Crete, from one red truck to another

haha, from my experience Crete is about a 20 state carrier The farthest west I have been is near Tulsa. I haven't been above I 64 this time out. Seems I am on the SE regional fleet which is fine by me weather wise. Got a load out of Jacksonville this morning that I couldn't deliver due to two stops on the load with the first delivering at 0130 tomorrow. Well I could have done it but I would have to have waited until 1500 or so to start my day after getting up at 0500 to deliver my last load, wasn't going to happen so I Tcalled it in Spartanburg where I sit now. Picking up near here tomorrow and heading into the Kentucky backwoods for an early afternoon delivery and hopefully get something out of there before nightfall.

 

A semi solid day today. Picked up at a place a few miles from the terminal in Spartanburg. A load of charcoal delivery up to Burnside, KY. Was a d/h which allowed my enough time for get to my next p/u in Bowling Green, KY. Got a long day ahead tomorrow as the customer is 633 miles away in Emporia, KS. Pretty sweet run which sets me up for another nice return run for home hopefully. Spent most of the day driving through rain and some #### heavy winds going through the gorge in NC this morning.

 

Pretty easy day of driving. Knocked out 638 miles, restocked at Wal-mart and managed to squeeze in a shower. Sitting at the Hills Pet plant here in Emporia, Kansas. Got another 600+ mile trip scheduled for tomorrow. Picking up in Lees Summit, MO and rolling to Jackson, TN for a night delivery. Definitely a little chill in the air here, got a little soft with all that Florida time

Well not a shabby week like the previous one. In Zanesville, OH tonight and probably going to have to have a live unload at the Dollar General place in the morning. After that got a preplan to pick up in Mansfield and head toward the house. Going to try and Tcall the load in Greensboro as I won't be able to deliver it in Kinston, NC until the 22nd and I really need to leave for NYC to pick my son up early on the 22nd, we will see. Stayed basically in the south for the entire trip out this time which is fine by me.
