    I usually don't stop for my 1st pottie break until after 3-350 miles. I don't know how people run like that.

    300+300,and everything over is a bonus.

    Many Creffer preplans offered....average out to around 400 miles a day...which I turn down as non productive ....wonder if this is done on purpose...to accommodate the majority of drivers....who are lazy...which forces Creffer to book freight this way

    And I'm begging for loads at or above that level and can't get them...I am starting to get the feeling I am not wanted here.

    Unload went better than most of the Google Maps reviews said. Unloaded by my appointment, paperwork completed within an hour. It's 11:30 local time and I 3/4 loaded at the water warehouse (13:00 appt.). Op's said I can drop this in N. Platte anytine after 14:00, then my preplan is to deadhead to the Hunt yard, move my stuff to a maroon truck and then start orientation on Monday.......not really, I drop this empty at the Hunt yard and bobtail to a bakery in Omaha after noon tomorrow and pick up a preloaded trailer going to Joliet for Monday.
