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

Got a run from neenah, wi to romeoville, il
Will end up with 2900 for this last week

 

I finally got the load I have been toting around for the last week, off the trailer. After that, I got a load from Stuarts Draft, VA to Edwardsville, IL. It should have picked up yesterday, but I guess I was the best option. Delivers anytime Friday, and with those miles I will have a 3,417 mile week. Good followup to the 3,940 I just got paid for today. They also have me pre-planned on an Edwardsville to North Platte load picking up Friday and dropping anytime Saturday.

 

Is that Stuarts Draft load out of Alcoa?

 

No, it was out of Hershey...I know this is a Crete thread, but I pull blue trailers.

 

Hey, we're all one big happy family...well big family...ok ok just maybe big..haha


Does anybody have any firsthand experience with a 1999 Ford V10 gas? I'm looking at a F250 with the Triton engine(the part I'm unsure about) and only 47K on the odo. This guy is super OCD about his stuff! I just missed his 30' fifthwheel camper to someone else. But his truck is still for sale.

 

Yeah. Complete and utter BS that they always route through the busiest corridor in the US, with the least truck parking per capita.

I would really love to see signs pop up that say "THRU TRUCKS MUST USE I-287 EXCEPT TO LONG ISLAND" on all the major highways just before 287. Would really, really love that.

 

Oddly since I put in to be home the 20th, I get offered the
Lima to Pineville load that delivers the 19th. Looks like I'll be late getting home

 

OK so I'm due home time on Saturday and I get a couple of preplans sent to me...fantastic! Sho nuff it gets me home by Saturday night but wait! It doesn't deliver until Monday at 0530..wth...I mean WTH!!?? So I put in for a tcall but like the stand-in AM told me.."It's kinda hard top cover a 0530 shag run" Yes I know this so looks like i will be home Saturday, off Sunday and then get up ridiculously early on Monday to go cover this delivery then off the rest of the day. I have to go back out on Wednesday. I lived a charmed life.

 

your hometime would start after you empty, if you want a couple more days off.

 

I'm home now until Tuesday morning.
