    Seems like More and More Crete is hiring anybody with a pulse...... if they valued safety they would go back and require 2 years of exp upon consideration of hire. Safety is just a buzz word over there.

    Picked up a potato chips load in Salt Lake going to Frankfort IN. First time for me, route went North at Rawlings to Casper then back down to Cheyenne to avoid the altitude change over Elk mountain. Trailer had a bad tire that I ended up getting changed at the Loves in Sydney NE. Checked into the shop around 1400, done a little before 1900. Worked out okay, the place has a boatload of parking.

    Got fuel at the TA at London OH. Werner driver asked me how things were at Crete and I guess I was a little distracted. I think he was trying to recruit me. Apparently he gets 4000 miles a week and he really loves working there.

    At C&S/Tops in Lancaster NY. Backed into a door at 20:30 last night and at 05:00 still not done. In the Olympics of slowness I guess they’re going for the gold.
