Would like to ask you people...
Have talked to a recruiter. Crete offering a Wallyworld dedicated out of North Platte Nebraska. They say they can give me a 34, once a week at home. Home is Rapid City SD. Pay is $1250 a week. Say can do better if I don't hold them to the once a week 34 at home. Talking $77 to $80k yr. ???
We really aren't the trucking opportunity capital of the country. If you get what I mean. Not alot of opportunities period. Opportunities to get home alot either.
I do have some PSP points. Taken in context, it isn't bad. I was in bad situations with companies. Recruiter indicated shouldn't be a problem.
I do have a Regional job now. Hauling concrete powder in pneumatic trailer. Working for an O/O with 3 trucks. I like it. Home about every day. But during winter. Loads drop off. Just skimp making it by. Old truck with working on it often. So down time on that too. But I do really like it. ... Then during summer will run like crazy. ... Thought I'd add... O/O is willing to loan me money till summer if winter is too bad financially. So not looking at disaster.
I do admit. I need to spend more time out of the truck. That's health wise. Money doesn't matter that much.
Home time doesn't matter that much to me. I used to run three months out. Then one week home time. But admit. I'm really liking this high amount of home time. Being home everyday.Last edited: Oct 27, 2019
dwells40 Thanks this. -
Are they still doing the mandatory Sleep Apnea testing and after you fail it they sell you one of their cpap machines?

Bumper Thanks this.

They sold me the CPAP for $1,100 then I found the same machine online for $600.
Such a complete scam. The only way out is to pony up $4,500 to pay for a sleep study of your own. -
Has your boss looked at plow or snow disposal work for the winter months? Even if it isn't a lot of work, it would be a bit extra for everyone if some of your company equipment can do the job.WesternPlains Thanks this. -
Bumper and WesternPlains Thank this.

Farmerbob1 and WesternPlains Thank this.

I went ahead and applied. Called me today. Wanting to know when I would be available for orientation. Going ahead with background check. So far Crete seems very understanding and uses comprehension. She said of course after you arrange with time for present employer. Take care of things.
I was extremely hesitant. I'm feeling better about this all the time. Thank you all for posting.
I am wondering. Looky looed at Crete site. Same job out of Cheyenne to Denver.
Advertising higher pay? Is it just updated? Mine not?
Also they are advertising those guys being home every day. Can understand how they can do it. They sure want drivers into Denver, out of Cheyenne.Farmerbob1 Thanks this.
