    I'm over 3000 2 weeks in a row too. Sweet! Delivering a 300 miler tomorrow, would put me close to 3500, so I think I'll send that one in Saturday morning. Don't want uncle Sam to get greedy

    Dropped with 17 minutes to spare, reload in NY in the morning and head to MN for late Monday
    August 5th is my hire date here and the day I can cash in my vacations.

    I think it's safe to say if you watch Tonns video that there has been a mass exodus of drivers from Crete. Why else would he say publicly miles are down but shippers are telling me they are giving Crete more loads that our competitors because of our great drivers and service . So the grass is not greener... Personally I've got two former Crete drivers trying to get me to get them referral bonuses at smaller companies. They're still in the honeymoon. stage but bothe companies pay weekly minimums and the trucks are decked out.

    Tonn is so out of touch with drivers it is ridiculous, maybe if he went and got his CDL and do just 6 months OTR at cpm, and no special treatment JUST A NUMBER LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, he would actually appreciate and devise ways to pay drivers for all their time like WALMART. As it stands he runs a SWEAT SHOP ON WHEELS corporation.

    Wonder if he'll throw another penny our way? In reality he just needs to staff nights and weekends to prevent delays. The delays probably cost me 100 to 150 miles a week.

    I'm terrible at finding the time to watch the videos, I still have 3 unwatched,
    My next pasture claims more pay, but has me hauling out of a factory near home and coming right back, loaded with a backhaul or empty (if they hire me) I did thank image.jpeg
    For the good loads the last 2 weeks,
