    Coming back to trucking after a nice year vacation.

    Done with 1099 shady companies. Looking at mega carriers this time.

    Trying to decide between Crete western regional or marten transport dry van western regional or their reefer western regional home weekly.

    Any and all information regarding these two companies would be appreciated.

    I'm not that familiar with Crete, been around a long time, but the premier carrier has always been Marten. If Marten had an opening, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. Marten.

    My experience with Marten wasn't on the regional you are talking about going to, but it was still an okay experience, I guess. I didn't like how when I would have go to get trailers from another place if it was in the same city I would not get paid anything for the mileage. Other than that it was okay. The regional I did was basically just in Texas running the Restaurant Depot dedicated stuff, and I had one Sprouts Market load I did every week down to Corpus Christi. Other than that, I was home every Friday in the afternoon like clockwork for a reset and go back out on Sunday. This was back in 2018, though. I am not sure how it is now.
