    I know its been a while since I posted, but I've been pretty dang busy. I got a 2010 prostar with Crete a month and a half or so ago. So far things have gone pretty well. I have been averaging I'd guess about 2400-2500 miles a week. My best so far is about 2900, worst about 1800 (just came back out from hometime). I just had my first break down today, but it got fixed pretty quick and I'll be rolling again tomorrow. Pay is like clockwork every thursday so far, can't ask for more than that. So far I would say I am pretty happy where I am. Time for some sleep, gotta make up for a little lost time today.

    Hey I'm thinking of going with Crete as a student driver with no experience. What kind of take home pay on average can I expect to take home in my first year with them?

    It takes a while, as they do a lot of the investigative part of the process before they will accept you.

    No updates on his thread since early Aug. Hope they are just keeping him busy and he just got tired of the forum. Has any of his driving school buddies heard from him? Heck for a page or two there was a whole gaggle of em signing on with Crete.

    And here it is December 7, 2011, and still nothing. He hasn't been on since October, so I hope he's busy, too.

    I was busy, was averaging 2500 a week. Just recetly came off the road to work locally at the conagra plant here in town. Up until I came here things were going quite well.
