    X endorsement?

    When did Abilene buy tankers?

    You need a tanker endorsement to haul totes

    This showed up the other day when I was at the yard. FCDB0840-55CF-463F-A2DF-AA8BCBCFEDCD.jpeg

    Then during my travels through the yard looking for an empty, I spotted this fine looking trailer. A3E58794-D665-46B8-9E9C-5B9D03B796AE.jpeg

    Oh, gotcha. I didn't realize Abilene hauled totes.

    If anyone wants to see a pile of totaled trucks, take a leisurely stroll down to the body shop. Around the side of the building, where all the traded off reefers are, there’s a whole row, 10 not counting the previous picture I posted, of 19xxx and 20xxx of totaled trucks. There’s actually 11 trucks there, but only one is someone else hitting us and we’re waiting on the insurance adjuster to come in and total it. The others are all on us.

    All that junk piled up will require a lot of buffing.

    We actually do have two tankers. Saw 'em on the yard last year. They had our AMX livery, which is the side of the business that rents out storage trailers. Dunno what they were for. Haven't seen 'em since.

    But I already have a N endorsement. Got that when I got my CDL, before I ever started working at Abilene.
