Anyone here run Crete's Midwest Regional?

[Shawster]

I'm curious about it. Is it mainly Chicago to Indianapolis and Columbus? That's what their site indicates. I know that my miles would be shorter than running OTR, but it seems that I'd get home more often. Any info from someone who has ran it would be appreciated.

I've run into midwest regional drivers as far west as Topeka, as far south as Memphis and as far east as Allentown. Chicago, Indy and Columbus are the places with the most freight but you can go anywhere generally within a 700 mile radius of Indy. You can get home as often as every week but usually just long enough to get a reset in.
