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

I was wondering about that myself

 

First home time since starting 5 weeks ago. Worst week was first week at 2100 miles. Best week was last week at 3200. Truck runs and pulls great and I have had no trailer problems. I keep hearing from Crete veterans this is the best move they ever made. I hope to say the same.

 

....same here. Sunday will be 5 weeks out for me....headed home next week... so far my experience with Crete overall has been positive. I did orientation in New Kingstown.

 

Crete truck..taken out by another Crete truck...Marietta terminal

 

And why is a bobtail taking up a full parking spot?
.
I wouldn’t even stay hooked to a trailer in that row or the row across from it. It was way too tight for me.
Nothing sexist, but I always thought a woman designed that parking lot.

 

I read on a Facebook post that it was hooked to a trailer, it had to be unhooked to be repowered

 

I visited the Mechanicsburg Terminal yesterday,and ,I don’t know who designed the main gate location,but they need to be slapped.

 

Why?

 

On exit,the card reader is in a curv

when you exit,there is a curve before the card reader.You can see where everyone has been hitting the barriers trying to get close to the card reader while getting trailer around curve.I myself swung wide pulling up past the card reader,then walked back to open gate.

 

That's the Crete design. Marietta was at a funny angle and the old gate in Wilmer use to be at a weird angle (and too close to the road) before they had to redesign it because of the road construction...goes to prove that the people running Crete know nothing about trucking from our perspective.
