CRETE - A Year in Review

Yeah mine was the same way...also showing only 60,000 for the year, I'm actually around 95k

 

My MMR is messed up too, June and July it shows 0 miles.
My October is right , it shows 7,765 with my average miles per dispatch at 385 miles.

Cory's still working here, I dealt with him while I was in Jersey. In spite of that, this looks like my best 8 days of running since I been at Crete. I'll have to stop early today because of my 70 and after I deliver in WI friday I'll have less than an hour left on the 70.
I sent Kenny a great job on the preplan the other day.

 

I've done ok since wasting time voting(1 of the 20 or so things I voted on went my way by a large margin, the rest went the other way by a large margin....so my vote didn't make any difference). I picked up a load Tuesday out of Macon, GA going to Chicago for Thursday...to a construction site. No directions...and a late pickup time, 7am delivery time. I messaged op's that I would be very tight on actual time, and given the fact that it was in the neighborhood of the I-57 and I-94 jct on the south side of town during morning rush...I asked them to contact the contractor to get directions so I wouldn't be late. 10-15 minutes later, I had directions...that I couldn't follow since my 13'6" won't duck low enough to fit under a 12'6" bridge...I whipped out my.......(get your mind out of the gutter, and up on the curb w/mine).....my Thunderbolt, fired up google maps and plotted a detour course around it. It only took a couple hours to unload, then off to Monticello, IN to pick up a load to Batavia, NY for 1300 Friday. All in all, 1685 miles isn't great, but since I took 3.5 days off this pay weeks miles, I won't have to get the whip and spurs out to make my asset mis-manager produce any better.

I also think the q'comm updated itself. My normal routine is when I start my day...I turn on the key to get the q'comm to restart. While it is getting it's act together, I pop the hood, check the oil and the under hood items, then come back in and it is ready. Then put myself on duty, turn on my lights, flashers and release the trailer brakes. Then finish checking things out. Once back in the truck, I would wait until the timer said I was at 10 to 11 minutes on duty, then I would roll out of the truck stop and by the time I got to the 2 mile limit where it would switch to driving, all the time I spent under the hood while it was rebooting balanced out. But this a.m. I noticed as soon as I hit the interstate entrance, I was already showing driving time(I was less than a mile away). So, I think they changed it so we can't use the 2 mile buffer(it's doing it like the people net system does it)...and just when I was getting to like this e-log crap.

 

Got an order over the qcom to head to New Kingstown for my "Fleets Review". Yep the same one I did over a year ago at my 90day mark. Someone at Wilmer lost mine so I get the joy of doing it again. Maybe I will get another portfolio/binder thingy!

 

It may be your yearly review(driving record changes, tickets etc.). I started getting beeped about mine in October, and mine isn't due until Thanksgiving. Plus they want me to see the blood borne disease movie again....ohhhh joy.

 

Nope, it's the Fleet Review video and quiz. My yearly is in Sept.
Same ol crap. I jumped thru the hoop they wanted me to; they lost the paperwork so they stick the same hoop out for me to jump thru again. Same thing happened with the DOT inspection I got from the nice ossifer down in Georgia. I fill out the envelope and turn it in at a terminal and a few weeks later Lincoln sends me a message about how I didn't turn it in. Luckily I had the terminal make a copy before i sealed the envelope.

 

I am now sitting in Marietta waiting for the shop to fix my bunk heat. #### thing will only blow cold air, probably the igniter. Doubt they get me in today since they go home at 18:30.

 

Well, it's offical. I am Crete's most valuable resource (look at my trailer).
I finally snagged 3,800+ miles with 4 extra stops in 8 days. I got parked at 8:30 this morning out of hours and have 350ish miles til I deliver my 2 stopper tommorow.
I hung out today in beautiful Wisconsin with all the local people, a couple of them were really loco too.

I"d like a decal on my truck showing how many years I've had a job and have been a taxpayer. You'll know me by when anyone says they've been in the military I tell them quick that I never had to join because I could always find a job. Oh and the people with the pow license plate = loser.

 

It's been a long day for all of us , but if you don't mind could you help me read your last post, are you saying that a person ( veteran ) is showing they were a POW are loser's ? And someone that joined the military did so because they couldn't find a job ?

 

That is about the most irresponsible thing I have ever seen posted. Lucky you have the freedom to say that, brought to you courtesy of those that did serve.
I did not serve myself, but I have a tremendous respect for those that did and do. I always will!
