    Y'all know I've been pretty happy with JB that is until I tried to transfer to Corpus Christi. Only option otr out 90 off 7 paid $800 for 7. So I thought. Well that's a long time to be out but ok... Then they dragged their feet getting back to me so I applied to Crete for grins. JB transfer person got back to me but she can't get account manager to call me for "interview" presumably to see if I'm acceptable to him or not. Meanwhile Jb bad mouthed me to Crete pretty badly but Crete made me an offer anyway.
    Crete pays 50 cents a mile vs 48
    Out 45 7 off but not paid for the off time.
    48 states vs east of the Rockies.

    Assuming Jb terminal manager ever bothers to call and accept me...which one sounds better?

    I know both are megas but I decided that would get the move done and tanker jobs there don't look all that good.

    Still snooping job possibilities. Learned that bay and bay have driver facing cameras. I will dig ditches before I will work under those conditions.

    Loyalty is a 1 way street with most of these companies, I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger, especially after JB bad mouthed you.

    Yes. And I forgive them for trying to run Crete off. JB still loves me. God. I sound like a battered wife!
