    I got my "new" truck with Werner and nobody took any effort whatsoever, to clean it in the slightest. It absolutely reeked of smoke and there were Black and Mild wrappers literally everywhere. The previous dirtbag spilled coke all over the floor and let it dry. So there was hardened sugar and ash on every inch of the floor. People are gross and honestly Werner should have paid someone to detail it. The smoke smell still takes a negative toll on your health, you smell it, because it's still there. It makes all of your clothes and bedding smell of it. It's just gross.

But there’s nothing wrong with that. We aren’t manipulating viewers or focusing on recruiting or lying. We are having a good experience and making 50% more money than with Werner. So we’ll keep sharing our journey and showing what it’s like on the road and sharing what we learn, helping others drivers, especially rookies. We are honest and ethical. We ‘featured’ Werner for a year. Never made one extra dollar or get special treatment or referral bonus the year we were there. We did it because we like helping and entertaining others. Seems you did not have a good experience with Crete. Sorry to hear it. We, on the other hand, are having a great experience. And we’ll share that with our viewers.
