    I'm in TN
    Been looking around forever now to seem whom offers the most (Van or Reefer) for the 6 month to 1 year experience range.

    The best I could come up with is Crete .43 CPM
    Mega carrier, no debt

    Or South East Carriers at .37 plus .2 safety bonus and company paid health insurance (drivers pays $15 per week)
    Plus they don't run the NE which is nice because the NE sucks

    Which is better, which would you choose?
    Any other companies that offer a lot out there? As in no .32 CPM BS or Werner etc etc

    You will get more miles at southeast. I drove for crete for 5 yrs and you get treated like you done matter.

    Been with Crete for 1 1/2 years now... 2 trips into upstate NY and 1 into Philly since I've been here. Never had to go into NYC or anywhere in New England. The majority of the freight I run goes between the Midwest and the southeast. And I do a LOT better than .37 cpm. Just saying.

    I was with Shaffer and stuck in the Northeast all the time. Left there because I couldn't get out of there. I'd go with South East Carriers. But that is just me. BTW Warner is spelled Werner and they are better than what you think.
