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

They probably will. I was off for 5 weeks and had a surgery, when I returned I had to get the certification redone. they will make you do it so that it reflects the medical procedure that you had done.

 

you probably will. I knew of 2 drivers who had the orthroscopic hernia surgery where they were in and out of the hospital the same day...and they had to.

When I had the old snip-a-roo done to "the boys" not long before I left Crete...I said nothing for fear they'd make me get a release from Dr. Snip before sending me to their quack for a physical. My doctor didn't call it an out patient surgery...he calls it an in-office procedure.

 

oh yeh, Hoping to get the BP meds cut out so I can get a two year card.

 

Hopefully you guys are just running too darn hard to post

One more week till I'm back on the road. It's right before Christmas but we're doing our family thang early. It starts with a nice brunch at home this Saturday. Then a 45 minute flight in a C47 WW-II vintage aircraft to look at Christmas lights. Then a nice dinner at Sundance Square in Foat Wuth. Looks like the weather is gonna be a lot better than this past weekend.

 

Home til Monday morning.

 

The real Crete Christmas party is on the 14th at Stony Ridge, show up if you dare

 

Why ruin a perfectly good evening in your truck by going to a party and be ignored by the office people.

 

I just want to give a Shout-Out to "Jimmy Johns".....forget the old timers name, but we spent 12hrs last week at a Graphics Packaging place waiting to get loaded, this gentleman parked next to me came knocking on my door with a sub sandwich and asked if I could use half. I appreciate it, said he'd been with Crete since "72. Thanks Again !

 

At the TA tonight in Morris, IL after delivering my load at APL Logistics in Minooka, IL that I picked up at Kellogg's in Augusta, GA. It's been snowing over here for a couple of hours. Going to pick up a load at APL Logistics in the morning and take it to Hyvee Food Stores in Chariton, IA, (a consignee I've been to once before.) Anyway, it's a short trip, but it fits the program because all I have is seven and a half hours to work with for tomorrow. I'm also going to stop at Walcott Radio on the way and buy me a Spot Mirror Antenna Mount to mount my satellite radio antenna on my new Cascadia.

Oh...I also get to stop the paper logs starting on Sunday after having done both for a couple of weeks. Can't wait to put up the paper logs!

 

I wished I hadn't resisted the switch to elogs. Once I got released to only do elogs I was gaining hours and had a lot less hassles. You'll see
