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

Wow, either business is booming or everyone is home getting ready for turkey day. Both the Crete and Poly threads are slow

 

Starting a reset in Peculiar at the J.

 

Passing thru or waiting on Church and Dwight? If waiting on C&D they will let ya drop your MT early. I dropped my MT early then spent some time there at the ol J.

 

Dropped at Wally in Harrisonville. Got a preplan for Thursday picking up in Spring Hill, Ks. Just gonna chill for about 40 hours. And I do mean CHILL....brrrrrr......gonna be in the teens tonight.

 

Olathe, KS going to Washington Court House in Morning.

 

Another drop and hook turned into a live unload. Needs all mts. Either freight picking up or Crete doesn't have its MTS distributed evenly.

 

Hope everyone over at Happy Valley (a.k.a. Crete) has a happy Thanksgiving

 

The same back at ya SSB.

 

I hope you guys and gals out there on the road have a happy Thanksgiving!

Hoping to be back out there in about three weeks.

 

My regen issues are finally fixed....had to clean out the carbon from the doser valve. Got a nice CA load (1700 miles) but had to turn it down and go back in the shop. Problem got bad enough that the warning lights were staying on. Running beautifully now. Unfortunately, I won't get home Sunday (my T'giving day) and only turned in 700 miles this week, plus a little breakdown pay. First really poor week I've had in quite some time, so I'm really not that bent outta shape about it. Staying out until 12/14, then off for four days to do the last of the Christmas shopping and run up to NC to deliver goodies to the kids and grandkids.

I'm at the Petro in Rochelle, IL this evening. They had some really good turkey there this evening, so it wasn't a total loss. Stay safe, all!

Oh, and that local job with the propane won't work for me. Home every night, 15 miles from my house, but probably $10k less annually. Ain'-a-gonna cut it.
