How often would you like to get home? If you want to be home every week look elsewhere. If you can stay out 3 or more weeks at a time they are a good choice. |

I dont want to do OTR, but Ill be a grad June 22nd and it looks like the best bet for a newb is to suck it up do OTR for a year and get some experiance.

| Shaffer does have a NE regional fleet that you might be able to get on. I hear the miles aren't very good but you would be able to get home more often than with Crete. |

| Now whats the deal with Crete ans Shaffer? I see their trailers have the same schemes and what not. Is it the same company? Different divisions? Partner company? |

| Crete owns Shaffer. Historically Crete was the dry van division and Shaffer was the reefer division. In recent times that distinction has been blurred somewhat. When you see a Shaffer truck pulling a Crete trailer, 9 times out of ten, it's a Crete driver who was given a Shaffer truck because Crete didn't have any trucks at the time that driver needed one. |
