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

Enquiring minds...want to know more

 

I met this OO a few months ago in OKC. 8 am on Saturday morning. The moron goes from the left lane so he can show me what's up by passing me on the right like a flippin drama queen.

Why was in the lane I was in? Watch and find out......

 

I was parked at a Loves, just sitting in the driver's seat and Crete parks in front of me and asks me if I'll help him slide his tandems. I ask him if he can't pull out the handle, but it's ok, he just wanted me to SPOT HIM?
He had grease pencil marks showing it's in hole 4 and more marks by hole 2 where he wants it.
So he backs up and the tandems are now all the way forward ....,and he just sits there, (he should pull forward a #### hair) I release the handle and he pulls forward, the pins don't come out , I tell him, he looks, I walk off, he backs up 15 feet and pulls the red knob to get the pins to come out.
I think he just left, I don't think he checked them.
and he was an old man. Had to be in his late 60's, not crippled or anything.

Bonus, I dropped my empty trailer in between two random trailers in a humongous lot at my shipper.
I ran over a bag of wet feces with the trailer, it stunk bad

thats sad too, you should have punched it and blocked him

 

This eclipse has my trip planning all screwed up, usually I stop where I want to drink at, but if I do that today I'll be North of the Line or I can quit early and be right near the Line.
Choices, Choices ?
And no matter where I stop I can still deliver on time.

 

I think drink choice location ... 1st priority....eclipse 2nd

 

If you drink enough, you'll make your own eclipse

 

Truck #37146 (@ 0:22)?

 

5 digit number would mean it's a company truck, owner operators over at Crete are four digits

 

The eclipse out here on the Left Coast was a total no show. It got maybe just a bit darker for a few minutes then right back up to normal daylight. Unimpressed.

Speaking of dipstick drivers, I was taking a break at the Hermiston Oregon Pilot last week and there was a Landstar truck parked two over from me. Just as he is pulling out he rolls down the drivers window and drops his ash tray full of cig butts out onto the parking lot. I didnt have time to get his truck number but I did get his trailer number and called Landstar and told them what I thought of their drivers.

 

At JM Smucker Bloomsbury PA. Arrived at 1300, ran out of hours a few minutes ago. Still not done. Despite what the load info says, yard guy says no parking here. A few minutes later he had this happen:
