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

I have no ideal, and the suspense is killing me.
What do they pay?

 

Ah Minooka. Skipped the I65 bridge thing, went I74 then got lazy and took 57. Checked in a little after 0930, their computer didn't like my drop number and it took a couple of hours to get that worked out. Left at 1300 with a 300 mile load to a grocery warehouse.

 

I would suggest going on I 74 to i 57 and going north

 

Where's the bridge problem at?

 

i-65 both directions near Lafayette Indiana... The bridge is closed until further notice because according to Indiana dot the bridge support have sunk and therefore has made the bridge not worthy of traffic over it

 

I thought only the north bound was closed ?? Me no sure.
But usually I take 74 and bypass ChicAgo. If possible

 

My truck had a date with the Streakin' Beacon today.

 

Don't feel too bad, you're not the only one playing the waiting game. Day 3 of my "adventure" at Los Angeles Freightliner in Fontana, CA starts in a few hours. Brought it in Tuesday morning after delivery for them to fix my fuel gauge (it displays every fuel level except the correct one) and diagnose the new shimmy/vibration problem I've picked up in the last week. They did the fuel gauge Tuesday night, decided the truck needs a 3 axle alignment and ride height adjustment Wednesday morning. I've been waiting since then for Crete to authorize the work. Maybe if I'm lucky they'll ok it so I can actually go home tomorrow night... I'm 114 miles from home after being out for 6 weeks and they won't let me leave the truck here. I'm ready to take some #### time off.

 

That dust is clinging worse than an insecure girlfriend! I washed the sides and man it looks almost like a new one. In fact I priced new 5th wheels and decided mine is just fine!

My co-worker did tell the safety dept. and they know of that stretch of road. They do agree with the driver's viewpoint of lack of signage. Of course insurance and CSA points will be determined with the outcome of his case. It seems as though one enterprising recipient of a driving award has used the freedom of information act to gather a complete list of citations issued on that stretch of road. The list is very long so it appears as though the LEO's use this as a revenue gatherer.

At 15 my dad told me some of the truest words ever spoken. I was just beginning to date and drive. He said: "Son if it has tits or wheels, you're gonna have trouble with it!"

 

Makes one kinda' miss the ole' Maxxfarce powered Cornbinder, doesn't it?? Or maybe brings back unhappy memories of one.
