CRETE - A Year in Review

There is also a large cold storage group of warehouses. Crystal distribution systems.

 

for the squall-com there's also a small 3 amp fuse to the far right side of the fuse array. Might be worth checking it. *whoknows*


I'm on a Menards run to Plano, IL so I sent a message asking if it could del. ASAP. Dispatch responded that it shouldn't be a problem so i sent in my updated PTA. A while later I got a message asking for my ETA. I replied to that and then I got a message back thanking me for on time del Not sure what to think of it I called the person just checking to see if they were feeling well. I sent a message "haha, don't be nice it confuses us drivers )

 

6 hours...that's right 6, to unload a Minooka load(only 1 page of product) in Cedar Falls, IA. And $275 unload charges...not by an unload service, but by the employees of the customer. The other Crete that delivered there was there just over 5 hours. Then it was off to Waverly, IA to pick up a load going to.....drum roll please...the Chicagoland area. Going to Des Plaines for 8 am. tomorrow...which aint gona happen because by the time I got out of delivery A and picked up, I barely had enough time to get to Des Plaines if there were no red lights or traffic. But going in on I90 at 8 am...what's the likelyhood of there not being a traffic fluster cluck. So the cycle repeats again this week. But honestly, as long as I'm home Friday for my Saturday appointment...it can cycle all it wants.

 

You guys are so helpful, I can't thank you enough. 4 days without qcom, called several shops and no one mentioned that. It was a square plug under the bunk. Not even visibly loose, but I unplugged and plugged back in. The qcom still showed sensor error and I was bummed, but a few minutes later it all cleared up. I am in a rare good mood, lol. Thanks again!

 

You're welcome, glad to see something finally worked out right for ya'! Maybe this will be the turning point where things go back to the better times you were having for a stretch.

I still havent figured out why they don't put these control units in the nice little squared off area under there on these Prostars. Instead of taking up sidebox room and making it vunerable to locks and tools hitting it if we brake too hard.

 

I managed to get through the morning rush fairly quickly and was only 10 or so minutes past my original appointment time. Once empty, I am offered a load out of Montgomery, IL to Harrisonville, MO for the same day delivery, but I was about 30 minutes short on drive time. So they offered me a Montgomery, IL to Clarksville, AR for tomorrow. But for some reason my A/M got my home time date mixed up, and was shooting for Saturday...which would be a problem since I'm suppose to be in my doctors office at 8 am on Saturday...but he/she got it straight. As I was almost to Montgomery, another preplanned load from Conway, AR to Mcdonough, GA for Thursday, then while I was waiting for General Mills to get done loading my load (we were out of empty's) another preplan from Atlanta to Macclenny for Friday...then home for a week. This cat has her/his stuff together...and doesn't get rattled easily. Turns out this totally new rookie A/M is working out much better than I had anticipated.

 

Is it me, or did it get real hot all of a sudden. Around the 'burbs of chicago it was mid 80's +...down here in Troy, IL its almost as hot. Crete's twitter page said 97 in Lincoln (if it stays that hot, gona have to call it stinkin' Lincoln). They say Denver is in the mid-upper 90's...there goes the ice cold refreshing taste of Cold filtered Coors.

 

Well I messed that up!

The above pic is Taksim Square in Istanbul where all of the protesting is going on. I was fortunate enough to go there twice. The city is a truly amazing place! I loved it there. I hope they don't go the way of Egypt.

Not sure why I posted that. I was just listening to FoxNews covering the protesting and made me think back to better times.

Now back to your regular programming...

 

Hell...I thought maybe Crete got you a Kellogg's load going there...
