    so to return to the topic of grandma and the lease...

    they still pay out 90cpm -

    what is the PAID surcharge per mile at CRE now?

    how is their freight running these days? most of us have slowed down the past 1.5 years...

    I am wondering if the recruiters sleep well at night setting new drivers up for a tough time
    Notice I said tough time - and was not dissing any current CRE leasee's...

    I think we can all be adult enough to agree that the economy and fuel cost have made most trucking a "tough time".

    Especially with the way the fleece companies like CRE treat their drivers.


    I would not be able to be a recruiter. I cannot lie and BS good enough.

    I've decided to do an about-face and head back to truck driving this week. I just have to get my license back. I'll also do exactly what I said I'd never do and get a job at C.R. England. I plan on signing the lease agreement as soon as next week.

    APRIL #### FOOL

    Gotcha.

    Bravo!!!! A fellow intellectual! I do craft my posts in such a manner as to be provocative and to get others to "think." I spend alot of time reflecting on myslef and my past and try to root out all forms of prejudices and biases. Lets say I am; a "work in progress."

    Making judgements are what we ALL do in 1 respect or another. Stereotypes and pigeonholing people (or groups of people) seem to be the "norm" for todays society.

    If you think about it racism was the norm 1 to 2 generations ago. Now political correctness is the new watchword. You have to be careful what to say, who to say it to, and in what company.

    Oh and by the way I am fully cognozant of what "projection" is my friend. You get a gold star!

    Well of course that was meant for me. I mean I was "banned for life" after all. That is until I contacted the site owner and was able to prove who I was and then I was 're-instated.'

    Of course "everything" is about me (for my freudian friends LMAO)!

    Hmmm. You were able to prove who you are. I've often wondered what would happen if a username is used by more than one poster? How is the proof established? I wonder this for a good reason. Well, I guess I should say "WE" wonder this....
