CRETE - A Year in Review

Oh crap...I've been using the wrong calander...You mean the Mayan/Aztec calanders aren't right??? I thought the world was suppose to end in 2012....Great...At least I won't have to pay bills much longer..."why yes Mr Visa, I will accept that $5000 credit limit increase". I'll be able to watch the end of the cycle on a new HD 52" bigscreen W/picture-in-picture. That way I can watch MSNBC on one picture, and Fox news on the other...they can go back and forth blaming the other political party for the end.

 

When and why did they shut down the Council Bluffs shop?

 

Not sure, but that's what dispatch said...was news to me too. Guess it was too close to the Hunt shop in Omaha, and it got the trucks fixed faster and better than the other shops...made the others look bad(my guess, I don't know the actual reason)

 

LOL! Supersnack you crack me up. I feel for ya Longbow, hope they (shop) gets ya fixed up and rolling again. Last year I had two occasions of drivers forgetting GOAL and back right into my mirrors, thank god they must be made outta Kevlar on the Cascadia

 

It makes me wonder what is going on with AMS.

T-1's have doubled in length from 2 months to 4 months, and now the Council Bluffs shop has closed.

I just hope there's something left after they trim all the fat...

 

I agree i thought it was 2012 also...i guess i better go buy that fishing boat that i cant afford and get alil time on it...lol

 

Welcome to the new Crete terminal. lol if you get a load offer to Mcdonough Ga. tell them to forget it.. Kimberly Clark is over run with Crete trucks. Most of the ones you see here have been here for 2 days. i though it was going to be a good week.mmm man was i wrong Just left the house last friday. Started out ok loaded in West Plains, Mo. dropped it in e st louis drop yard and picked one up going to Ochelata, Ok.
Cool keep moving. Dropped it saturday afternoon and disp sent offer right away. Jenks ,Ok to Beech island,SC. again cool keep movin. got there and heres trouble. All i have is a bunch of these going to Mcdonough, Ga. whoppin 156 miles and the rest is history. look at the pic of the new terminal lol.

 

####, I delivered this morning in Peachtree City and got a load out of LaGrange going to Paris, Tx. P/U wasn't supposed to be until 1500 but the load was ready at 0900 when I got there. Delivers ASAP too. Guess I lucked out. Going to end up with 14,000 miles in 28 days. Might be a record for me.

 

I Was offerd 2 loads. 1 to london,ky and the other to mcdonough. Im glad i pick the london load. I wish they would get me an ochelata load so i can go home. They have me going to kansas city. That should get me home on the day i requested depending on if they have one to ochelata. Last week in houston i saw a crete cascadia with 34 years of service and 5 million miles on the side of it. Thats a long time with 1 company.

 

Now I know what is happening to my Central Trailers!
