Crete Carrier - A Year In Review - Fall 2013 Going Forward

I Think I have a pretty good Asset Manager. 1st 5 weeks since back with Crete have been fairly productive. I'm gonna go knock on wood now til my knuckles bleed.........

 

Cool picture on Twitter today, George Takei posted a picture of a propanga Shaffer trailer

 

Waiting for International to get around to looking at my truck, they said this afternoon/evening. Got a call from my terminal "offering" a chance to go recover a truck in Michigan and take it to Indy because it has clutch problems. I declined, and was (politely) reminded the breakdown pay would be stopping and if I need a motel it'll be my problem. Hoping they get this thing going tonight.

 

They lied to you, they'll stop the breakdown pay after they offer you a different truck, BUT WILL pay for the hotel longer.

 

Were they going to pay you to do it

 

New Kingstown seems to be pretty aggressively trying to limit breakdown charges to 48 hours. They didn't offer me a different truck, just the chance for another long bus ride.

 

Yes.
I don't mind doing something while I wait, but I'm thinking a regen filter shouldn't take all that long to fix and I just did the all day bus ride to recover a truck that promptly breaks down thing last month.

 

Oh I'm with you I think they try to get drivers to do things cheap or for free all the time most carriers, if they really wanted it done they would pay you $20 an hour and give you a plane ticket

 

It seems the new AM are undertrained.I send empty call 10am then"how long for a load"at 11 and "r u short on freight today" at 12,got a responce msg at 1500 "did u get the bills".ridiculousness.

 

Might not be her fault, I think there was a Facebook post that they're having problems at Qualcomm and some messages were not getting through.
