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

Double post, so ....

Glad I got a cb here getting unloaded, tight dock, I was one of the few to hear them call us, thus I was the first truck in this set of docks. Easy for me... Sucks for the others.

 

did you do the lease thing like Freightwipper?
Looks like he's making a killing.

 

Spent most of yesterday on the Greyhound. Recovered my "new" truck, a 2011 single bunk Prostar. Not sure where to put stuff, lot less room. Going to have refigure the healthy eating thing, just can't bring the amount of food and prep stuff I've been doing. Truck is really dirty, hate to even put my stuff in here but not much choice at this point. Also has issues like randomly not starting which seems to be a bad switch. All in all it hasn't been the best week.

 

dang, they wouldn't rent you a car?
I got too much stuff for a bus,

I hope they sent you to a dealer for a new mattress

 

Me too. Came out of the house Monday morning. Waited for load to get ready in Lk Wales. When it was ready it had a bad tires and of course due the T1. Got to Deland shop at 16:00. They go home at 16:30. 127 mile day. Noon yesterday I finally get rolling but load has to be relayed. Swap out at midnight last night in Wytheville and driver tells me his load I'm taking going to Detroit, needs a T1, has a leaky tire, and you have to tap the starter to get the reefer to crank. So he just leaves it on continous run. I'm at the Columbus shop now with this one. The one I took to Deland did end up needing repairs to the reefer unit. Fortunately it was a stock part. I must say I have received very efficient service in Deland since they brought in the new shop manager last summer and went to 7 days.

 

That Oriental guy with the poor English and raggedy-arse blue 07 Century Class that has never seen a wax job ?

 

Jeff in the shop quit? Holy crap. He was about the only decent one there when I was leaving and they were down to one shift

 

He's gone. Not sure what the terms of his departure were.

 

yeah. Nice guy.

 

I just got SiriusXm in the truck. So glad to hear something other than NPR. 20 bucks a month. I think it's a good deal.
