have trouble getting home regularly, but people who live in places like Washington State, Maine, and Florida probably don't get hired often anyway.

I live in Ohio right now; but, I intend on moving out to Denver as soon as I get my CDL & Job. I read you were telling people about Crete, how it was a good place to check out. Is this the best one to check out after I move to Colorado? Thanks! |

| Re: I guess I need to make a move soon I would say CCC is one of the best out Denver way, sure. I bet there are other little companies in the Denver area that would be worth working for. When you get to Denver, get a copy of the Denver Post for a week or two and see who's advertising in it daily. Those are the outfits you don't wanna work for. After you get this info, move to the phone book and start calling companies that don't advertise. Visit those who are willing to hire you and see what their lots look like. Also, ask a bunch of their drivers what those companies are like. Choose the one that looks and sounds best. Good luck.

| Re: Shaffer trucking? Quote:
Shaffer is part of Crete, however they do things a little different than Crete Logs and Payroll are Processed by Crete 1.5 days off for every 6 days out forced dispatch but most times if the freight is fluid enough you can get up to 3 choices of loads to run on the quallcomm. you will get Miles, i never had any problem getting miles the equipment is in fairly good shape, Century Freightliner Condos Orientation is either at New Kingstown,PA or York,NE more often tha not it is at New Kingstown which is 3 miles east of the flying J on carlisle pike off I-81 I am no longer there, but I have to say if you are a good driver,hard worker, and not a whiner, you will do good there
