    I talked to the CCC recruiter yesterday, the money sounds great, I'm still puzzled why the high turnover rate. From the outside it looks like a good companu,but there's something on the inside running the drivers off...what is it ?
    Can a few of you spill the beans ?
    People don't leave 44 CPM for no reason.

    being treated as a kid, no respect for the drivers, and the micro management of the drivers.

    well I didn't get a beer run. down in Hudson, CO heading to Omaha. get this, q comm says I must bobtail! out from cons! I asked my AM and he confirmed. "so what about next load" I asked. " we'll have to find something then" Is it too much to ask that planning actually plan?

    My mother was a Cahoone and her mother O'Riley. Daughters of Satan they were!!LOL
    Sorry, had to say that first, and my freckles give me a ticket to the front row.
    Thanks for starting a new thread, I'm OTR 4 months and learning everything POSITIVE I can to continue this career.
    And I have heard many good things about Crete, couple of negative but I always consider the source.
    Thanks again!

    They run us so hard , the older ones die of exhaustion. Odds are your first couple of trucks will have an odd smell.
    Really


    I hope I 90 is covered in ice.
    Years ago when I was in SD, I checked out the Corn Palace. It was something.

    Friend just told me. Crete is routing him to Willmer. To make him trade his cpap machine. For a new one . But they didnt tell him if he has to pay for the new one or not. He wondered if anybody else got this msg. He is quiting if they make him buy the new machine.
