Cracks on means to continue vigorously or get started without delay, common in British and Australian English: Right, let's crack on with the meeting.
It suggests determined progress despite obstacles or tedium.
Someone who cracks on pushes forward, often with cheerful persistence: She cracked on with the report despite the interruptions.
