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

my old P/S with the ISX and double bunk always had trouble with weight on the steers. The tanks being mounted so far forward was part of the problem. Since the switch to the Maxfart engine and single bunk I never have a problem with steer weight. Part of the reason is the Maxfart engine is a composite block which is much lighter than the ISX. One of the reasons the MF doesn't retain much heat. Not sure if any of these new P/S's are having issues though

 

I was thinking about trucking companies as opposed to a manufacturing outfit with a delivery subsidiary when I made that post. Nevertheless, Poly is an enterprise and all enterprises are comprised of human beings. Thus, even Poly will be imperfect occasionally from time to time. So don't toot-toot your horn too loud.

 

I am off to a rocky start with my new employer like SSB was with Poly. I can only hope my situation rebounds like his did.

 

does anyone have any experiance with crete midwest short haul. the recruiter says it pays 160 dollars a day, 6 days a week. sounds good,is their anything hidden like driver unload, multiple stops. ill be starting feb 24, any info on this, thanks.

 

The devil is always in the details. Good luck.

 

I talked to Peetz, he really likes the 119,000 mile rule. He told me the percent of drivers that qualify for the raise and it was low. You want to call bs, but it wouldn't make sense to tell me a lower number. He said when we had the load select it was 70%. Which I thought was low.

they worked on my Mobileye, looks like they made the screen super bright, and it was bright and sunny. At night I'll have to put tape over it

 

Happy Valentine's Day to all my sweethearts out there! :smt049

 

There is a strong likelihood that I will be rejoining your ranks SOON! What a nightmare I walked into.

 

rut roh!
