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

If you go with the Wilson Trucker antenna, get the bird pirch for the spot mirror mount on the top of the passenger door. Those antennas are meant to be mounted up high.

My SWRs, after just throwing the Firestik up and not tuning it, are 1.5-1.1 1-40 respectively, so the antenna is too short, which is unheard of for an untuned cut-to-tune fiberglass. Not sure what to do about that, but since everything is under 1.5, I'm not all that worried about it. I might double up the stud to get an extra inch of length, and if that doesn't put it right, oh well.

 

Well after I deliver in Denver tomorrow I will have 2800 paid miles since last Tuesday. Not bad and none of the loads have been too tight. Let's see if this keeps picking up.

 

What kind of truck did you buy?

 

2011 Freightliner Cascadia.

 

How many loads are you given to choose from each time

 

I am still company till June 1st. So I have talked to 3 o/o's in person so far. All of them have said they are happy with Crete. I asked them about load offerings and they said that they usually get one now and if it doesn't fit what they like to do then they refuse and another is sent. I am told directly from one of the Crete o/o support persons that it is load choice, up to 3, depending where you are. So, this is something I will nail down when I talk with them again. Also, when in Lincoln I will visit with the o/o's asset managers who only work with o/o's.

 

Stern did another great interview today with Robert Downey Jr. Somewhere along the line he became a great actor.
So I stopped and got The Judge, Great movie, 10 thumbs up for it. Plus Bobby D is in it.
Now I need to learn about these Avengers, ugh

 

What is the white dome that sits up on the back of the Cascadia in a black metal support. I don't have one that I can see on the Prostar.

 

If it's the size of a hard hat, it is probably the satellite qualcomm transceiver antenna...all the prostars use to have the cell based qualcomm or people net...their transceiver looks like an upside down tv dinner tray. If it's a cone shaped thing about the size of a small funnel, I think that is the peoplenet system antenna

 

I thought it was that. Thanks.
