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

Too much of a square to do anything fun on the road.

 

Dropped in Owensboro, next load picks up anytime in Danville, KY, 174 miles deadhead, I think.
So I swung by home for the night,,
They'll have to change my fuel stop tommorow.

 

Truck shut down during regen.Yay Me!

 

Where is home, Tucker?

 

I live inTell City, IN. At least they changed the fuel stops.
What have you been up to?

 

Reynolds warehouse in Joplin MO.
Checked in at 11:30 for an 11:30 appointment.
Loaded, sealed and bills in hand at 12:10
36k, scaled at 11k, 28k and 28k
Pretty sure it wasn't a dream

 

I wush I could regenerate this cascadia, if the dpf is 90 percent or higher then the opti-idle doesn't always start the engine

 

I am back on the road after a day in Deland getting the B Service the truck was due for. Went over to Leesburg today to pick up some Juice and then off to Wildwood to scale it, and it was legal. I then hit I-75 North at 65 MPH. Been a while since I could do that (even if it is only on cruise), but it does not seem all that different. I did notice that I did not get passed by any Schneider or Swift trucks, though....

 

I haven't had a Crete truck pass me since way back in Nebraska when they first announced it.
I'm due for a B Service , Im gonna tell them if it won't do 65 on the floor then don't mess with it.
If they change it, oh well, I hope I don't use it, I'd hate to rub my finger raw trying to get that extra speed.

 

Well, they will do it when you go in for service, you don't have to ask, also I was told that they don't have to wait for the service anymore, that most shops will update the truck if the driver asks now...it only takes 2 minutes from what I was told (by another driver), so take that with a grain of whatever....
The "only at next service" was at first so that shops were not overwhelmed by drivers just coming in to try and get it done right away.
