    You didn't park early and call a snow day?

    Back when I was a kid, the snow day was the best day there was, see, you had to be near the tv to hear the snow day music, then we had to wait for our school to scroll up, it always did, as we lived in the woods. Ramble, ramble, more nonsense, will it ever end? These kids now a days with their fancy smart phones and the internet know instantly if they have school. They're missing out on the finer little things.

    Anyways, are you stuck with the load? or can you drop it this weekend?

    I wonder what happened to the person that had to call their terminal for refusing the load?

    This is not intended to insult anyone, just an observation ...

    This thread is filled with a lot of negative remarks about working for Crete. If it's as bad as everyone claims why do you still work there?

    Because any OTR job sucks. Crete is among he best of the worst.

    Plus, most people don't come online to post positive things that happened at work. It's more fun to gripe.
     
    RoadCall Thanks this.

    Maybe its just me but every time I pull up to a toll booth the toll worker has a good long look at me. Its just creepy. Are they trained to look for suspicious
    behavior? Maybe they're undercover DOT looking to nab unsuspecting truckers. So, being the evil genius that I am, I now stop with my mirror blocking their view of me. This seems to befuddle them. All they see is my arm sticking out with the ticket and money. The needle on my creep-o-meter now barely moves! :biggrin_255:
