Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Good luck with the health issues my man. Glad to hear the back issues are treatable, and hopefully the bladder stones won't cause you too much agita. Is that the treatment where they basically shatter it with ultrasonic sound?

 

You will. I took almost a year off.

 

That mean you're back?

 

I am generally of the opinion that I'll drive wherever as long as I'm paid. So driving bobtail all over hell and creation looking for empties that aren't there...I'm still getting paid.

But man, it just mystifies me that we don't know where our empties are. Aren't those things expensive?

There are two things about this company that have baffled me from Day 1, and that's one of 'em.

 

I fought this battle at Schneider two weeks ago. Their system (and our driver app) might indicate five empties, but when you arrive they’re all loaded, and you send in the appropriate macro saying no empties.

But then they send you the last DVIR of one of those trailers, basically reiterating that there IS an empty there. And that’s when I go off, telling them in all caps that I looked at that and other boxes and THEY ARE ALL LOADED.

I’m pretty sure they’re all going to the same training facility.

 

I’m guessing those college degrees really paid off didn’t they..lol

 

I picked up a empty out of the knight yard in Orlando,that had 2 printer's of osd on it,could have easily put them on the truck,abilene acted like they didn't know.

Last time I came out the house they sent me to get an empty from Wilson,no empties,I was like how do they not know.

They use to send me home from the yard,with a hill phoenix to drop in Wilson,now they bobtail me,because they don't want the trailer to get 'lost'.

Also the planning here sometimes leaves alot to be desired.
