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

Good luck Joe. And don't pet the wildlife.

 

crete tryied to get me to come back tomarrow I told them no way I am out usually 5-6 weeks and they do only let me stay home I am going else where
4 days off will only burn me out and I look for something where I can go home every other weekend and no more northeast then

 

I am going to ask if they have any dedicated accounts where I can get home every 2 weeks and still make money if I am probably done with crete
I will be not be told I am being cut on my time off
I already told my assett manager if my home time is cut short I will hand in my keys and take more time off or leave crete

 

relax, they can ask, but you're still entitled to your 4 days off. You might make them mad and they put you on the OHPAOHPAOHPA board. Great places up there to stop for the night, lower miles, but a heck of a time.
Don't look at the Qualcomm on your hometime

 

cut short? what do u mean by that?
Is the "rule" here still one day home for every 6 days out with a max of 4 days?

Speaking of the Northeast I'm on a load to Maine.
Why they always try to route you through DC and George Washington bridge... I don't know

 

lol I usually get 5 days off but I got home friday afternoon around 5est
and I was asked to come back yesterday at 9am est lol
I am cutting my time out so I dont get the burnt out feeling

 

Don't answer the phone when crete calls on your time off

 

Got a new air bag for my drivers seat...picking up around Indy and heading to TN for the morning, then should be able to grab something to SC....might have to go to GA first....wezel see.....

 

Because to the computer program that does the routing, it looks like the best, most direct route. The computer does not take into account thinks like traffic, stoplight and driveway data. If it's a divided highway or a freeway, it's a good route, period; regardless of any other factors. If they set up my fuel stops in such a way that would force me to go that way, I ask for new ones. If they try to give me a hard time, I ask them if they really want their truck idling along in traffic for hours wasting a bunch of that fuel. Have yet to not be issued new fuel stops.

 

That's what I just did, they didn't seem to mind when I asked to change the fuel solution.
I'm done with the George Washington bridge, my final straw was going over it around midnight on a Sunday and it took me over two hours to go across.
