From what you've posted, I think you have a pretty sweet gig with the current employer. IIrc he's given you pretty much everything you want and I think your biggest complaint is that your truck is "old" but he has even offered to upgrade that as well.
You've got your mind set on going back to Crete even after they treated you wrong and made you leave, so good luck. I guess we have completely different mindsetsand goals in this industry. I want the flexibilty and opportunity that owning my own truck bring, even with all the extra effort that goes into it.. You seem to be happy with running a dedicated gig for a large company. There's nothing wrong with that as long as you find success in it.
2 years and you'll have it made...

Now Crete. That same big shot I talked to. Problem was with the shops. He told me that I have his number now. Any problem. Call him up. And I should have had a new truck in the first place. We go to too many rural areas with no help. No place to even pull over. No shoulder ...nothing.Muskie Thanks this. -
For you newbies....
There are companies who take everything within comprehension. They know it's crazy out there. All kinds of stuff being pulled. Things getting written up that really aren't anything. Administrators trying to make more of something than it is. They know!
One I had experience with was Barr Nunn. They had no problem hiring me. I passed for reasons.
Crete does this. They know what's going on. They're conservative. Always trying to be constructive. Trying to make things work.
One thing to definitely keep in mind. If it ain't working. Get out. Don't let it get to the point that they fire you. Neither of the above companies would hire, if you were fired from a driving job.
Number of jobs you've had ain't nothing compared to being fired from a job... as far as they're concerned. -

Otherwise I like Crete. Will always like Crete. You may very well like it there. -
BTW…am now at a small company. Been here 10 months. Happy here.
Still get all kinds of offers. I’m happy where I’m at. -
I’m still very much with this small company out of Denver. They just gave me a raise. This is personal. Not a company wide thing. They love the job I’m doing for them. I really like it here. In two months. I’ll have 4 years driving class A.
Speed_Drums Thanks this.
