I can't give a good answer on that . One may have good dedicated runs in your area . I've heard more bad than good about just about all of them but that doesn't mean much . Unhappy drivers are always more vocal than happy ones .

So, you have to look into all factors when determining pay and the actual mileage you may get.. what it comes down to is that you run less miles but make the same amount.. I myself find it hard to sit around at a truck stop when running less miles and not find myself spending money. So, for me i made more money by taking less pay and running more miles to keep me from sitting around and spending money...
sounds like a great rule to have . i would respect a company greatly for a safety minded program!!!!

If you are approved w/ Crete, they pay better to newbie drivers than others. You will start at $.34/mile after your training period, and $.39 at 12 mos.
