    CRETE sucks only when u hit over 48cpm,Its like they think they got u or something,i speak from over 6 years exp with them,lots of under 2k weeks,and walmart pop up fleet comes to play,and forget about west,west is only for drivers who live there,so they can go home(west coast drivers go home after 45 days or something like that)Above is the way i like to run when i have the chance

    I drove for Shaffer for about 6 months. I was in the shop every weekend for the first 6 weeks. Then they put me into a brand new Freightliner. It was only after I pretty had it out with termianl manager. My wife was with me in their terminal outside of Dallas. They wanted me to recover truck in AR and wanted me to ride with another driver. There was no way wife could go with me and they wouldn't put her in a hotel (which I understand) but I live in Ohio and like the OP I was living on advances because I was broke down and had that sleep apenia machine, and had no money for hotel for her. What pissed me off was that they had 8 brand new Freightliners going to students at that terminal. Well 7 were one was just waiting to be assigned so after a lot of dicussion I got it. Make a long story short I messed up on how to manage my time in the worst winter on record. The one 3 years ago. But dispatcher had a lot to do with it. I can go i to details if you all want. Went out with a trainer for 2 weeks again. While on the road they cleaned out my truck to reassign it. Not realizing I was coming back to it. Though I was assured no one would touch it. Needless to say my cowboy boots ended up in the car of a mechanic and only after talking to Lincoln did I get them back. I left there and went to USA truck. That was how desperate I was to get out. I believe op.
