    Another one telling you to stay with swift. 3 months exp isnt much and many more doors will open as you gain more exp. And swift will likely start running you better.
    Besides CR England is dog poo company. I suggest dropping a bowling ball on you foot, instead, better outcome

    You’d be far better off spending 4 nights a week in the comfort of your truck as opposed to commuting 2 hours a day 5 days a week. Wal
    Mart is pretty good about scheduling start times. They might give you a 14 hour break or so one night during your tour, you could easily run home. I’d steer clear of daycab accounts unless they’re 30 minutes or less from home.

    No guarantees with CRE as to job description. I can hear your dispatcher's voice......Dude, I'm in a bind, can you do me a favor and take this run over to Phoenix ? I'll get you back here with a load. 2 weeks later. you're still "out there" , far from home

    that's another possibility here's another that position has been filled unfortunately your options are to be only over the road maybe whenever it opens up we will move you over. I don't know CRE but from what every driver has told me they do all kinds bad things and wouldn't put past a company to deceive a person just to get them in the door and leave them with only two options go OTR or another job. Companies have done what I described to other drivers, they expect x and get y instead and they can take y or leave and find another job again I have never worked for them but if even half the stuff is true I wouldn't work there. i would work as a general laborer in the oilfield before then and I have a bad back.

    How often do you comute to SWIFT.

    Is this a daily thing for day cab work.

    I would not drive to Jurupa from central valley daily, thats nuts.

    There is a lot of driving work in the Bakersfield area.

    You can goto work in Porterville for Walmart direct, think you need 2 years experience
