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

I have been running. Last 3 weeks anyway. 2,665, 2,717 and 2,752 for those weeks. I go home for 9 days on the 18th, so this week I take as much as I can without getting out of the area, so I make it home on time.

Enjoy your last week off and good luck! Merry Christmas.

 

nice job!!!!!

 

Awesome man!

Thanks! This two months off has me very anxious to get back out. I'm tired of doing nothing..haha

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

 

An ex crete just wondering about the KC MO yard. When did they install the electronic gates and are Kathy and Christie still in the office? Crete is a good company , don't get me wrong, but after 20 yrs of going everywhere, no consistant miles week after week, found a small company just down the street where I get 3,000 miles every week, west coast and back and home every week!! That is my style, tires ain't turning, driver ain't earning!! GOD SPEED Crete Borthers and Sisters!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

 

My last few weeks have been a little softer than normal, but still 2600 to 2700 each week. Truck is running great since the visit to Lincoln for the regen issue. With Christmas being mid-week this year, the last few weeks of '13 will be a little iffy, but that's OK. I'll achieve my goal of an 8% increase in gross earnings over my last two years at Schneider. Not by much, but I'll hit it.

Home right now, getting ready to attend my stepson's college graduation tomorrow, then back at it Tuesday morning. Stay safe, everyone, and may the spirit of the season be with you all.

 

Congrats to your stepson!

 

Thank you. He's the first in his family to become a college grad. His sister is right behind him, next May. In addition to already having a six-month-old, he and his wife are also expecting their second child next June, so he's a busy guy!

BTW, Stungjoe....how are you gettin' along? I haven't checked in much over the last two weeks or so. Hoping you are reaping the benefits of your investment

 

He must be busy..haha

I've been adjusting, thanks! I have to learn what I can eat and what I can't. Something as simple as clam chowder sent me to the bathroom...haha I do think the surgery will pay off in spades though. Heck I'm no longer on BP meds and down nearly fifty pounds. Thanksgiving put a whoa in my weight loss but it's back on track now. Dietitian visit tomorrow then the doctor on Wednesday. He will sign my release so i should be back in a truck by next weekend. Since we already did our family Christmas i will be out till mid Jan.

 

That is truly fantastic, man! (Uh, the fifty pounds, NOT the clam chowder!)

 

As a former Creten myself...gone almost 3 months...they were using the gates the last few times I was in KC. But only used them when the shop or office were closed. If you had a food delivery when they were down...you had to go wait by the gate and open it for them.
