Unloaded and reloaded at the same facility in Lakeville, MN. Dropped it off today in Hannibal, MO and picked up a load there heading to Social Circle tomorrow. Need to get an A service done at Marietta as I am 3K over my due date but will see what the backup time is there. Been really tired, guess just worn down with only a couple of days off over nearly two months. Ready to get home.
Another real good week although this last trip was pretty tiresome. Had to get up a little after midnight today to finish it off on time. Sitting in Augusta, GA now with a WM load heading to Midway, TN tomorrow and then hopefully a load heading home.

Howdy Old MP, thanks for thinking about me. Yeah I am doing ok, I have had to take some time off for family stuff. Still looking for that elusive teaching position as well but so far no dice. Take care and have a good week.
Hey Majestyk, thanks for all your informative posts. I just spent the last 2hrs reading your entire thread (because I have that kind of time). I'm currently trying to get on, waiting for verification from a couple of previous employers. I did a lot of research as I have been burned a few times, and I have been greatly encouraged by your posts, as well as a few others out there. Looks like I'm making the right choice...now if they would only get my app approved and get my buttox in a seat!
Howdy guys. Still not back in the truck and perhaps won't be coming back for a while. I think my available away time ends in May. If you get in Captain I believe you will be very happy with Crete, I have nothing but good things to say about them as they have treated me very well during my time there. Do what you are supposed to do and you pretty much never hear from them other than where to pick up your next load, at least that has been my experience. Best of luck.
My Kung ## is strong...now that I finally got that @#$! cat and yellow beanie off my head...should hear something tomorrow. Or I'm going someplace else. Crete is my first choice, but I can't sit around for 2wks waiting for my app to be approved. Crossing fingers....
I know it seems like forever Capt Zoom, but it's better to wait at home rather than getting to an orientation and then they do checks and send you home like some companies do. At least when Crete tells you that you're hired you are, as long as you pass the drug test when you get there. I'll cross my fingers for you too! Good luck!
