    CCC thinks that .... Oh since they pay abit more than the average outfit that they are entitled to screw you with frequent short/unproductive loads. Drivers think they cant go any where else because they will be making less CPM= less money.. I call BS !

    I'm 7000 miles ahead of last year at the end of July, this could be my best year here at Crete yet. What is weird, is I've actually had 3 less dispatches than last year, but more miles. Very satisfied.

    At least this load gets me by Summit in Ohio tommorow, sure I could have stopped there today and drove more, and had less to drive tommorow.
    But why bother?
    (I got a $15 gift certificate to spend there before October )
    I am so fed up with the loads lately, could this be it?
