    Crete is like most large outfits. Where you live makes all the difference. Down here in Florida I was required to stay out a minimum of 21 days and paid 39 cpm and I came in with 2 yrs experience. Some of their drivers out West are required to stay out 42 days. You are fortunate to be in a prime spot.

    4-6 weeks. I find that hard to believe especially if you're in WV I know for sure they have a home weekend intermodel fleet there.

    Driver that is making 35 cents a mile im sorry for you... Im getting ready to hit 3years driving and im at .39... I run 3,000+ like every week unless i come out from home or getting ready to go home then its even 2500+... I think you need a new job for 20+ years driving and only making .35.....

    Crete shouldn't have dropped their southern regional division .

    i would have hooked up with them way back .

    They shot themselves in the foot as far as I'm concerned

    Got a buddy in Lapeer, Mi up above Detroit. He called a few times and never could get Crete off 28 days out. He was leaning towards coming if he could have got Crete to 21 days out. Like I said, where you live greatly effects which opportunities are offered. My experience has been very little flexibility.
