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

I was a +1 for one month once because I had a preventable (hit a guy's mirror at a truck stop) but those points fell off the next month. I was once a -13..haha

Also the "atta boys" can be kept forever and still be good when you turn them in. Once turned in they're just like you said...good for a year.

 

When I was there I always had to wait for the 4th or 5th of the following month before it was available. With 5000 drivers, sometime the mainframe had a lot of data to crunch.

 

9600 with 5 days off for the month. Not too bad I guess. And I'm somehow at -14 on points. Even stranger, despite all of the crappy low mileage stuff I've been stuck with lately my average length of haul is up from last year (786 vs 709). Not sure I believe that... It's also telling me my fuel compliance was 6%

 

3,940 miles all within one week?

That's not possible with a 62MPH truck and HOS

 

It is possible, especially when running east of the Mississippi. He is also talking about the miles that will be paid on that weeks check.

 

Picked up the first load on Thursday, 7/3, and delivered Monday, 7/7, so all miles not driven in the week, but they will all fall in this weeks payroll.

Loads were:
Ogden, UT to Alabaster, AL (delivered 7/7)
Blountsville, AL to Riverside, CA (still on the way, but delivers 7/11)

 

Yep, I have 36 of them sitting in my truck, in my 12 years here, I have never turned one in.

 

I would like to give a special shout out to the CSR for my current load. They have the rec. hours as 0400 till 1000 but in reality they're 0530 to 1430. Had I known the correct hours I could have been unloaded today instead of waiting till the morning. Thanks for wasting my afternoon :thumbs up:

 

Coleman cooler number 3 gave up trying to cool anything. I think Phoenix was too much for it. Is there any fix for these things?

 

I've ordered parts for them. I have replaced the fan and a cord. I actually have two now since my mom went out and bought me one not knowing I had ordered parts..haha
