I'm not putting up with that crap for .70 cents per mile or 1300$ a week, and telling me when I can go home.
I'd rather buy my own truck (not lease purchase) as an O/OP and gross 6-11K a week and self dispatch.
Trucking is supposed to be about freedom, and fun, not slavery.
Any solo company OTR drivers for Crete Carrier? Considering making the move to them.

If your record is clean and your previous employers from the past 10 years cooperate, it doesn't take Crete long to process your app. The last time I came back, it took them all of 2 hours to go from application to scheduling orientation.(Since I was a rehire, it was an easy employment check), and this time I don't think it took them that long.Lonesome and hope not dumb twucker Thank this.

Give Wal-Mart a try. You'll make $130K - $150K+ a year.

HELL NO. I don't know why so many people think Walmart is the ####....if Walmart was the last trucking job on earth, I would panhandle at the end of a interstate ramp with a crutch and a cardboard sign before I would work for The Great Satan Corporation.
