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

Well, my week went from 2757 miles to 3565 today. I finished the load to Abingdon, VA and was waiting for a new offer, they sent me to Lenoir City to repower a load that was headed there. Funny thing...the driver passed me on I-81 with the very load I was getting...I just followed him (at a distance) all the way to Lenoir City. Dropped that load in Lebanon, TN tonight. Now I am sitting at the Pilot in Lebanon, TN and will head for Murfreesboro in the morning to pick up the next load going to Geneva, IL. After that delivers Monday morning, I should be headed home for a week.

Last 4 weeks: 3,940; 3,417; 2,587; 3,565

 

General Mills load, right? (The one to Geneva)

 

same here, got sent to Petro on I40 in north Carolina
next is fuel at the lenoir city terminal...
oh how I love fueling at the terminal only when they're running

 

How do you get 3900 miles in a week with a slow Crete truck?

 

Yeah, it's listed as Pillsbury...but

 

One load was picked up on Thursday afternoon and delivered on Monday, other load picked up Tuesday and delivered Friday...had 2 loads paid that week, 1869 and 2071 miles. So not all miles were driven in the 7 day period, but over 9 days. (The previous week suffered a bit on that, it was only 2400 miles.)

 

my fuel solution was at Lenoir City...but it was after shop hrs...and the pumps were padlocked

 

Good to see some companies are going after International.....for these junk navistar engines http://www.ccjdigital.com/carriers-...ed-defects-of-its-egr-only-maxxforce-engines/

 

oh okay, that's still good.

I've been averaging 2700-3100 miles per 7 days on the shaffer side.
I just had a 3000 mile week but I've had to be their butts about BS loads they "tried" to give me.

 

we should just get rid of DEF and that regen garbage all together
