Wolf you can actually start out as a student at Wylie. The recruiter was at my school a couple weeks ago,unless its certain schools.

this is part of the brochure

Student drivers with EW WYLIE
will be paid at $.31 a mile during
their training period

Training students will have a minimum
of 2,500 miles a week, meaning a student
driver can make upwards of $750 a week
while logging valuable miles and experience

Once you complete your training,
you will follow the current Wylie
pay package, including all bonus
and incentive pay.

What kind of hometime do you get at Crete ? How many days do you have to stay out ? How keen are the despatchers to get you home on time, and not asking you to cut short your hometime to pick up a load ?
The longer you are willing to stay out the more responsive dispatch is in geting you home. I stay out 4 weeks at a time and have never had a problem getting home on the day I request. Usually I get home a day early. Never been bothered when at home to go back out early either. They have no way of contacting you other than qualcomm.

Also if you had to which one would you choose
Crete will hire a student on the basis that they attend a PTDI school which means= Professional Truck Driving Institute. I am still working with Crete in regards to other schools that have "over" the qualified time and miles in the seat...but I haven't gotten any news yet. Crete is one of the best companies to go with...yes you will be a number but...they make sure they know "who's" number it is. I know from experience that with a smaller company they don't have all the man power to help when your truck breaks down and your stranded on the side of a highway till someone comes in the next morning since they don't answer the phone after a certain hour...and they don't pay layover pay like Crete does and if your truck needs major work then "you" would get paid to sit in a hotel room that is provided for you....that is how Crete takes care of you and your smaller companies, they usually don't care about....logs they just want you to run like the wind.....oh and if the truck needs servicing...."just keep going" they say....and going....till you just can't take it any more and let the truck die on the ramp of a D.O.T. inspections...lol..that was when my "small" company decided they needed to fix my truck....And I needed a better company.
Crete is the better way to go and I'm partial..sorry

Keep on truckin....
