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

It must be the money,
It looks nasty in Lincoln, i hate football, but the Poneheads are a playing right now.
I had a pleasant chat with my asset manager today, just some bull #### messages about nothing, back an forth. I may keep her Lol

Chat as in I thanked her for voiding the Utah load, and how the truck is kind of a pos and how the ###### in Indy screwed me out of my breakdown pay

 

Going over my latest statement and find a detention payment for a load from last January.

I just learned where the Washington Redskins are located. I hate football, but I should have known this.....

 

How are you all doing at Crete? Still getting miles or have things slowed down?

 

I been taking a lot of time off at home, and then the truck swap fiasco...
And the last 2 times my hometime ended on the weekend, I had to wait until the next day to get a load,
And the last couple of months, I've emptied out in the morning and my next load picked up the next day, that's happened a lot.
But then a day or the later I'd be up against my 70 again, so I must be running sort of hard.
I quit keeping track of my miles lately,

 

Had a 22:00 time at Kroger Woodlawn (Cincinnati). They finished up at 06:35, lumper said the load broke down into 91 pallets. As soon as I had my bills they wanted me to leave. Most of their staging area is being used as overflow for empty trailers. Got a load from the Boxer warehouse to Alsip after that, and ended the day with a pp for a shag load in the morning.
I don't really track my miles either lately. I should, but usually just to tired. Feels like I'm working harder and ending up with less...

 

I am hoping my days are numbered at Crete ....sent in an application to take a regional position at a smaller more productive outfit (FCC) and hoping to make the transition over after Christmas. At the end of the day productiveness/hometime weighs more than top CPM. I would be lying if I said I was not nervous about transitioning ....

 

Wow, ...Wow....... I hope it works out, if you do switch.
I thought FCC was out of Nebraska, I talked to a couple of their drivers while we were all delivering the wide 4 wheelers in Utah. Seemed like they liked it.
@Onadetour , I was in Alsip Tuesday afternoon, I delivered a shag from the drop lot at Milbury, OH, (Stony Ridge)

Now I'm sitting in Wisconsin watching the Packers get anihalated. I hate football.

 

I'm due home on Monday, I was going to stay out all of December, but hopefully tomorrow (Friday) Morton is going to deliver the pieces for my garage.
We've had a lot of rain again and I hope it dried out for them.
36 x 40 X 12. Super insulated to boot, I don't have electricity yet and the building permit is in my pickup,

 

Building permit for a shop/garage? Why? Oh, that's right, you live in one of those states where you need a permit to wipe your butt.
