    Bro..... they own Cascadias.... Maybe our definitions of “clean” are different. Doubtful though considering we are from same State and both off I4.

    So you see them rolling around dirty? Everytime I see one you can be blinded by the shine off of it.

    Anyone have any experience with Marten, Crete, or Decker? Have gotten offers from all 3, but I don't know anyone who works for them.

    What's wrong with Cascadias? They're nice trucks. Lessors has attractive equipment. I know it ain't the long nose Pete's that every body thinks is the God of all trucks. Lol nonetheless, their trucks do look good though

    Negative. I thought you were using the term as in... describing how decked/tricked out their trucks are. They do have clean equipment. One thing neat about that family of Gray paint tones is it never really looks dirty. My tundra is a very similar tone. It hasn’t been washed on the outside in 3 years (it’s never seen a car wash basically) You’d never be able to tell. Still shines like new. All it needs is a little rain every once in ah while.

    Marten transport and Crete are both good carriers... You'll make good money running with either one of them

    So far the best offer I've gotten is from the Shaffer side of Crete, .50 CPM+ .03 CPM safety bonus paid quartely. All told that would be about 50% more than Im making now. Recruiter claims their refer guys average 2600 miles a week at that rate. Can anyone confirm if this is accurate?
