It's funny, I wonder if it's better to make Crete your first or second company. Work someplace for 4 months, do 4 weeks training with Crete for 600 a week, then make 9 CPM more than if you had come on as a student. I came here a few months ago, my buddy has been here since we graduated CDL school together. He's making 34, I'm making 42, lol.
What's better US Xpress or Werner Enterprises ?

Here's the real question... what if you start with Crete but quit after 4 months, then a week later get hired back at Crete with 4 months experience... then hey look you got a pay raise of 9 CPM by quitting and coming back lmao! -
Werner ~vs~ USX? I kinda was wondering the same thing... There are both terminals within miles of a 'home base' for some and their lots would be perfect for the truck to park in while they are doing 'home time'.... I did hear that USX is trying to hire more women too and are as fair as can be expected with them as well...... Anyone have positives on those reports?

If I had to choose between US Express and Werner, I think I might choose suicide. I agree that Crete is an ok company, especially for a new driver. I was at Crete for 18 years. They are better than most megas.

US Xpress has an ad in my area (Dayton, OH) for a dedicated, home-daily job, which sounds really good to me. It's the Meijer DC in Tipp City, OH delivering to their stores within a couple hundred miles. Of course, I have no idea of the pay, but I am assuming that this would be a purely solo job given the distances involved. Does this sound reasonable? Anyone have any firsthand knowledge?
Here's the ad if anyone is interested:

It wouldn't be a horrible job. If you need experience. I started out at usx, 4 months in I'm going to jb hunt. I probably would have choose Crete but they want me to do 6 weeks of training. Not going to do training again, I need my space. Anyway that dedicated route you'll probably like more than otr. I talked to people who enjoyed the dedicated routes. Good luck!
