Default Back on the road

Due to circumstances waaaay beyond the control of this mere mortal man, I was forced back into working class.

Couldnt find anything worth doing locally, so I am back with Crete on their Western Regional Fleet. On my way back from their orientation in Lincoln Nebraska.

Presently sitting in the TA in Denton Texas waiting for a 4pm load time and then heading to El Paso and then into the West Region routine.

Working out of their Phoenix Terminal. New staff since I was here in 2007 and a much better group from what I can see, time will tell.

Def a much better looking crew.....Jenna and Jamie....WOW!!!

Im in truck 32121 if you should see me out here.

good luck your second go round. I've heard good things about crete. If your looking to get out of the trucking industry I hope things eventually work for you there as well. Everyone deserves to be doing something they like. Denton TA, that the one that has that awsome steak? not even a regular TA returaunt attached to it, yummmy

Sounds good, not too much longer before I'm able to venture back into that world again.

The miles at IWX went to hell and I got tired of spending more time in the bunk of the truck than the drivers seat.

Im getting 3X the miles at Crete. So here I go again.....

glad to hear you're rolling again.. and I believe

Crete was a much better choice than SRT--

and they still get plenty of their drivers home to North Arkansas- if you ever decide to relocate...

congratulations.

Is Crete still going as good as they were in the fall?

I almost went on their Midwest regional, but I got sidetracked and hired on with a company near my house.

The hometime is not what was promised and the dispatcher is an unexperienced moody type person.

So I may look into Crete again, guess I need to start talking to Crete drivers at the truckstops again.

Merry Christmas everyone.

From what I've heard, Crete is a good company to work for. Hopefully, they can keep ya busy.
