    I don't understand the infatuation with going west. If I never went west I'd be happier. Always windy in Wyoming, heavy loads in the mountains suck, 55mph is in California. Just leave me in the midwest.

    I miss Crete, but not Janelle, OMG. I remember a Crete O/O with an absolutely beautiful red & white COE. Wonder if he is still out there. Last time I saw him he said he had over $1M in his 401k. Wish I was that frugal.

    When I was with Poly, I ran the NW so much, I got sick of running out there and actually started picking loads to avoid it. Pretty scenery out there, but gets boring after a while.

    Hello everyone, I miss you!!!!

    I read some comments so I’ll reply. Im still with Crete. I like them.
    I’m now in a different time in my life. I don’t need to be begging for 3,000 miles a week. For instance, this Friday I didn’t move until 11am Eastern time. Why? I was day trading. Profit of 795.00 by 11am. I do this often. I am getting smarter with the charts and have been studying. No big losses. IF I see them coming I’m out of that trade fast. Admitting I made a bad move. Two weeks ago I nailed it for 8.5K in 3 hrs! Played Nvdia and Apple. In/out and I said thank you, fueled the truck and laughed all the way to the receiver. And that’s not a one hit wonder. Last week was 7K profit.
    I’m doing well, just left Utah. My favorite state, I had to do some site seeing plus I stole some cool red rocks from the scenic area. lol
    I’ll show you all pics soon. I still don’t go home. I would say 2/3 days every 2 months. I make my vacation out here! But don’t be fooled, everything comes with a sacrifice.
    I just enjoy the road, the piece n quiet plus it helps me focus on the markets. The OTR aspect I could do blindfolded.
    I literally make more money trading in 1 week than a do in 4 weeks at Crete. They are a great company tho. Not perfect but they sure like me. So I like them. I bang out that 30,000 mile bonus for .02 extra cents every 3 months but that’s just for kicks. It’s more of a game to me. I would say I average 25/29+ hundred miles every week. I don’t need or want more.
    Side note: my Loves points, I’m up to 750.00 in pts.... Loves is great!!! My home away from home but I don’t have a home. IF you consider my storage unit or my parents a home than I do. My mom asked me if Loves is only for trucks? I said “mom, Loves has Love for everyone”! She laughed, hahaha.
    I’m coming up to a serious level in my bank account and I should have that in 5/6 months. When I do, I will have a sit down with my parents (very smart people) and decide on what to do. I just can’t see myself going local so I’ll probably stay out here. I enjoy it.
    The internet thing.... I use Verizon and would only use Verizon. Sure you pay a tad more but I never ever lose service. I have a MIFI box provided by Verizon so that’s my hot spot.

    I hope everyone is doing well out here and staying safe. Heading to LA in the morning then Oregon.

    I’m really not a big recruiter but if your not making 52 CPM after 4 months of experience with a clean record then your getting ripped off. I’ll always tell you the good, bad and ugly about Crete if interested.

    Again, Be Safe and ask away...

    Ps... as most of you know I say it like it is with no sugar coating. The guys out here saying there making 2000.00 a week are a joke and I just chuckle away. Why lie?

    Also owner ops are dying out here. The rates are getting cut. Please Please throw out those “trucks for sale” magazines and get that thought out of your head. I could buy a brand new truck with cash and I wouldn’t dare!
    And if your thinking of leasing remove that thought too.

    I love you all, goodnight‼️

    So what if they are? Not like we don't have a large community of troll responders.
