@motocross25 correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t Paul put a truck on in Florida and run him all over this great country? I know @supersnackbar needs insurance offered quickly so maybe that’s a deal breaker, but an old hand like him would do well in the dump world in my opinion.

If he offered, I wouldn't accept. Driving a dump bucket doesn't interest me in the least.

Creaffer has always been advertising high pay for the past few years, a lot higher than other megas. I’ve been wondering if it was snake oil like it usually is or not. A dedicated fleet pops up when i select my state, and 6 figures sounds really nice on paper. The problem is that said dedicated fleet runs out of the North Platte WM DC…300 miles away from me. I’m not sure why Walmart built a huge DC in basically the middle of BFE. The driver pool can’t be that large

don’t you have to live within a certain distance of the DC though? I have seen Crete trucks delivering at my local Walmart before so i know they go there

Their "up to" pay is like everyone elses. When they say 6 figures, it includes their profit sharing and 401k match. Which "technically" is pay, but it isn't pay I can use to pay bills right now. When I left I was making $0.73/mi (which included a .02 surge bonus, that went away after the covid freight surge died down). They restarted me at $0.66, which is a penny less than what I was making at SPD after my 2nd anniversary.(Which included $0.10 perdiem). I think the dry side still makes $0.02 less than reefer.

Ok...I'll spill...I have been pullin a puffin trailer for 6 days...and I can unequivocally say, some things are better, but most of this company is SOSDD. I am pre-planned before every delivery...but about half of my preplans are for loads that are already late, and I sat most of the weekend under a load that I had to get a bit testy with dispatch over because they were waiting for an email from a customer the doesn't come in Friday night and Saturday night...I finally dropped that load in Indy and then went into IL for my next preloaded trailer. They gave me an almost new truck (only 100k), but I hate it because it's got more of the nanny crap than the ones I was driving 3 years ago. Plus, their new Peoplenet units in the truck are tablets directly tied in with the CoPilot nav system installed. So when you start driving, it sometimes displays the old Peoplenet ELD screen, and sometimes it has a different hours screen that pops up (it's like the transmission, it can't make up its mind either). On top of that, now all your fuel stops are tied into your Geofencing system, so it pops up like a pickup or delivery stop...and the messaging system is kinda odd. The old days you had it set up like a normal email account, now you only have 2, incoming messages and sent...I have yet to see the suggested routing like we use to get, where you could see if you were dispatched on a toll road or not. I honestly can't see myself lasting here very long. I came back because I wanted some company stability after all the switcheroos and sellouts over at Daseke/WTF-I, but I don't think this was a good idea coming back.

I'm too old for flatbed. It's been a little over a week since I woke up and had to stretch to get my back to quit hurting enough to get out of bed.
