    I am sooooo glad I left Crete. At Poly, my last 4 loads...Mont Belvieu TX to Cottage Grove, MN...Cottage Grove to a 2 stops around SLC...then deadhead to Henderson, NV for a load to the NW corner of WA state...now on a load from Sumner, WA to a 2 stop in the DFW area. Not one load under 1200 miles. The load to Cottage Grove...asap. The load to the SLC area...driver sets appointment...the load to the NW....driver sets appointment...the DFW load...asap. If this company can do it, I wonder why a high tech power house like Crete can't...I guess too many cooks spoil the vichys soise.

    Does Crete reimburse when Truck Stops charge for parking? Planning to stop for the night at the TA in Willington, CT.

    think the better question is dose CCC allow inverters with out having a cpap machine one we could put in or have maintenance put in like around the 1500 watt range?

    No, they do not. They also DO NOT reimburse for faxes when you are sending in your ppwk and there's no transflo available.

    However...they do reimburse if you download the paid version of the Camscanner app and use it to send in your paperwork. Or at least they use to. Now that transflow has their own app...they may be opting for that one instead since it's free.

    Only inverters Crete allows w/o a cpap or a doctors note is the ones you plug in the 12v outlet. If you have a doctors note they will allow the shop to put in one, of their choice...but the driver covers the cost of equipment and labor.

    It's so rare for me to have to pay for parking as a last resort. I'd say never, but I do pay to park when I want to stay at a certain place. Even though I could easily drive 5 minutes and park for free.
    I have a scanner for my laptop and the Transflo app, I don't use them. I can scan them in the following week and get paid later, I'm lucky I can afford it. I'll hold a trip back sometimes so I don't turn on too many miles for a paycheck, tax reasons.

    Im off off to find me a deep fried avocado, yumm
