    As angry at Crete as I have been on several occasions lately, I very rarely sit. My last four weeks have been 2300, 2400, 2500, and this week (ended today because I went home today) I submitted over 2600. I also got a new Asset Manager yesterday, so I'm retaining some optimism. My first AM was just in over her head...she's now in Customer Service.

    One thing about Crete....they haven't hesitated to deadhead me a considerable distance to pick up a load. That has tended to keep me rolling.

    I agree with Packard I have been deadheaded 200 miles to get a load but it kept me moving. The system will automatically in your case would say "you have been out 6 days, the system will get you hone in 6. Reply if you want to stay out longer." I also have never been bothered when home.

    Thanks for the info. I guess I'm going to start Monday. Does Crete make you do a DOT style pretrip during the driving test or just a driving test?

    I didn't do a pretrip. The guy that did my driving test was another driver who was there getting his truck fixed. He got a checklist for what to look for as you drove. We went out got a new truck hooked to a trl went down the street and came back unhooked and they was it. So most likely it will be whoever is standing around. I have been asked to give one once while my truck was in the shop but I declined.:biggrin_25512:

    Ditto. And they can keep those #### ProStars. The new ones they're ordering are only mid-roofs and have zippo storage. No flippin' thank you! I'll keep my Cascadia.

    my prostar has the outside temp and a pressure guage but its on the dash in the trip miles and all that. If its a prostar + then push the black button that cycles through the options on the dash
