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

Yeah ,welcome to Crete, even without trying you should make at least $57,000 a year. Probably way more.
Feel free to ignore my posts, I just like to ramble from time to time.
Like now,
Yep, I woke up and saw I had 10 hours to work today, plus I gained like 5 tomorrow and I'm 170 miles from an all day delivery,
S0. Why not grab a reset and do my laundry and procrastinate!?

 

Ramble away Tucker, the more rambling the more I learn!

 

I'll get home tomorrow morning for hometime, on a holiday weekend.

 

I've been away from TTR for awhile... Glad to see you guys keeping the thread active!

Anyway, I have a dumb question. Anybody else have trouble with miles towards the end of the year? I'm beginning to think I pissed someone off and. Seems like the planners put in a conscious effort to screw me out of my penny per mile raise by throwing short run after short run at me... Until the day after Christmas where I got a 2700 mile trip from WA to PA. A trip that didn't deliver until after the 1st of the year and therefore didn't count for last months miles. So I finished the year with 113965 paid miles... 35 miles short. I guess it could be worse, I could still be with Swift making 39cpm...

 

Doesn't it go based on your hire aniversary rather then January- December?

 

I can't remember. I know I got the raise last year but I thought it was on the first paycheck in January. I guess I'll find out for sure soon... January 23rd is my hire anniversary.

 

It is based on your hire anniversary

 

Your annual raise is based on your hire anniversary. The January one spoken of in a previous post was an across the boards raise that took effect Jan 1, 2015. Everyone got an increase of 2 to 4 cents.

 

Paradise, I asked Siri the temperature just so I could here her go "BRRRRRR it's 18 degrees"

I'm still on hometime, day 3, I got a call yesterday afternoon from Lincoln,
seems the place I delivered to in Lafayette (6 or 7 pallets of copper from Amarillo) wanted to see if I was ok. They had on video the yard guy tripping me as I got in my truck, and that they suspended the guy, Lincoln gave me the woman's name in HR and the phone number and I called this morning.
Turns out he didn't stick his leg out as I was climbing in the cab, but they say he raised the dock plate and tripped me.
I told her I didn't remember that, and he did a great job unloading me, total time there under 20 minutes and to call him back and pay him backpay.
I'm gonna check tommorow and see if they called him back to work,

 

Good for you Tucker!
