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

He could easily run out west and then get back home on time.
Maybe Crete wants to run the snowy freight out west this winter

 

SOP @ CCC. They use to do that to me when I was there, until I fooled them and took one postponing my home time a few weeks...then is was 3 years before I ever saw the west coast again. (Which happened to be the same week I was interviewed and hired by Poly)

 

Not with the way Crete dispatches especially out West...

 

Sitting at the Loves at exit 64. NB commercial vehicle restriction is currently 6AM til 7PM....gonna run night shift for a few days...yippee!

Also of note: Having spent the last several days in CA, I went through exactly one scale. I80 WB. Got the green light on the PrePass several times (including Banning WB), and Cajon was closed this morning.

 

i loaded in Utah yesterday, will be home in Indiana tomorow, deliver Monday.

now I hope the other drivers that got this same load can tcall theirs somewhere.

And yes it is rare for anything like this

 

Crete driver told me today...he saw 4 new Peterbuilts in transit for delivery....they all had Crete / Shaffer name on the doors

 

Was driver telling me truth about the Peterbuilts...no idea...just a 5 min chat at a shipper

 

Guy I got repowered by the other day told me we were testing 10 KWs. Claimed they're trying to put pressure on International.

 

I would think the recent influx of mid-roof Freightliners they have been getting would do just that. Crete tried Pete's years ago, but the reliability and availability of replacement parts did those in. I would have a hard time believing they would fork out all that extra just to put a red oval logo'd truck in the fleet. I would guess that just to put the red Peterbuilt emblem on it adds $5k to the purchase price. And a KW wouldn't be much cheaper.

 

Who's buying me supper at Kansas City tonight?
