Well, chasing my 70 was an unmitigated disaster. My income over a month was pitiful compared to when I pushed harder, and I had no full days off for 34's, so it was the worst of both worlds.
I've advised my asset manager that I am going to run hard again, because I lost about 1500 dollars compared to what i should have made over a bit more than a month since my last time home.
My first couple months with Shaffer / Crete

Great thread. Thanks so much for the facts. Makes the decision making process easier. Going back OTR in spring after driving 4yrs local. Call Florida home so looking to maximize miles on weeks coming home and going back out. These were very slow weeks while driving dry van for Conway when I first started. Hoping reefer changes that a bit. Looking to keep your same schedule.

I have always heard good things about Crete. It seems the drivers I talk to seem to have 7 or more years.
Farmerbob1 and csmith1281 Thank this. -
Merry Christmas brethren. Hoping to come on with Shaffer in spring.
Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
Shaffer got me home for Xmas, which was nice, but I wasn't able to flip my sleep schedule in a day, so i ended up coming back to the truck and driving 400 miles on Xmas day, rather than coming back to the truck and sleeping before driving those miles.csmith1281 Thanks this.
