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

Nothing at all.
I've had it with these short loads and made up times on the load info
Edit.. Last time I told my terminal to get me a daycab, I was told there was no daycab freight in my area, but I did get a load from Georgia to Utah... It took forever to get unloaded at the walmart out there...

 

Time to go over to Skyline or is it Styline? Just keep giving notice but don't quit. Maybe you keep getting longer runs that way.

 

I applied today, they might not be hiring right now..
Over 6 hours to get loaded, they were punishing me and another driver that were "late" .
And went 14 minutes over on my 14 looking for a parking spot

 

I saw a couple new Hunt trucks heading out of NC yesterday. I guess even Hunt is giving up on Navistar....2 flat top Cascadias piggyback behind someone elses daycabs

 

1 I heard someone rolled a new 40,000 series truck loaded with beer up by Scranton, PA early this week. It's doubly sad.
2 Yep, a new asset manager, with their name I don't have a clue what it is.
3. I hate this load, I hope I never see Newlyweds in Erlanger, KY .
4. Looks like a lot of office people in Lincoln will get a raise for Christmas with the new overtime rule. And I'm happy for them.

I guess that means less drivers will get enough miles to get their raise this year. I mean, they have to cut cost somewhere, and you know Tonneboy won't be taking a pay cut

 

Passed some open scales, all green lights on PrePass, the one scale I did have to go in (that did not have PrePass) sent me on my way. Now I'm sitting in the Green Bay yard doing a reset. Overall ISS score of 31 FTW.

 

Well my maxieforce may be dead....with 460,000 miles.....blown head gasket and cracked head....being towed to Crete/Indy....Greensboro said call back Monday....to see what's next....I pity the driver that gets this truck next...I got it new 3 years ago...and it has spent many miles behind a wrecker

 

If anyone is ever offered truck# 36367....run away from it ...FAST !!!

 

Maybe he started the other thread to get the hiring bonuses to pay the office people more.

Since I ran the OHPAOHPAOHPA zone, PA was working hard, they had several rest area scales open and OH had extra men doing inspections, most the rest areas a truck was getting dot' too and on the turnpike 3 DOT bears were doing inspections on the shoulder.
And Friday, in the old scale south of Lodi, 2 trucks were in there getting inspected.
