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

Delete

 

Turn in your resignation. You'll get a 1500 miler with 5 stops.

 

You are so right...Or be due home time...and you'll get a 2000 miler...going the other direction

 

I think the reason...weekend dispatch is so pathetic .....they are outside cutting grass ...yard work comes first.

 

I'm so glad I don't have a dispatcher anymore.... This is the biggest reason or at least one of them why carriers can't keep drivers...

 

6 hours after dropping, they told me to head home, 229 miles and a day early.
I dropped at the new ConAgra in Frankfort, IN, which looks to have lots of 200 mile loads coming out of it.
My pre plans today,
North Vernon to Springfield, Mo , 115 empty, 514 loaded, delivers 6-27 16:30
Frankfort to Delaware, OH for 6-27 18:00, 229 miles
Frankfort to Sterling, IL, 258 miles, anytime on 6-27
Greenwood, IN to Hammond, LA, 61 empty and 818 loaded miles. Loaded 6-27 8:00 and delivered 6-29 11:30
.
I doubt if I hit 7,000 miles this month, but I had the first 4 days off and the last 4 days off at home

 

Or a getting a Sat morning preplan that does not pickup until Sun afternoon and show up Sun and Shipper says this load is scheduled for loading on Monday afternoon as we don't even have the product on hand to ship. ....

 

5 stops? Sounds like a Magnum load,

 

I spent so much time there this month, never any freight.
Go to the casino and try to find a beer, the Yelp reviews were right about that place.

 

I talked to an owner op last night sort of like you all, he got a percent of the load, he liked the short loads because of the higher rate,
But, he married "above his class" and he worked 3 weeks and then took 2 weeks off, he said he made 30 to 40 grand a year, but it worked for him.
