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

I have been fighting with them for a new one for 6 months. They took my other truck back in August and gave me a problem ridden International, with over 230,000 miles on it. I spent more time in the shop fixing the problems on it that on the road for the first 3 months. Then in April the A/C compressor burnt up on it...they finally capitulated, and gave me the new one. One thing I miss is the trailer brake...none in the new freightliners...

 

What company did you switch to?

 

that trailer brake on an International was a big help. Only truck I've had that the trailer brake handle would stay down after you pulled it. Helped to find many a service brake chamber leak, especially when you had one just big enough to get a ticket but small enough you wouldn't hear it from the drivers seat.

 

This is why you don't sneak home,
First thing this morning I stubbed my little piggy on my giant stereo speaker. ( I posted it using the thumbnail size)
And another shag, 49 paid empty miles up to Meta MO, but the suggested route and my GPS say 89 miles, so I had to change my lady to "car" mode and it's now 45 miles up a little squiggley gray line (hwy 133) It'll be an adventure.

 

133 sucks. Which direction are you coming in from?

 

St. Robert
It'll really suck for the people behind me

 

that road does suck! and the road north from the dog food place is a steep hill and you'll be near 80K but they do have a scale house

 

Nobody forgets Meta... They need to build a dam and flood it

 

Go via highway B.

 

I use to hate heading there. Especially once I had a Maxxfarce. I thought my Mexican bread Shetland ponies under the hood were gonna have a heart attack.
