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

Longest load ever was 3,200 miles from a craft brewery south of San Diego to New Hampshire. Wish those came along more often.

 

Just got an 2,000 mile Ennis, TX to Seattle, WA run. Longest load in 2.5 years w/ Crete.

 

I had a load from Ennis to Kent, WA once, great load, spent the night at the customer and hiked to the Applebee's for supper.
Great time.

 

Ennis to Seattle was one of my last loads before I went to Poly. Hadn't been west in almost 3 years before that, put in a job app elsewhere and BAM, a 2 stopper out west.

 

Yeah, I remember that.
Seems I'm getting longer loads the last year or so.
But last week I had a heavy beer load from Elkton, va to Washington, PA, 74 deadhead and 269 loaded.
What a pain!!! I took the Turnpike instead of their routing of backroads to I-68.
And the getting to the customer was another nightmare

 

I don't miss those beer runs at all the customer in Portland,Oregon
Really sucks and the one in South Dakota the Budweiser plant in La was a nightmare too very heavy

 

The run run from Columbus Ohio to west of the terminal in Indianapolis was extremely heavy

 

My longest runs were from Bangor Maine to Tacoma Washington and
Delaware to California

 

Most part I was back east or in the Midwest

 

My longest load ever was a meat load (Shaffer, you know!) from Logan, UT to Cordele, GA, Brooklyn, NY and the final in Boston, MA. About 3,250 miles.
